What happens when you invite God into the arena — and let Him take control?

In Episode 6 of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with University of Georgia equestrian and national champion Madi Hill for an honest conversation about anxiety, faith, and finding peace in surrender. From discovering her love for riding at nine years old to competing at the collegiate level, Madi opens up about how losing her mom at a young age shaped her faith journey — and how college became the season where she truly let God in.

Together, Brooke and Madi explore how faith offers balance in high-pressure environments, how vulnerability can strengthen team relationships, and why expressing belief out loud can inspire others to do the same. This heartfelt conversation reminds listeners that confidence doesn’t come from control — it comes from trust.

Listeners will walk away with insight on grounding themselves through spirituality, finding peace amid performance, and pursuing excellence without losing sight of purpose.

Key moments:

• Madi’s early love for horses and path to collegiate equestrian
• Overcoming anxiety and learning to surrender control
• Finding peace through prayer and daily scripture
• Building authentic relationships through faith
• The courage to share belief and plant seeds in others
