Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! In a culture that constantly tells us to love yourself, romanticize our lives, protect our peace, and put ourselves first, Jesus offers a radically different invitation: come and die, deny yourself, and serve others. In this episode, Madi is answering honest questions about comparison, insecurity, people-pleasing, pride, and self-obsession. She unpacks how to take your eyes off yourself, follow the way of Jesus, and find true freedom by living for something greater than yourself.

As always, stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

• What's wrong with the message "love yourself"?
• Why insecurity can be a form of self-obsession
• The connection between insecurity, arrogance, and pride
• How comparison keeps us focused on ourselves
• The danger of always putting yourself first
• How to recognize people-pleasing in your life

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi sits down with Annie F. Downs to talk about how to stop letting what you don't have keep you from fully living the life God has given you right now.

As always, stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

• What do you do when your prayers go unanswered?
• Can you miss what God has for you?
• Is fear causing you to hide or hold yourself back?
