Former “The Bachelor” star Madison Prewett Troutt, also known as “Madi Prew,” recently shared with a Christian program the importance of choosing purity in one’s life.

Why Purity Matters By Madi Prew

Madi Prew gained recognition in 2020 when she participated in Season 24 of the reality show “The Bachelor.” She ultimately finished as a runner-up. Since her time on the show, she has authored a Christian book and utilized her social media platforms to spread the message of Jesus to her audience. She has now amassed 1.8 million followers on Instagram and 2.2 million followers on TikTok. As an influencer, she remains committed to sharing God’s love with her followers.

During an interview with CBN, Madi shared her profound insights about the topic of purity and the value it holds. The host asked, “What would you say to somebody who is trying to live a pure life or returning back to purity? What kind of boundaries would you offer or advice would you offer them?”

Know Your Why

In her response, Madi emphasized the importance of “knowing your why.” She then shared her journey in choosing purity for the past several years as an example. Apparently, it was God’s word that sustained her.

“For me, it was so important for me to know I’m choosing purity because God’s word literally says ‘blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God,’” she said. “Purity leads me to be at a place where I can see God clearly, I can know Him in an intimate way.”

Freedom

God has always been Madi’s goal in life. Hence, she desired God’s will in her life more than anything. As a result, she experienced freedom.

“I want God’s best for my life and I wanna see God,” she said. “And I want God in my life, in my relationship. I’ve been able to see purity gives way more than maybe what the world would say it takes away. Actually pursuing purity is what leads to freedom.

Further, Madi also revealed her imperfect moments in pursuing purity. She admitted how “it led to shame and confusion.” Moreover, it took away her confidence in Christ. Hence, she realized living in it truly gives confidence to a person.

“And so, pursuing purity has been able to give me that confidence of like ‘I know who I am in Christ.’” She remarked. “And that has been my why. And so in moments where it’s been hard, I go back to that why.”

In her caption, Madi encouraged her followers: “No matter what your past looks like, this is a decision you can make from this day forward.”

How The Bachelor Finalist Madison Prewett Stood For Her Faith & Purity To The End

by Christel Berns December 2, 2021

written by Christel Berns

The Bachelor finalist Madison Prewett reveals how she stood for her faith and purity amidst the pressure the show had put on her.

Getting Onto The Bachelor

Madison Prewett grew up in a solid Christian home. As a teenager, she was a church leader and had dated a pastor. Back then, Madison pictured herself marrying a pastor, planting a church, having many kids, and going on annual mission trips as a family. She could also see herself moving overseas and starting an orphanage with her family. Until one day, God did something incredible that put a plot twist in her life.

The Bachelor called Madison as one of the participants in the show for Season 24. She even felt confused after receiving the call because she didn’t apply or watch the show. Hence, she hung up the call because she wasn’t interested at all. Then when she called her mom expecting to tell her “No,” surprisingly, she told her, “Never close the door until you take time to pray about it.”

Praying

As a result, Madison prayed with her family for a few months for God’s leading about the decision she would make.

“Sometimes, God calls us to step out of the boat. And I was just ready for whatever God has,” the Bachelor finalist remarked.

Before embarking on the show and going out of her comfort zone, Madison prayed hard. She prayed that she would stay true to herself, to stand firm in her beliefs, values, and convictions even without the presence of her family and church. Thus, throughout the show, Madison revealed how she relied more on the Holy Spirit. As a result, she stood upon her faith and purity till the end despite the pressure the whole show had put on her.

Ben Higgins Shares How God Revealed His Purpose Through ‘The Bachelor’

by Rhoda Gayle February 4, 2021

written by Rhoda Gayle

TV personality Ben Higgins shared how God revealed His purpose for him through the popular show “The Bachelor” which he starred in in 2016.

Ben Higgins

When Ben Higgins was announced to star in ABC’s “The Bachelor” season 20, his friends prayed for him. They prayed that God would use his time on the reality TV show to help him do something significant in his life. Today, five years later, Ben has now clearly seen God’s answer to his friends’ prayers.

