- Welcome to the very first episode of Stay True podcast! In this episode our host, Madison Prewett Troutt, shares her story of finding God and herself. This is the most vulnerable Madison has ever been as she gets honest about her past struggles in singleness and loneliness and how she overcame people pleasing, shame, and the “prove yourself” mindset. She shares about her experience of finding God and how that led to true freedom, joy, and peace. We believe here at Stay True that you were made on purpose and for a purpose. Everyone has a story and we hope you are encouraged by Madi’s and that you feel inspired to share yours. Enjoy this week’s episode and be sure to stay you, stay true 😊
I’ve been that guy so depressed and alone sitting in a nasty motel room with a loaded gun under my chin asking myself if I wanted to make it to the next day. I got on my hands in knees and cried out loud in prayer rebuking the devil and praying for Jesus to remove anything that was not of him. I made it out of that motel alive, and with continued prayer and due diligence I am 100% a believer and saved.
Amen! Praise God!
Praise God! ❤Praying for you and blessings
Amen praise God! We’re grateful for you choosing to live and believe ❤
I know that feeling of despair and desperation brother. I never realized how dark things could get. It's actually shocking. God was my last resort.
45:40 - 45:49 - "God cares so much more about who you're becoming than what you're waiting for."

"when you stop thinking about yourself you get free" 🔥
"Dont neglect where you currently are because its not where you want to be" momma Prewett with the God-given wisdom 🙌
The season I just recently walked out of where I would cry on my knees and say "Jesus you are all I have." was probably the toughest to experience but the most transformative. My faith has never been the same since.
Beyond excited that you started a podcast
Can we get a part 2, where you talk about what your daily routine with Jesus looks like, and what a healthy marriage dynamic looks like. If you may! ❤
Girl you got me FIRED UP! Amen ❤
only God truly can fulfill! don't be scared, God wants us to trust Him!
I trust you god Madi I love you beautiful amen amen amen 🙏
Love that you’re making a video version!!
Thank you God for bringing me and Madison prewett together soon can you have her pick me up the weekend amen amen amen 🙏
"Dont let his inability to see your worth, make you question your worth". Needed this. God is speaking through you!
Wow, Madi this episode is such a blessing!! Thank you for your heart and being vulnerable as you share your story. It's so beautiful and inspiring! I went through a season myself where I felt like I had to "prove myself" for 3 years because I was rejected twice before being accepted into nursing school. The first time I was rejected I doubted my worth because I had to start my junior year in a different direction than all my friends in my nursing prerequisite classes my first two years of college and I felt lonely. However, from 2019-2022 I learned how to focus on my relationship/identity with Christ rather than in the grades in my nursing prereq classes similar to how you were sharing your singleness season. I ended up going to a different college after graduating with my first degree in 2020 and finally ended up starting nursing school May 2022. The Lord met me the most in nursing school and I never expected I could encounter the Lord so strongly. May of 2023 was my final semester of nursing school and I couldn't pay my tuition because I had been in college for 7 years at this point. A few weeks later I told one of my friends who I met in a Christian sorority we were both part of in 2020-2022 and she offered to make a Gofund me page for my tuition. In July just a month before graduating, the Lord provided me $5,000 through that page which covered the rest of my tuition and I had a few hundred left over. Praise God! I have now been working as a nurse for almost 6 months and it's such a blessing! Every shift I work now is a gift to me and my relationship and trust with Jesus continues to grow! Thank you again for sharing your story and I can't wait to hear more!
I loved this a lot. God bless this new season and congratulations on the podcast. I am looking forward to this season ❤

I’ve always thought to myself how I’d love to hear a podcast from you!!! So amazing this is going to touch so many people
Madi, I first came across you when you were on the bachelor! A lot of people go on that show and say they are Christians but don’t do a good job living it out or really displaying what it means to be a Christian but you were different, I could tell you were a true follower and lover of God! You were easily my favourite on the show! Then I followed you know instagram and you popped up on a few podcasts I usually listen to and I am SO excited for this podcast! So happy for this step in your life and I can’t wait to follow along and see where God takes you with it! Thanks for sharing your story ❤
Love the vibes meet value part and you shared huge gems in this video especially when it comes to delay and how God can use it to reveal the treasures of our heart. Also the whole idea of staying true is such a pertinent concept to this era we are living in and especially as believers in Christ the freedom and peace we get when we stay true to who God has made us to be!! looking forward to future episodes!
So excited and happy for you and this new journey!! We need more podcast like this❤ glad that God is guiding you to spread his word ❤
Praise GOD!!! I’m so excited for this podcast! ❤️💕

Hi, Maddie!
My daughter sent this to me. I listened. I'm glad that you started a podcast. It's very inspiring. I hope that you continue doing it. Our GOD chose you to speak on his behalf and you're doing an excellent job. We'll be waiting for the next podcast.
God bless always.
this was so good. can’t wait for this journey!!! 💙
i’ve been waiting for this ever since you did a pole on your instagram channel for a podcast name ! i’m so excited to grow and learn from you. you have been one of my greatest “mentors”, although i have literally never met you in person, you have inspired me along the way; ever since the beginning of my walk with Jesus. (i mean i would still call myself a “toddler” now in reference to the “baby christian” term) lol. you have done such an amazing job being a inspiration that stands firm and holds strong to the commitment you’ve made to follow and lead others to Christ! you’ve inspired me and encouraged me so much! it’s such a gift to have people like you online, this can be such a lonely journey, so i’m incredibly grateful for the times i have been able to look to you and hear from you (like i would from a friend or someone in community). Thank you Madison, im so excited for you, for us and for what God will do through Stay True! 🤍
I have been needing a podcast from you for YEARS🩷 thank you, so much!!!!! I am so ecstatic!
I’m so thankful that God put you in my life!
Its crazy that the things that God was saying through you freed so many people in many different situations
Great first episode! So excited for this podcast!
Thank you Madi. Your weekly emails always give me so much encouragement. Much love from Uganda

