Together, they dive into Riley's story of daring to live different, standing firm in her convictions, and refusing to stay silent even in the face of backlash and persecution. In a cultural and political climate where truth is often twisted, silence is celebrated, and standing for Biblical values can cost you everything, Riley and Madi unpack what it means to stay grounded in Christ. They discuss why courage is contagious, how to hold fast when culture pressures you to compromise, and the importance of finding your voice even when it feels risky. This conversation is a rallying cry for believers that truth is worth it, faith is worth it, and living boldly for Christ will always bear fruit no matter the cost. Always stay you and stay true! Questions/topics discussed and answered: • What gave Riley the courage to stand up when it would've been easier to stay silent? • How do we live faithfully in a culture that constantly pressures us to conform? • What does it look like to face backlash or persecution with truth and conviction? • Why does standing firm in Biblical truth matter now more than ever?
