Summary
Madison Ryann Ward sits down with Lecrae for one of the most vulnerable and powerful conversations yet on The Deep End. From going viral in college to signing with Rick Rubin, Madison opens up about the unexpected journey that took her from the top of the music industry to caring for the elderly and rediscovering her faith in the quiet.
She talks about battling anxiety, walking away from her deal, healing through solitude, and how God rebuilt her identity from the ground up. Plus, she sings a stunning unreleased track that you don't want to miss.
