KINGDOM CREATIVES SPOTLIGHT FEATURE
Today, we’re excited to spotlight Madison, a new talent signed to NA Management, and a true example of what it means to be a Kingdom Creative. With a strong faith in Christ, a passion for modeling, and a flourishing baking business, Golden Confections, Madison is paving the way for others to follow in faith-driven entrepreneurship. Her journey seamlessly blends the art of business with the world of fashion, as she transitions from a successful entrepreneur to a rising model. Madison’s story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and trust in God's perfect timing.
Faith & Personal Journey
Madison’s journey is deeply grounded in her faith. Her commitment to prayer and leaning on God’s understanding has guided her through the complexities of the fashion and business worlds. She shares, “Being faithful and praying in good and bad times… knowing that His plans for me are already drawn out and trusting them.” A transformative moment in her spiritual walk occurred when a new church opened in her city just as she was searching for a place to belong. This divine alignment deepened her faith, helping her combat anxiety and reminding her to trust in God's perfect timing, inspired by the scripture Isaiah 60:22: "When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen."
Modeling & Industry Experience
Madison’s modeling career officially took off in February 2024. Inspired by her grandmother’s encouragement, she began her journey at Bella Modeling School, where she not only gained essential skills but the confidence to excel in front of the camera. Madison’s first memorable experience was modeling for Shop Mieru, a brand dedicated to tall women’s fashion. Her 6-foot frame was the perfect fit, and this experience helped her understand the intricacies of brand marketing.
Joining NA Management in October 2024 was a turning point, as the agency’s faith-based foundation aligns with her values, allowing her to flourish both spiritually and professionally. "Having a team that actively seeks opportunities and communicates with clients is vital for my growth," she shares.
Entrepreneurship & Personal Growth
Madison is also the proud founder of Golden Confections, a home-based baking business. What started as a passion quickly became a successful venture. With the support of her family and faith, she obtained her food handler's license and continues to grow her business. Managing her modeling career, business, school, and content creation takes discipline, but Madison remains focused on her goals, saying,
“Showing up for myself, getting ready, coming up with content ideas, doing research… it’s all part of the journey.”
Health, Wellness & Lifestyle
Health and wellness play a key role in Madison’s overall well-being. Pilates, in particular, has become a cherished form of self-care, helping her feel happier and more confident. “It helps me feel good knowing I am taking care of my body,” she says.
Q&A Segment
How has your faith in Christ influenced your journey as a model and entrepreneur?"My faith in Christ helps me stay motivated in my endeavors as a model and entrepreneur. Being faithful and praying in good and bad times. Learning not to lean only on my own understanding, but God's. Aware that His plans for me are already drawn out and trusting them."
You mentioned feeling closer to God than ever—what pivotal moments deepened your faith?"A new church opened in my city in August of last year, while I was actively searching for a church to start consistently attending. So I believe the timing was perfect. I started attending on Sundays, going to youth groups, and involving myself more with the church community. That really motivated me to get into my Bible and pray every day."
What Bible verse or principle guides you in your career and daily life?"Isaiah 60:22 is a verse that feels really close to my heart as someone who has struggled with anxiety. Being confident and believing in God's timing, and knowing that His timing is right helps to ground me in those times of worry."
What inspired you to officially launch your modeling career in February 2024?"My grandma had actually sent me some information about a modeling school in January of 2024. Then I started researching modeling schools near me. I ended up choosing Bella Modeling School, and my career started then!"
How has your training at Bella Modeling School shaped your confidence and skills?"My training at Bella helped me gain knowledge in all aspects of modeling. With that knowledge, I gained confidence knowing that when I go to a modeling job, I have skills to help me be successful. The teachers at Bella were always encouraging and positive in classes, which allowed me to have a great experience."
What has been your most memorable modeling experience so far?"To date, my most memorable modeling job was working with Shop Mieru. I worked with them on two separate occasions. It was so nice to meet the owner and see how she markets her brand that is specifically made for tall girls. The owner approached me with the opportunity while I was out shopping. Being 6 feet tall, she thought that I was a perfect fit to model for her clothing brand."
How has signing with NA Management, a faith-based agency, impacted your career?"Although I just signed with NA last October, recognizing I have a team that is actively seeking opportunities and helping me communicate with clients is important for developing my modeling career."
How would you describe your personal style and approach to fashion?"My personal style is a mix of current fashion trends, street style, and casual/comfy pieces. But my style is constantly changing based on the weather and season. I also try to have a sustainable approach to fashion as much as I can. I go thrifting and purchase staple pieces I know I will wear many times."
What inspired you to start Golden Confections, and what has the journey been like?"I was always inspired to have my own business after my dad owns his own landscape design business. Baking was something that I always found joy in. I have learned a lot, I got my food handler license, and I did lots of research before officially starting. Having parents who always encourage and support me makes all the difference. Through family spreading the word and posting on social media, I have amazing repeat customers."
How do you balance modeling, business, school, and content creation?"Having discipline is really important, knowing there's things to get done even if I may not want to do it at the time. Showing up for myself, getting ready, coming up with content ideas, doing research. But also having parents who help get me to modeling jobs and give me advice and words of motivation."
What challenges have you faced as a young entrepreneur, and how have you overcome them?"I have faced challenges on how to market my business and myself as a model. I chose to step outside of my comfort zone and start utilizing social media. I also had to learn patience and dedication. Even though I had some late nights fulfilling all the orders, it is always a priority to come through and deliver to my customers. I dedicate myself to baking it with love and appreciation of their business."
How does your commitment to a healthy lifestyle support your modeling and business?"Living a healthy lifestyle helps me mentally and physically feel better. So I am naturally more positive and motivated on my goals whether it be my business, schoolwork, or modeling."
What role does Pilates play in your confidence and overall well-being?"Pilates is really a form of self-care for me. I never feel forced or overly stressed to do it, it's a workout I really enjoy. I notice when I am consistent, I feel more inspired and driven to achieve my goals. Overall, it helps me feel happier and confident knowing that I am taking care of my body."
What advice would you give to young women of faith pursuing modeling or entrepreneurship?"I would encourage other young women of faith to stay consistent in their relationship with God. Pray every day, if it matters to you, it matters to God. Do not give up and keep going, God's timing is perfect. Opportunities will work out for you if they are meant to be."
