I was honored to interview Mari Madrid (choreographer, dancer, creative and wife to Keone) who is a strong woman of God with a beautiful heart. She has a passionate desire to use her craft to create beauty and draw others to God.

Dear God,
I listened to Britt Nicole’s “Still That Girl” and I couldn’t help but break down. It’s like she wrote that song for me. I totally relate to how “dreams may change” and “plans may fail,” and how once upon a time, Britt believed she could be the girl “shining in the dark,“ the bright-eyed girl who truly believed she could change the world.
I’m thinking about ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and its different portrayals of femininity.

Sorry Ashley, I’m still rooting for Jemi. Come on, @JoeJonas, now’s the time your self-declared “best friend” needs you most.
“Give a Little” By Hanson on Shout it Out (2010)
When she walked in, with her painted lips
Did she tease you for your flirty quips?
Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen?
You gotta show her why she can’t resist
Make her blush when you put your hand on her hips
She’s gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing
So wrap your arms around her body
Tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh ooh.
Give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
You gotta show her, when she can’t decide
You gotta hold her, with that look in your eyes
When you move in close, take your time
Lave an empty shoulder, let her move in closer
And wrap your arms around her body
Tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh ooh.
Give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
She love to keep you in suspense, but you know she just wants to dance
Give a little heart and soul
Let her body lose control
Give a little oh oh ooh
Just give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
“Why are you looking for love? / Why are you still searching as if I’m not enough? / To where will you go, child? / Tell me where will you run, to where will you run?”
Love Story - Anastasia & Dimitri
She was a girl afraid to admit her own potential. He was a boy who never thought he could measure up to be someone she deserved. Together they make up my absolute favorite animated couple.
P.S. They’re not even Disney. ;)
One of my favorite love songs.
“So In Need” By Vineyard (Sheri Carr)
With a broken heart I come to stand before You
I’m so in need of a comforting word
I’m feeling lost and I’m tired of feeling empty
I’m so in need of You
I’m so in need of You
Chorus:
Now I’m holding on to the One that gives me hope
Jesus, how I need You
Oh, this stirring in my soul, it just won’t let me go
Because I know I’m so in need of You
When it’s hard to trust, and the fear wells up within me
I’m so in need of a comforting word
I need Your love and Your presence all around me
I’m so in need of You
I’m so in need of You
No matter how I try I could never live without You
Forgive me for thinking I could make it on my own, on my own

Welcome! I’m Marilette, a New Yorker passionate about finding the connections between God, relationships, and pop culture. I’m wife to Moses, a homeschooling mom to five young children, and a full-time missionary with FamilyLife. Since I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 in 2020, I have shared openly about my mental health journey.
I believe there is more to the Christian life than hypocrisy and more to pop culture than shallow art. I frequently contribute to ThinkChristian, an online magazine publishing pop culture commentary from a Christian worldview.
I co-founded an online apparel company to raise awareness for mental health issues in the church and communities of color.
