We’re sharing our third and final talk from Girls Night 2023 at First Baptist Dallas, this time featuring bestselling author and speaker, Madison Prewett Troutt! Madi has been on the podcast a few times now, but you’ve never heard her like this. During her time on stage Madi challenged each one of us to rise up and be the royals God is calling us to be.

But how do we rise up? Especially in a world as turbulent as the one we’re living in right now? Drawing on the story of Esther, Madi highlights three practical ways we can all rise up for Jesus right where we’re at today: by relying on God’s strength and spirit, by surrounding ourselves with godly people, and by choosing to fight the true enemy, not each other. All throughout her time, Madi candidly shared stories from her own life where she was challenged to rise to the moment and choose to depend on God—from seasons of loneliness in college to staying true to her faith in front of millions on reality TV. Like Esther’s story, Madi’s hasn’t always been a smooth road, but she hopes what she’s been through can be an encouragement to all the women and girls (and really anyone!) who desires to stand firm for Jesus in an unstable world.

Unsure how to rise up and claim your identity as a royal in God’s eyes? Madi’s message is exactly what you need to hear today! Connect with Madi through her Instagram, and stay up to date with all First Baptist Dallas events on their website.
