Our Story: how we knew we were the “one” for each other with Grant Troutt

This week, our host Madi is joined by a very special guest, her husband Grant Troutt.

They will share all of the behind-the-scene moments of newlywed life learning all of the big C’s: Conflict, Communication, and Community. Enjoy this week’s episode and as always- stay you, stay true!

I can't wait to sit with my husband on the couch like that and tell our story of how God brought us together ❤🙏

Love the story telling ♥️ Here's the time stamps for you guys: 3:30 what's your fav thing about me? 6:36 How did we meet 16:20 First date 24:33 Second date 31:16 What's your perspective of me and when did you know I was the one 43:56 Marriage advice

[@cameronp5817]

the way he looks at her is precious. Praying for this kind of love.

[@Dahlia_lilah]

I love this episode. Please do more episodes with him and maybe answers some q&a/ sharing your struggles and how you guys go through it together ( since nowadays on social media we often portrait relationships as a happiness life only- it's vulnerable to share hard times online). And maybe could you invite Jeanine in one of the next episodes? I'm currious to hear you guys' friendship story since you guys are super supportive of each other, and some funny interesting events when you guys were roommates 🤍♥️✨🥰

[@chocha3699]

I am going through a season of singleness right now and had to let go of a guy I thought I was going to end up with. It is encouraging for me to hear you and Grants testimony and how God has remained the center in both of your lives. It’s makes me realize to not settle and to make God the center of my life and my love. Thank you for this encouraging message

[@cameronp5817]

this video has been so sweet and special to me, going through a breakup but I have really been touched by the Lord. I truly think this season is for him to work in my heart and prepare me to be the woman of God he's called me to be. Hearing about the difficulties you experienced in the talking stage, dating, and now marriage is so encouraging and beautiful. It reminds us that with God a relationship can flourish and be worked on.

[@RebeccaL646]

thank you for the candor! Wishing you guys the best! and looking forward to future episodes.

I had randomly clicked on this video expecting to leave after 2 minutes, this has to be my favorite podcast episode I have EVER listened to. You gave me so much to take in and reflect on, you both are so inspiring TOGETHER, your words and conversations drew me to learn more about the Lord and His word. After listening to this I am walking away with so much valuable wisdom. Please do more episodes like this, my heart is so full! Thank you Maddie and Grant!

I totally agree with moving away from family the first couple years of marriage. It was the best thing for us and we grew as a couple.

[@JeanineAmapola]

Love yall❤❤

[@crystalmiller7112]

Beautiful! ♥️ May God continue to be in the center of your marriage.

[@KarenH8]

@@shahar26 I would totally accept going on a blind date that came from a mutual friend.🫶🏻

[@rds9872]

How ya doing? 😅

[@JoAnnEckfield-qi6ko]

You two are amazing! Madi you would be great as a host on a Christian talk show! You are so natural at it!

[@LillianTrump]

You both are so wonderful!! It's so inspiring to see you all love each other so much through Jesus! I recently got engaged and I am SO watching this again later with my fiancé. Your all's personalities line up almost perfectly with mine and my fiancé's, lol! Keep being you and keep doing what you're doing because you both are so incredible and are doing great things!💗

[@LawissaJoyce]

Listening to you both has made me feel so hopeful 🤍😭 such a beautiful godly couple!

[@shahar26]

Godly couples don't do blinde dates sis. 😅

[@irenemuthoni1505]

So good

[@79Jschoedinger]

What a beautiful marriage. God blessed you both with each other. It is very important to have the same faith and I never knew that until I married my husband. Unfortunately, my husband is not a believer and it shows in my relationship. I felt very apart from him and it has been very difficult because we are not in the same path. I pray to God that He helps me with my husband and turns him to him. Pray for me please. Amazing interview. By the way we have been married for 19 years, it has been great but I really want that He turns to God. It will be great since we have two kids that we are raising.

[@wishwilkinson]

I can’t wait for a Janeen and Caleb collab

[@jackiemyers4548]

Love you both ❤what a beautiful relationship

[@westonneubauer3844]

[@gailfuhlman71]

[@mikaylablackwood5286]

Oh wow, that is why we never reach self actualization huh, that verse is today's favorite for sure.

[@Sarah-sr8zw]

the drivers ed date SENT ME lol

[@pearlali136]

Beautiful couple, very godly , have to say I’m surprised that she went on “That show” she’s so much better than that. Congratulations Grant and Madi

[@taylorohlmann4984]

I was also surprised, but her recent podcast episode explained a lot. I encourage you to listen bc it made this episode that much more powerful. God is so evident in their story.

[@maliewatanabe2037]

The story at the end where Grant was sleeping just reminded me of when Jesus left his disciples to go pray and he came back to find them sleeping 😂

[@SC-ih6df]

😭😭

[@savannah.powerss]

stop you guys are so cute!

