Sunny & 65 with Madi Schultz: Recent Episodes

Madi Schultz

Join Madi Schultz as she imperfectly pursues Jesus and emphatically encourages you to do the same. Through scripture, conversations, and testimonies— Madi's prayer is that you would walk away from listening to each episode with a greater affection for Jesus + experience the freedom He has for you in deeper ways.

We survived (and might I say thrived...well, some of the days!!) our first year of homeschooling! And I kind of loved it. A lot. Yes, I was someone who said they would NEVER homeschool. Well, God always does something with our "nevers" doesn't He!

We are currently doing a hybrid homeschool classical education model with our oldest, Zan. We are just a mere one year in! There is no expert status here! (nor will there ever be!) In this episode I walk through what the classical education model is (7:01), what hybrid homeschooling is (22:30), how we found ourselves homeschooling (26:47), what our day-to-day looks like homeschooling (34:38), rhythms we have implemented (that now are just a part of our life!) (40:58), and at the end I answer some questions you guys had about it all (54:12)! Ultimately, my prayer is that this episode and information is helpful for you as you're sifting through with the Lord what direction He may be specifically leading you + your family in!

Josh and Katie Walters are GOLD!!!! Oh my goodness. I adored this conversation. Josh and Katie are parents to 7 beautiful children. Josh pastors at Seacoast Church in South Carolina while Katie is an author + speaker + runs their home and is the founder/visionary of Francis + Benedict. Their book, New Marriage Same Couple: Don't Let Your Worst Days Be Your Last Days, is out! After walking through something that should have destroyed their marriage, God redeemed and restored it to better than it was before like only God can! I've been impacted by this thriving marriage for years now on the internet and getting to chat with them was such a treat. Jesus exudes out of both of them. You guys are going to be so impacted by their story. Enjoy!

It was SUCH a joy to chat with Cheyenne Boluyt. She is a mother of three girls and the Director of Women's Ministry at her church in Michigan. She shares about God meeting her in the darkest time of her life through His Word and His people and I won't ever forget what she shared. She is also passionate about bible literacy, cultural analysis(what are you worshipping?), and lament as the path to joy. This gal loves God and that is evident!!! I'm so excited for you to hear this episode! Enjoy!

Ten Minute Truth | 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

In this episode, I share 15 rhythms that we do or have done with our children as we long to intentionally teach them about Jesus + show them what it looks like to follow Jesus. Most of these are SO small and nothing crazy. SO many that I learned from other moms that have gone before me, or ideas I heard and changed for what worked best for our fam. My prayer is that these encourage and stir up ideas/rhythms that you can incorporate in your own home!

A little outline of the episode(all of these are explained further in the episode):

INTRO/PREFACE: It starts with US following and abiding in the Living God! It will be out of the overflow of us knowing, enjoying, and glorifying God that will have the most impact on our children.

DISCLAIMER: None of these are cute and tidy. None of these are done perfectly. Perfection is never the goal. Pursuing, enjoying and depending on Jesus is. 🤎

1. Explicitly Sharing the Gospel with our Kids (Listen to Episode 61)

2. Nighttime Book Routine - 1 Bible Story & 1 Chapter of Kid’s Pilgrims Progress

3. Family Bible (real bible)/Prayer Time

4. Why were you made? "To know God, to enjoy God, to glorify God."

5. “God created you, God loves you, God is kind to you, God is relentlessly pursuing you.” (First three from Like Me by Laura Wifler)

6. Why do I love you? /Why does God love you?
"Because I’m your son/daughter."
Is there anything you could do to make me love you more or less?
"No."

7. Today is the day the Lord has made…I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Where does our joy/gladness come from?

8. Prayer

9. Thanks God

10. Verse Memorization

11. The New City Catechism

12. Prayer in the Car

13. Repetition

14. Patience is waiting with a happy heart.

15. Monkey See Monkey Do + Spending time with God

Episode recorded for Linden's Podcast - The Testimony Podcast

Linden's words about the episode: "I am deeply passionate about redefining health by anchoring us back in the foundations of true wellness ; faith, mindset & trauma, nutrition, movement, sleep, hydration, connecting with nature and community. I believe God has created and woven our bodies with His purpose, and when we can get back to genuine design, we live optimally. When we begin to rebuild our bodies and reconnect the mind, body, and spirit, we are able to step into greater and deeper healing by God's grace.

