Who Is Truth? Finding Freedom When Everything Feels Unsteady w/ Madi Prewett Troutt

It used to be simple to assume that what you saw was real. Now it’s possible to scroll, watch something moving and dramatic, and then discover it wasn’t real at all. In a world where deception is easier than ever, the question beneath the surface becomes: What can be trusted?

In this episode, Candace Cameron Bure and Madi Prewett Troutt talk about truth that doesn’t shift with culture, feelings, or trends. They return again and again to the words of Jesus: truth is not merely a concept to debate but is a person to know.

Candace and Madi unpack the cultural messaging of “your truth” and why it often leads to confusion instead of freedom. They also discuss discernment in everyday life: what people take in, what shapes their thinking, and how the Holy Spirit trains the conscience over time.

Two listener questions anchor the conversation. First, Megan asks what to do when a middle school-aged child doesn’t want to be involved in church anymore. Candace encourages parents to start on their knees in prayer, to stay consistent, and to remember that seasons of resistance aren’t the end of the story. Madi adds the importance of modeling faith and praying with endurance.

Then Gabby, a Christian college student at a public university, shares the pressure of feeling like she’s not “Christian enough.” Candace and Madi remind listeners that salvation isn’t earned - it’s received. From there, they offer practical wisdom: stay rooted in Scripture, build a real prayer life, pursue godly community, and listen when conviction arises.

If listeners want to go deeper, Candace points them to the free Dare To Be True guide for practical encouragement, and invites them into the Together community at candace.com/together.
