Madi Carey: Life's "Flash Moments": Theater, Healing, and Faith

Today Matt sits down with Madi to trace five “flash” moments that shaped her life and joy: a lively blended family, an all-in high-school theater journey, recovering from a traumatic brain injury by relearning memory through movement, walking through the college columns against the odds, and the simple, perfect giggle of her son, Cal.

We talk about how theater became both craft and refuge, the serendipity of a blind-date love story with her now-husband Tanner, and why seeing life as a narrative (not just episodes) helps her find meaning in the mundane. Madi shares how faith frames her past and future, trusting the Author even when a chapter is hard, so she can live the present with gratitude and delight.

If you need a gentle reminder that resilience, community, and a hopeful story can coexist, this one’s for you.
