Summary

Welcome back to the Dare to be True Series on Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi is joined by Riley Gaines Barker. She's an athlete, advocate, and bold voice for truth in today's world. 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?
AND SO MUCH MORE!

We only have one trophy.

0:04.6

So we're going to give this trophy to the man. How are you able to be so confident and sure of yourself when a moment comes like that? How can you live with yourself? That's what they told us. It was so hard to hear those things. And it left you in this moment of confusion. Am I not being kind? I can lay my head down at night with so much peace and joy knowing I've stood firm for what I believe in. So many people feel like they have to like walk on eggshells. Stop doing that. That's how we got to where we are, culturally speaking. What advice would you give to the listeners out there who want to stand firm but just don't know how? Like I found myself in violent situations. Like, that's the present suffering. But it pales in comparison when you know what you're fighting for. Overlooking sin and not speaking out against sin, just as much of a sin than actually committing the sin. He gets off the plane. And I hear that British that British accent. I was like, I'm so sorry.

1:47.6

mouth that I have been an inspiration to you is like beyond me because it's it's you who's been

1:53.0

an inspiration to me. I've watched you quietly for, I mean, for years and years and years long before

1:59.6

I ever found myself in a position of

of any sort of prominence or with the platform that I have. So to, I mean, to even hear you say

2:07.7