The 31-year-old TV personality shared how God humbled him through the reality show.

“He was humbling me, a lot,” Ben admitted in an interview with The Christian Post. “It’s funny that ‘The Bachelor’ took that, but … you live in this temporary fame for a bit, and you realize that fame isn’t fulfilling, it’s fleeting, and relevancy is an ambition not worth pursuing because it’s exhausting. There’s never a point in time where you feel like you’re relevant enough.”

The Bachelor

Apart from humbling him, his time in the show also showed him what God’s purpose is for his life.

“God was [saying], ‘The Bachelor’ can be a great platform, but it’s not the end thing — you have to use this to point toward Me,’” he continued. “And as I did that and started to use the platform to talk to people in a way that I thought loved them better, or pointed them to a God that loves them more, or worked with people fighting injustice, it all started to make more sense. It all started to be more fun and … fulfilling. It all started to make my soul more at peace.”

Purpose

Recently, Ben released his new memoir, “Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You’re Seen but Not Known”. In it, he shared his past struggles and pain in life to help others overcome their hardships.

“We all have pains,” he said. “We all have suffering, so right there, we’re not alone, because everybody’s experienced that at some level.”

by Rhoda Gayle March 13, 2020

written by Rhoda Gayle

Pop-star Justin Bieber revealed on national television that he spotted the “Bachelor” Peter Weber at Hillsong Church after reuniting with Christian contestant, Madison Prewett.

The Bachelor Peter Weber

Season 24 of “The Bachelor” ended with Peter Weber proposing to the final contestant Hannah Ann Sluss. But the season finale took a huge turn when Peter broke the engagement weeks later to pursue a relationship with Madison Prewett.

Madison is a former contestant of the show who shared with Peter about her Christian faith and her views on sex in a one-on-one date with him. The confession took the internet by storm and Peter’s family eventually chased her off.

Peter’s family told Madison that their lifestyles are very different and that he was a party guy. They also thought that her religious views would change him and that they won’t work out as a couple.

“He’s going to have to fail to succeed. That’s it. All his friends, all his family, everyone that knows him knows that it’s not going to work. So we’ve been trying to help them,” Barbara Weber, Peter’s mother, stated.

Justin Bieber

On “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Christian pop-star Justin Bieber revealed to guest host Demi Lovato that he saw the Bachelor at the Church they attend. Both Justin and Demi attend the same Church, the Hillsong Church, and they both are open about their Christian faith.

“We watch ‘The Bachelor,’” Bieber told Lovato. “[Peter] was at church the other night …I went up to him and I was like, ‘I feel like I know you.’”

“The Bachelor” contestant boldly professed her Christian faith on national television and revealed that she’s saving sex for marriage.

Madison Prewett was raised in a devout Christian family, and her father, Chad, set the standard for biblical living in their family. The 23-year-old “The Bachelor” contestant has had a personal relationship with the Lord and went to a seminary school for college.

“I look up to my dad so much, and I’ve said I wanted someone who will remind me of my dad, somebody who embodies the same qualities and characteristics,” Madison said on national television. “I’ve watched the way my dad has loved my mom and loved my family and the way that he has such a strong relationship with the Lord is the way he’s able to love our family so well.”

Madison Prewett professed faith

Madison boldly shared her faith while on a date with Peter Weber in the most recent episode. Bachelor Peter then responded that he was also raised in a Christian family. He also shared that faith was also important to him.

“Faith is more just this passed-down thing to me. It’s literally my whole life and all of who I am,” she continues. “I want, in a marriage, someone who also has that relationship with the Lord and loves that about me and wants to raise a family in that way. And I do want to know that we’re able to be on the same page. And push each other in that way and grow in that way together.”

Saving sex for marriage

In the next episode of “The Bachelor,” Madison revealed that she’s saving sex for marriage because of her fiath. However, Peter, who admits that his faith could be stronger, might not share her same view on purity.