Thank you so much, this is so encouraging.
so inspirational 🥰🫶🏾congratulations. I’m glad I clicked on this video
that bible pillow got me!!!! i love it!
This is amazing. Been saying for 2 months I wish madi would start a podcast!! Something I would like to hear is in the singleness of your 20s how do you have fun with friends but still stay true to your values!!?
Just as i finished watching the podcast you sent Jeremiah 29:11 to DBE,I needed to hear that💖(and that is also currently my favourite Biblie verse).I love the episode and I'm excited for more. God is using you in wonderful ways💖
I loooove madi this is my home every monday
I’d been meaning to watch this episode since you released it but for some reason something kept coming up. Today I felt like God was wanting me to finally take the time and watch it 🥺 I’d been struggling on trusting God’s timing and this was exactly what my heart needed ❤️ Thank you!
So proud of you and so excited for this!!!! I know you mentioned it a bit in your recent book, but will you touch on how to gain full confidence in how God views us and how we can apply this to our everyday lives? Sometimes, I feel like it’s easy to read about it but hard to understand and believe it for ourselves on a daily basis. The best is yet to come and I can’t wait!!! 💙
the part of this pod where you spoke about shifting the focus away from yourself and to God really spoke to me. It's been the exact prayer that I've been praying the past few days as I've recognized it's a big downfall of mine. This pod felt like God's way of affirming me that others have been through it and that I will get to where He wants me to be too.
I have been in a constant struggle/ battle for quite some time with lots of ups but mostly downs. My life has changed dramatically in a way not honoring God as I’d hope. This video was just what I needed. It gave me a new perspective & mindset shift to stop thinking about me/my problems or my insecurities & serve others! I know that God loves me. Thank you, Maddie!
Madi, your testimony is so amazing, how you met God and were confronted by him to let you know where your heart was and to start living alone and for him. I identify myself a lot because right now I find myself going through that process of confrontation in which, through you, God spoke to me and made me understand that everything is about him, my heart has to be in him and he will take care of the rest. Thank you for this. I won't miss your episodes and I translated it because I'm learning this language. God bless you, thank you Madi.
I’m 24 years old live in miami FL and I recently found God like many others through heartbrake and literally being at my lowest point in life. He gifted me peace since I started my walk with him I’ve seen so many of your videos on different channels and Instagram. I wanted to share with you that I struggle the most with breaking unholy attachments that don’t serve my relationship with God if you’ve ever been in a similar situation I’d love to hear how to navigate this. I do pray on it constantly but even when I try to break this soultie it is a deep rooted pain that I feel each day without them.
God bless you my sister in Christ
Your love story is so sad and hurt Maddie I can feel it through the screen 😢 But I'm happy now that you're with someone truly loves you ❤
I’m in my “me and God” era too. Lots of tears. Just went through a break up of 4 years, he already has a girl after a month. Also started writing a book 😭 The title of your podcast speaks so deep to me too! Lots of similarities here 🫶🏻 praying for you! 🙏🏻
This is such a good podcast it feels so genuine and real. I would like you to dive into your sins and expand upon what exactly you struggled with because I remember hearing you mention in a interview before briefly about how you struggled with looking at stuff online and tbh you don’t really hear much women speak about those struggles it’s mainly men that you hear about which I have to say I just got free recently from that addiction, and I would like to know how you got free from that. Thank you again for your honesty and genuineness. God bless you Madi
Id have to say you are very very strong to put down that relationship even know you wanted to be married so bad. That takes so much strength!
Woah this randomly popped up. I remember Maddie when she was coming off the bachelor. It was when I got radically converted and encountered the lord. Still on a journey with him. Much respect for you Maddie! God bless you
Thank you Jesus for this. So grateful to have found you Madi!
Madi you are force to be reckoned with! Don’t stop hearing the lord and following his leading! By you listening to the lord, your blessing others! God has so much for YOUUUU! I’ve been following you since the bachelor!!! You’ve encouraged me so much! I’ve learned to be different and not follow the crowd, and your decisions on that show influenced me to do so! I found Jeanine’s podcast after following you, and I watch it every week, and I’m SOOOO THANKFUL YOU CREATED ONE! Your a wise women, and you continue to blossom while you do Gods work, and bring souls to Jesus! Love you girl, keep running the race strong, and don’t stop for anything or anyone!!
God bless you. Jesus had truly purposed you for a time as this. This definitely spoke to me and added to my salvation. Thank you for your obedience to Jesus that allowed him to move through you. I will be praying over this podcast & you!
Wow. Finding your podcast was like an answer to prayer. I am getting married in 2 months and am currently struggling so much with my inner peace because of all this pressure and decisions and opinions from all sorts of people that I have been constantly asking myself who I am, if this is all right and why it is so painful if it is supposed to be his will. Your words have given me so much encouragement and peace to take my heart and mind qoff the worldly stuff and shift my perspective to HIM again. Thank you!
Love this so much💖💗🕊️
Reading through these comments have me laughing because up until this point, I have only vaguely heard/seen Madison Prewett on the internet. So, when this video was recommended to me, my interest was sparked. I was not disappointed. This was very refreshing to hear because I, too, have let the words of others dictate my thought patterns, which inadvertently affected the way I acted; in addition, I am glad to know I am not alone. Moreover, the point Madison made about focusing on others rather than her own self is so essenitial to the Christian face as perspective is so important; without it, you will always feel down. If we are all being honest, we have so often been "me" focused, which is not the way God intended it. So, all in all, this was a good episode. Thanks for posting it, Madi 😄.
Brilliant 🙌 Praise God for your story
