Madison Prewett is opening up about her week after publicly discussing her purity beliefs — and how she is getting past perceived hardships.
“Thank you, Jesus. The past couple days have been unexplainable,” Prewett, 29, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 29. “Repentance. Confessions. Freedom. Worship. So thankful for @tonyaprew @unite_us.”
The Bachelor Nation alum uploaded a photo of her mother, Tonya, speaking at the annual Unite Student Leadership Gathering. Prewett’s husband, Grant Troutt, later spoke during the church service.
“[I am] getting to learn from the best Bible teacher I know,” she wrote. “@Grant_Troutt is always my favorite.”
Prewett and Troutt, 29, have been married since 2022, deciding to wait to have sex until after they tied the knot. The pair, who welcomed daughter Hosanna in January, have since passionately shared their beliefs about religion and modesty.
Prewett recently opened up about navigating “sexual sin” on her eponymous podcast.
“We’re going to tie in why purity matters to God, why holiness matters to God, why that’s a call for the children of God,” she said on the Monday, June 23, episode of her “Stay True” podcast, claiming that she struggled with the topic for many years. “Thankfully, by the grace of God and by the power of Godly community and people around me, I have been free from porn and masturbation for — I don’t even know — 10 years, but that was something that enslaved me and marked me for so long.”
She added, “No matter how much I loved Jesus, I could not shake that sin. I could not break free from porn and masturbation.”
According to Prewett, she used to watch a lot of TV shows that featured characters hooking up and having sex.
“I had already had moments of being curious about things and having certain feelings or wondering certain things or fantasizing about certain things. I had not told that to anyone,” she recalled on Monday’s episode. “I had not pursued to do anything about that, but I was curious, and I was about 13 years old. I went over to a friend’s house and her parents weren’t around, and she turned on this show that was extremely inappropriate.”
From there, Prewett said that she “started feeling things that I had never felt before” and experienced “desire” that ultimately made her feel embarrassed.
“Anytime you live in secret, it’s only going to create more sin and it’s only going to create more shame because that’s where the enemy thrives,” she said. “I was not able to break free until I brought other people into it, until I stopped letting the enemy run my life with living in secrecy and living in isolation.”