[@andreadesirees]

Literally crying on how beautiful your story is. It has given me hope that God knows what we need and He will provide it for us when the time comes, I´m still waiting for five years now on my special person, so thank you

[@shahar26]

You can't confirm that God provided that man for her. She just went on a blinde date.

[@dominikadudzik6433]

Yes, listening to clean Drizzy Drake and praying for him 🙌🙌🙌😃😍😂

[@h20chica79]

Madi, hes a lucky man ❤

[@dorcaskhank]

Love it but I think also give him enough time to speak❤️❤️❤️

more marriage advice!!

[@ijeomanwaigwe2863]

You two are awesome. Jesus is the answer to all our problems and any relationship that lays its foundation in Jesus will never fall . I pray that God will continue to guide you all through your marriage In Jesus Name. Amen.

[@sici780]

🎉🎉🎉

[@sarahsmith4992]

This episode gives me so much hope! God is so good. I can't wait for a relationship similar to this. Definitely praying for this!!!

[@shahar26]

That's so stupid to pray for something similar to what they have. They went on a blinde date. That's it. You need to pray for your own relationship praying according to the bible. Not everything you see on social media comes from God.

[@sarahsmith4992]

I think you missed the entire point of my comment! Anyways, wishing you the best lol.

[@tishwish15]

Your words and story are valuable but why so many ads? I’ve had like 10. Not being a hater❤

[@eaglea657]

I love how you love Jesus!❤❤❤

[@marynamakhoma5477]

❤❤❤❤

[@heirswithChrist8973]

What a special couple!God bless you and yours.I relate to Maddie on a few levels and I am also waiting for my husband. I am discouraged because I am over 30yo but I know God and His plans are not dependent on cultural norms.Please pray with me😊So happy you both met each other.

[@tishwish15]

34:56 lol 😂 so stupid Glad y’all can laugh it off now. Anxiety is horrible especially with social media.

[@melissacalderon1515]

I’m in a sticky situation where I honestly need help and advice on because I don’t know what to do or right decision but years ago 2020 God gave me word about specific person that told me going to be my husband, he ask me “would you be willing to wait if that’s the person I prepared you to be with” this happen in my quiet time with the lord is been years after that word god face me and recently this year I met a guy that I have amazing connection with that is a Christian that seems really genuine in his faith and we’re talking and it’s going great but I’m thinking about the word God gave me about someone else and it’s kind of wierd because am I belong disobedient or not following Gods plan because I’m talking to this guy now

[@roseroyaltyy]

Have you spoken to a wise pastor/mentor about the word you received to test it? That might help

[@lindabucaram298]

I have a question with no hate I love you Madi so much and I know you have a good reason but why you don’t have his last name ? As your main last name ?

[@user02408]

I always wonder this about “celebs” I think they worry about people not being able to find them on social media lol

[@gos_7630]

Very powerful God love story 🥹❤️ super encouraging!! Thank you! Madi can you do an episode about body image, modest, and how to find good health balance in that area? How to be Kingdom quality women in this world? I feel like a lot of women struggle with that. Hello from Poland 👋🇵🇱

[@shahar26]

Going on a blande date is not a God love story 😅.

[@katflowerStar]

💙 🩵🤍

[@PrettyInGrace]

nice podcast: if u guys like drake u should check out Jordan May: I like “I Found You” & “ Real Love” but In My Opinion, all of his songs that I’ve heard So far Speak Truth. LUV To you Guys✨🫶🏻

[@timinri1989]

3rd!

[@baileydimmick4798]

How do you long for Jesus and put Him first if your flesh simply doesn’t want to? Specifically speaking as someone who’s grown up in the church.

[@nataliedthomp]

Pray that your flesh wants to. And it will happen

[@emmasmith7590]

🤍🤍🤍

[@shahar26]

I still can't understand why they accepted to go on a blinde date. They call themselves "A godly Marriage". But where did they put God at that moment?. The worst thing is that many people feel "inspired" by this story and praying to have something similar. I mean, really? 😅🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ That's why it's so important to read the bible instead of trying to find God in a podcast. I had so much respect for this lady. But it still doesn't make sense to me. She would go to God for confirmation and wisdom in every area of her life and then she just suddenly agreed to go on a blinde date. I can see how "content" she was in her singlenees 😅🙄🤦‍♀️

[@ST-rj8iu]

So, God brings a person into your life and says, "I have someone you should meet" and this is ungodly to you? How? Where did you think she should meet someone? They are married so she was correct in agreeing to a date. A date is dinner and nothing else.

[@jesussprichtmitderlieblich7168]

Don’t be judgemental and be happy for her Jesus loves you and has a individual plan for your life

[@ashleymcelroy9088]

So good! 🥹 Thank y’all for being real + vulnerable and presenting how to navigate Godly marriage in a way that is true! 🩷

[@shahar26]

If you want to know how is a Godly marriage just read the bible. 🤦‍♀️ Not every thing you see on social media is Godly.