This week I have one of my best friends on, Madi Schultz, and we dive into friendships! We talk all about the impact of relationships on mental/emotional health, how to pursue community, what to look for in a friend, signs of health and signs of toxicity, how to become a good friend yourself, and the secrets of having long lasting deep friendship with others."

What if we explicitly shared the gospel with our kids every day?

What if we took seriously the mission field of our HOMES— these precious, tiny ears that God has called us to disciple and help form. We have a responsibility, and it’s an EXCITING ONE. God is the one who saves, the pressure is entirely off, and also He’s entrusted us to share the best news we’ve ever heard with these tiny humans that we spend the most time with. Let’s not take this role lightly— but let’s be parents who intentionally, relentlessly share the gospel with our kiddos. Handing them the puzzle pieces, pleading to the Lord that He would bring understanding and help them put the puzzle together someday. Amen? LET’S DO IT. 💪🏼
(This is to moms AND dads and everyone honestly ps— even tho I only say moms)

____________________________

“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:14-15
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
Romans 1:16
_______________________
What if in our friendships, along with asking the deep, hard, good questions to encourage and keep each other accountable in our walks with Jesus— what if we also kept encouraging and keeping one another accountable in the discipleship of our kids?
What if a normal question in our friendships was— how have you been leading your kiddos to Christ lately? Or “Let’s both share the gospel with our kiddos today!!” Not covering your question/encouragement with ANY condemnation/judgment. (Romans 8:1) But for the sake of spurring on, encouraging, learning from each other, growing together, and challenging one another in the discipleship of our kids.
The gates of hell would really hate that.
Invite your friends into this with you. 🤍

Rachel Mattley!!! I love this wise, humble, joy-filled gal so much. God has given her SO much wisdom as she has walked with Him. Are you discouraged in your singleness? This episode is for you! Are you wondering how to love your single friends well? This episode is for you! Rachel shares 15 lies that single people/people in the church believe, and Truth to combat those lies. I learned so much in this episode on how to be loving my single friends well, many things I had never even thought about!! We also talk about discipleship, children and more! Always inspired by this gal!!!

Enjoy!

"We Can't Make Ourselves Be Good Friends Slash Go Be a Good Friend"

I had the absolute honor of getting to speak at a church's women's retreat this last October! I can’t even begin to express how humbled I was to be asked to do this and how sweet it was to partner with the Lord on this. This is the SECOND session of two that I got to teach on the topic of Christian friendship. If you haven't listened to the first session, Episode 44, I highly recommend listening to that one first!

Praying these two talks are helpful, encouraging and edifying as you navigate the call of a Christian, specifically in friendships. ENJOY!

From the episode:ASK MORE QUESTIONS PDF: 77 Questions to start conversations + deepen friendships - Feel free to download it to your computer/phone! Discussion Questions:

  1. In what areas of your life do you find yourself striving instead of abiding in Jesus? Be specific.
  2. How have you seen your unbelief in the gospel (sin) affect your friendships or pursuit of friendships? Be specific.
  3. Regarding the question above - what is the specific gospel truth that combats your unbelief? (Ask your table for help if it is hard to pinpoint! This is why we have community!)
  4. Of the 8 practical ways listed at the end of the talk, which do you struggle with the most to do and which do you find the easiest to do in your friendships? (pursue people & ask questions, not surprised by sin, assume the best/take your thoughts captive, keep no record of wrongs, resist the urge to withdraw, humble yourself/offer yourself as a living sacrifice, withhold no good words, rejoice in and enjoy friendship)
  5. What is one practical way you can lay down your life for a friend and/or pursue a friendship this week? Be specific. Write this down. Ask someone to hold you accountable.
  6. What is a practical way you can abide in the Lord this upcoming week? Ask the table to hold you accountable.

