“I got baptized today! 🩵,” Maddie declared in her update.
“At 7 years old I wanted to ‘give my life to Christ’ but I didn’t truly understand what that meant,” she explained. “After I prayed the prayer and was baptized, my Bible collected dust, and at 18 I realized I had never truly started following Him.”
For the featured video, a pastor helped baptize her as she plugged her nose and was dunked under the water. Maddie also included pictures of her and Jason posing together at the church.
In her post, Maddie shared a lengthy recap of her religious experience, ending with a bold declaration: “I no longer am walking in fear but in confidence.”
