Real talk free of all the “isms,” that keep you from a whole life with God.
Welcome to 'Unpolished Faith,' the podcast that carves out a safe space on the internet where women can authentically be themselves—the way God intended. Join international speaker and writer @madifranquiz as she fearlessly navigates the raw and unfiltered aspects of the Christian faith, empowering listeners to be real and ready for all God has in store.
The last four years in Madi’s life have been wild, filled with crazy twists and turns. The Lord showed up for her big time somewhere between obedience, hard knocks, and hard work. She has learned one lesson through her journey: God is not looking for perfect; He wants all of us just as we are. It's been a journey of surrender and discovery, realizing she is no longer about being perfect, polished, and performing for her worth. The liberating truth is that it's in our messiness where we encounter God's grace the most. From holding back due to the fear of imperfection to finally surrendering to God's plan, Madi's story exemplifies the transformative power of embracing our flaws and allowing God to work through them. And, now, she wants to share in this freedom with you.
Get ready for candid conversations, inspiring narratives, and practical insights that will challenge and transform your faith journey, encouraging you to live authentically. Each episode delves into the stories and experiences Christians sometimes shy away from—the struggles, doubts, and questions integral to living out our faith.
This won’t be a stuffy, “churchy,” one-sided conversation. Throughout the podcast, Madi invites friends, family, pastors, academics, theologians, authors, and everyone in between to join the conversation. Because, just like you, they are unpolished too.
This podcast exists to remind you that it's okay not to have it all together. We have someone who is perfect, so we don't have to be. So, if you're seeking hope, growth, meaning, and a deeper understanding of how the gospel can transform your life, 'Unpolished Faith' is for you. The invitation to live free is open! So, pull up a chair or turn up the radio in your car. Let’s uncover the woman you were created to be. Together, we'll discover that amid life's messiness, the real stuff is indeed the good stuff.