Pray

  1. Pray for each other
  2. Pray that God would show you where you are striving or white knuckling, and that He would lead you into abiding in Him.
  3. Ask God to show you any areas of unbelief in the gospel.
  4. Pray for deep gospel-centered friendships to continue to be formed at your church and in your life.
  5. Pray that God’s power would move in and through your friendships for His glory as you abide in Him and believe the gospel.

**From the episode:

Discussion Questions:**

  1. What does it mean to you that Jesus is your friend?
  2. Is it difficult for you to see Jesus as a friend? Explain why.
  3. What are ways that Christian friendship looks different from worldly friendship?
  4. Has friendship been easy or hard for you in this season of life? How so?
  5. How have you seen a friend lay down their life for you?
  6. Of the three ways that friendship is necessary listed in the message - which have you seen play out in your own life? Give an example. (Friendship is necessary for our sanctification/transformation, for the good of the church, and for the world to see Jesus)
  7. How has the Lord specifically gifted you for God’s glory and the good of your friendships? If someone at your table is having trouble seeing where the Lord has gifted them, and you know them well, speak into that!
  8. Is there someone in your life that has a clear invitation to speak into your life? If yes, share how that has impacted your life. If not, is there someone God is placing on your heart to invite in?

Take a moment to pray for your current friendships and future friendships.

My dear friend, Leah Pieper, invited me onto her podcast, Fresh Life Podcast, to share a story of how I've seen God's redemption in my life. God redeemed motherhood for me! Through getting pregnant unexpectedly, not trusting God, battling crippling fear, and postpartum depression God continued to be faithful. He sustained me and revived my soul through His living and active Word. So sweet to remember back on His sweet faithfulness. Praying this episode reminds you to look back and remember the ways God has been faithful.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

no harm will overtake you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him

and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91 (NIV)

The Fourfold Gospel

The Pursuit of God by A W Tozer

My Jesus by Anne Wilson

View Details

Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 1 (ESV)

Oh my word I learned so much from Jake Peterson!!! From getting people's phone numbers, to why the triangle of missiology/doxology/theology is important, to the importance of discipleship it was such an honor to have this dude on the podcast. I walked away spurred on and believing you will too. Can't wait for you to listen! Enjoy!

Friends!! It's been a minute!! So excited to be back. Today's episode is a little update on life lately and then talking about one of my absolute favorite things: OUR COMPLETE FREEDOM IN CHRIST. You're free from the power of sin. You're free from guilt and shame. The list of things you're free from in Christ is ENDLESS. You are SO free. What laws or rules have you placed over yourself or others that you don't even know about? You're free from them. Let's walk in the full freedom God has called us into. Praying this episode brings you freedom in the Lord. YOU ARE SO FREE IN CHRIST IT'S CRAZY! Galatians 5:13

Today we're talking about John 15!!! In a world that is screaming at us 24/7 to strive- do more, be more, make more, influence more. Jesus is calling us to ABIDE in him. To remain in him. What does it look like to abide in Christ? Let's take some fruit inventory on our lives! Praying this episode is encouraging and freeing, friend! Stop striving. Start abiding.

In the spring of 2020 the Lord called me to a 6 month social media hiatus. After suppressing the idea for a month or so, He made it crystal clear (as if He hadn't already) that that is what He wanted me to do. Alas, I took 6 months off of social media. Which ended up being the most pivotal 6 months in my walk with the Lord, ever. I hope you're encouraged by this episode as I reflect on and share what He taught me during those 6 months. "If the enemy can't destroy you, he'll distract you."

This episode is from an IGTV I posted on instagram a few weeks back, candidly processing through some things the Lord has freed me from this year! He has given me the freedom to live an ordinary life. And friends, FULL DISCLAIMER: when you're pursuing Christ with your entire life, it is FAR FAR from ordinary. Praying this short conversation encourages you to run your unique race He has set before you, not feeling like you have to compete or compare your race to anyone else's.

I could sit and chat with Caleb Palensky (also known as "cap" in our family) FOREVER. This guy is one of Alex and I's absolute best friends, and he has truly had an eternal impact on our family. No joke. He is arguably one of the most disciplined/bold followers of Jesus I have the privilege of knowing and in this episode we sort of cover it all. I honestly just got to sit back and listen to him spit wisdom at me, which is one of my favorite past times anyways.
