Dare to Be True

Defeat the Lies That Bind You and Live Out the Truth That Frees You

By: Madison Prewett Troutt, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda - introduction

Narrated by: Madison Prewett Troutt

A call for truth and freedom in a culture saturated with false information and deceit, from the bestselling author of The Love Everybody Wants.

“Madison Prewett Troutt’s vulnerability and boldness make you feel like you are sitting down with a big sister who loves you too much to let you stay stuck.”—Arielle Reitsma, co-host of the Girls Gone Bible podcast and co-author of Out of the Wilderness

Are you tired of the noise, the lies, the pressure to be someone you’re not? You wear the smile. You play the part. But you’re caught in the exhausting cycle of pretending and performing. You chase the version of freedom the world promised would satisfy. And yet, you’re still not free.

The lies we believe—about ourselves, our worth, and what will truly make us whole—keep us bound in invisible chains. But there is a way out.

Madison Prewett Troutt invites you to confront the lies that are holding you hostage and to step boldly into the life you were created to live—a life anchored in truth that leads to a freer you. Dare to Be True is real talk from Madison’s own life lessons and experiences that will help you:

• call out the lies that keep you stuck and small
• silence the noise of culture and tune into God’s truth
• stop spiraling in sin, shame, and isolation, and receive grace
• step into your purpose with clarity and without apology

This isn’t just a book about recognizing what’s wrong. It’s an invitation to step into the abundant life you were made for. With interactive challenges at the end of each chapter—Truths for You and Dares to Do—you’ll be pushed, encouraged, and equipped to live with boldness, purpose, and freedom.

Fake freedom will leave you empty.

But real freedom? The kind your soul has been craving?

That starts when you dare to be true.

The word we need

So thankful for Madi’s obedience and vulnerability and sharing her story. Got to hear her preach at Way earlier this year and this story expands on all her points beautifully. Sin is serious. And our Heavenly Father seriously loves us and wants to help us to break free from its chains.

must read

I listen on my drives to and from work and it brings me absolute peace. The story always makes me want to further my relationship with God and is a great introduction to finding some self reflection. A huge fan of Madis books.

Truly AMAZING

Man, I don’t have enough words to say how great this book is. I am going to reread with my hard copy and underline, highlight words because it had so much hope, truth, wisdom!!! I’m inspired and moved to live and stay true to my race with Jesus.
