This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with singer-songwriter Jamie MacDonald for a powerful conversation about trusting God's timing when you feel behind.
Long before the #1 songs, Jamie spent years singing in the background, wondering when the dreams God placed on her heart would ever happen. After walking through loss, disappointment, unexpected detours, and years of waiting, Jamie signed her first record deal at 40. Her story is a reminder that God is not late, and the years that feel hidden are never wasted.
Together, Madi and Jamie talk about what it looks like to trust God when everyone around you seems to be moving forward, how to stay faithful when your prayers haven't been answered yet, and why God may be doing some of His deepest work in you while you wait.
If you've ever wondered, "God, when is it going to be my turn?" or felt like you should be further along by now, this episode is for YOU.
You are not behind. God has not forgotten you. And His timing can still be trusted.
As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!
 
Topics we dive into:
-What do you do when you feel behind in life?
-How do you trust God when His timing doesn't match yours?
-How do you stop comparing your timeline to everyone else's?
-What is God doing in your waiting season?
-How do you surrender your plans while still holding onto hope?
-How can you stay faithful when prayers seem unanswered?

As always, stay you and stay true!

This week on Stay True Podcast, Kevin Olusola opens up about calling, identity, and what it looks like to trust God when it doesn't make sense. From turning down a life-changing opportunity with Pentatonix to later stepping into it with full confidence in God's timing, Kevin shares how surrender changed everything. Kevin and Madi dive into the tension of stewarding your gifts with excellence without letting performance define you, and what it looks like to stay grounded in an industry built on applause and recognition. Kevin opens up about the pressure to fit in, the courage it takes to stand out, and how his faith has anchored him through every season.
This episode also speaks to anyone who has ever felt "too different" or misunderstood. Kevin shares why the very thing you're tempted to hide might be the exact thing God wants to use, and how staying rooted in Christ is the only way to remain steady when everything else feels uncertain.
If you've ever struggled with identity, felt pressure to perform, or wondered how to stay faithful in a secular space, this conversation will hit deep. It's a reminder that you don't have to fit in to be used by God.
Stay you and stay true!
 
Topics we dive into:
-Why Kevin said no to Pentatonix and how God changed everything
-How to steward your gifts without letting them become your identity
-Staying grounded in Christ in an industry driven by applause
-Finding courage to stand out instead of blending in
-What to do when you feel overlooked, different, or misunderstood
-Remaining rooted in your faith in a secular environment
AND SO MUCH MORE!

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with authors, pastors, speakers, and friends Jennie and Levi Lusko for a conversation about something so many of us are craving but struggle to find: true rest. In a world that constantly tells us to do more, hustle harder, and keep pushing, it's no wonder so many of us feel spiritually exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed.
Together, they talk about what to do when your mind won't stop spiraling, how to trust God when it feels like He's silent, and why following Jesus doesn't mean life will always be easy. Jennie and Levi also share practical wisdom on fighting entitlement and discovering the kind of soul-deep rest that only God can provide. If you've been feeling worn out, discouraged, or simply running on empty, this conversation will remind you where real peace is found.
 
As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!
 
Topics we dive into:
-Why do we feel so spiritually exhausted?
-What do you do when your mind won't stop spiraling?
-How do you trust God when He doesn't seem to answer your prayers?
-How do you fight entitlement and cultivate gratitude?
-What does true rest for your soul actually look like?
-Why is God more concerned with who you're becoming than what you're doing?
