Defeat the Lies That Bind You and Live Out the Truth That Frees You

A call for truth and freedom in a culture saturated with false information and deceit, from the bestselling author of The Love Everybody Wants.

“Madison Prewett Troutt’s vulnerability and boldness make you feel like you are sitting down with a big sister who loves you too much to let you stay stuck.”—Arielle Reitsma, co-host of the Girls Gone Bible podcast and co-author of Out of the Wilderness

Are you tired of the noise, the lies, the pressure to be someone you’re not? You wear the smile. You play the part. But you’re caught in the exhausting cycle of pretending and performing. You chase the version of freedom the world promised would satisfy. And yet, you’re still not free.

The lies we believe—about ourselves, our worth, and what will truly make us whole—keep us bound in invisible chains. But there is a way out.

Madison Prewett Troutt invites you to confront the lies that are holding you hostage and to step boldly into the life you were created to live—a life anchored in truth that leads to a freer you. Dare to Be True is real talk from Madison’s own life lessons and experiences that will help you:

• call out the lies that keep you stuck and small
• silence the noise of culture and tune into God’s truth
• stop spiraling in sin, shame, and isolation, and receive grace
• step into your purpose with clarity and without apology

This isn’t just a book about recognizing what’s wrong. It’s an invitation to step into the abundant life you were made for. With interactive challenges at the end of each chapter—Truths for You and Dares to Do—you’ll be pushed, encouraged, and equipped to live with boldness, purpose, and freedom.

Fake freedom will leave you empty.

But real freedom? The kind your soul has been craving?

That starts when you dare to be true.

Dare to Be True

Dare to Be True is beautifully written. Madi’s heart for the Lord and her love for others is clear, and I felt my own love for Jesus growing as I listened to this book. I pray that many will find this book, listen to it with open hearts, and commit to following Jesus with everything they’ve got.

Truly AMAZING

Man, I don’t have enough words to say how great this book is. I am going to reread with my hard copy and underline, highlight words because it had so much hope, truth, wisdom!!! I’m inspired and moved to live and stay true to my race with Jesus.

So convicting!!

It’s so raw so true so honest. And convicting!! So so good. My favorite book of hers.

Scripture

My favorite thing about this book was that it was jam packed with bible scripture. ♥️

Lukewarm to On-Fire Believers Guide for Young Women

Madi uses smart analogies and personal anecdotes to point us back to the beautiful simplicity of the Gospel. I’m impressed by how precisely she communicates and appreciate how the book is set up. It’s broken into truths (or lies of the enemy), and dares (practical next steps), so it’s a lot like a guide book.

Enough with the fluffy devotionals that lack the call to repentance for women. Madi doesn’t hold back and speaks boldly without apology. She uses scripture as the centerpiece for chapters and not as an afterthought.

I love that she truly walks the walk — a consistent, trustworthy Christian voice for women especially. Even if you’re a more seasoned believer, this book will help you navigate tough discussions on sin, salvation, and redemption with others. The truth about eternity was probably my favorite chapter. Loved this book and want to hear more from her!

This book calls you out in a truthful and loving way

Genuinely the best book I’ve ever read!!! So in depth and makes you self reflect in ways you never have before.

A Great Listen and Read

I loved everything about the book and the stories. My favorite Chapter was 4 but I loved how the cultural truths were debunked with God’s truth. Thank you Madison and showing us how to truly live it out and setting ourselves apart from the world.
