We’re back with episode 19 of the Stay True Podcast! This week join Madison, Grant, and special guest Jonathan Pokluda as they answer some questions that you may have had as a follower of Christ or maybe you have been asked by others and have difficulty answering. We sit down with Pastor, Author, and podcast host Jonathan Pokluda (JP) and ask him the tough questions that we are likely to face: What does it mean to be a Christian? How can Jesus be the only way and the ultimate truth? Can Christians have anxiety or take medication? We know that this episode will challenge you and equip you for the conversations to come.

This episode, we answer the questions:

• What does it mean to follow Jesus?

• Do we have to share the Gospel with others as a Christian?

• How is Jesus the only way when there are other religions?

• Can Christians have anxiety / take medication for it?

• What does it mean to fear the Lord?

We’re back with another episode of Stay True! This week, join Madison in the Stay True studio as she tackles a difficult but overwhelmingly relevant topic - overcoming temptation. Temptation isn’t a new concept - in fact, even Jesus was faced with temptation in the wilderness! There are many warnings in Scripture that tell us as Christians it is not a matter of “if” we will face temptation, it’s when. How do you prepare for obstacles, and how can you overcome these pressures? In this episode, we will answer these questions and more as we discuss what it means to put action behind our faith and make room for God in everything we do. We hope that you love this episode and of course, don’t forget to stay you and stay true!

This episode, we talk about:

• Preparing for moments of temptation

• Standing firm in the midst of trials

• Peer pressure and finding Godly community

• Denying your desires and tuning into God’s will
