Sunny & 65 with Madi Schultz

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.

Episode 71: Cheyenne Boluyt
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!

Episode 68: TMT | 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Ten Minute Truth | 1 Corinthians 1:18-3118 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.”____________________________________Subscribe to my emails and Monthlyish Newsletter here!Join the Sunny & 65 bookclub here!mackandbenj.comLET'S CONNECT: madi@sunnyand65.com____________________________________FROM THE EPISODE:#SA65Bookclub Book of the Month for January/February: The Insanity of God by Nik RipkenExodus 3:11-14Episode 15: Austin EdwardsAustin Edwards Sermon from Keystone's PrepareEpisode 14: Greg GilbertLife Application Study BibleOTHER FUN THINGS:My List of MUST-READ Books30% Off Lifetime Subscription to Dwell Bible AppBible Recap BookMy Study Bible I LoveThe Daily Grace Co.

Episode 64: 15 Rhythms We Do With Our Kids

Episode 64: 15 Rhythms We Do With Our Kids
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 Time4. 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. Prayer9. Thanks God10. Verse Memorization11. The New City Catechism 12. Prayer in the Car13. Repetition 14. Patience is waiting with a happy heart. 15.

Episode 62: Friendship | Linden Hogan
My dearest friend, Linden Hogan, had me on her podcast to chat about friendship!  The Testimony PodcastLinden'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."____________________________________Subscribe to my emails and Monthlyish Newsletter here!Join my bookclub here!mackandbenj.comLET'S CONNECT: madi@sunnyand65.com____________________________________FROM THE EPISODE:#SA65Bookclub Book of the Month for July: Don't Waste Your Life by John PiperLinden's Podcast - The Testimony Podcast@LindenMcKayCheck out Linden's E-Book! — Your Simple, Empowering, & All Encompassing E-Book on Nutrition : SatisfiedOTHER FUN THINGS:Bible Recap BookMy Study Bible I LoveThe Daily Grace Co.

Episode 61: Sharing the Gospel With Your Kids
Aug 30 2023
Episode 61: Sharing the Gospel With Your Kids
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. 🤍Instagram Video____________________________________Subscribe to my emails and Monthlyish Newsletter here!Join my bookclub here!mackandbenj.comLET'S CONNECT: madi@sunnyand65.com____________________________________#SA65Bookclub Book of the Month for August: Don't Waste Your Life by John PiperOTHER FUN THINGS:Bible Recap BookMy Study Bible I LoveThe Daily Grace Co.
