Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Bible teacher, author, and The Bible Recap host Tara-Leigh Cobble for a conversation that might completely change the way you read Scripture. If you've ever opened the Bible and felt confused, overwhelmed, discouraged, or wondered if you're missing something, this episode is for YOU.
Together, they unpack one of the biggest mistakes Christians make when reading the Bible, why so many of us unknowingly read Scripture through the lens of culture instead of God's character, and how seeing the Bible the way it was intended changes everything. They also talk about why reading the entire Bible matters, what happens when verses are taken out of context, and how to move from simply reading God's Word to genuinely knowing and loving Him through it.
As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!
 
Topics we dive into:
-Are you reading the Bible the way it was meant to be read?
-Why do so many Christians struggle to understand Scripture?
-Why does reading the entire Bible matter?
-What is the Trinity?
-What does it actually mean to fall in love with God's Word?

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman! Together, they unpack one of the most important questions every Christian has to answer: Are we following the real Jesus… or the version of Jesus we've created?
In a culture that constantly reshapes Jesus into someone who fits our preferences, politics, emotions, and lifestyle, this conversation challenges us to return to the Jesus of Scripture. Madi and Pastor Kyle talk about why so many people want Jesus as Savior but not as Lord, how we've unintentionally turned Christianity into something we consume instead of a life we surrender, and what it actually costs to follow Christ. If you've ever wondered whether your faith has been shaped more by culture than by God's Word, this episode will leave you asking some hard, but life-changing questions.
Be sure to stay you and stay true!
 
Questions we answer in this episode:
-Have we created a version of Jesus that looks more like us than Scripture?
-Has culture quietly shaped the way you see Jesus?
-Are you following Christ, or just consuming Christianity?
-How can you tell if your faith is built on God's Word or personal preference?
-Why did Jesus talk so much about surrender and sacrifice?
-What does it actually cost to follow Jesus?
AND SO MUCH MORE!

In today's episode, Madi sits down with her new friend, Lily Meschi, who was born and raised in Iran in a Muslim family before moving to the United States. Together, they have an honest conversation about what life was really like for Lily growing up in Iran, the realities many women face behind closed doors, and the questions that ultimately led her to explore Christianity and surrender her life to Jesus.
They also discuss the true cost of converting from Islam, why faith can be such a dangerous topic in certain parts of the world, and the difference between simply knowing about God and having a genuine relationship with Him.
Madi and Lily also dive into the current tensions and conflict in the Middle East, address common misconceptions about the Iranian people, and explore how Christians can engage these conversations with both biblical truth and Christlike compassion.
This is one of those conversations that will challenge your perspective, deepen your faith, and stay with you long after it ends.
As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!
