  • Summary

  • Welcome, friend! Unpolished Faith is a space of belonging for Christian women who feel out of place. The REAL you belongs here. We are carving out a space on the internet that’s raw and real—free from all the "isms" that hold you back from a whole life with God. This isn’t the perfect, polished podcast you often find in Christian women's circles. Join international speaker and writer @madifranquiz as she fearlessly navigates the raw and unfiltered aspects of the Christian faith. From singleness to mental health, politics, and everyday Christian life, we have authentic conversations, diving into topics that matter deeply but aren't always discussed openly. Yeah, it’s unpolished. But that’s kind of the point. The last four years in Madi’s life have been wild, filled with crazy twists and turns. The Lord showed up for her 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 and encourage 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 reminds 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.

    Should Christians Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence? | Dr. Sandra Reid
    Sep 26 2024

    "I don't want to stand before the Lord one day and say 'I didn't stand for You because it was too hard or I was too scared," - Dr. Sandra Reid.

    Hello friends! Welcome to another week at Unpolished Faith. Today, one of my college professors, mentors, and dear friends will join the show to help us answer the question, "Should Christians be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?" If you have looked around and thought, "This tech sure feels Mark of the Beasty," this episode is for you.

    You will find this conversation to be a beautiful reminder of a believer's responsibility to stand for righteousness even as the days get darker. Thanks for downloading and sharing with a friend :)

    How Should I Disciple My Kids? | Dr. Mike Goddard
    Sep 19 2024

    Hello friends! In this episode of Unpolished Faith, my long-time mentor and friend, Dr. Mike Goddard, and I dive into an important conversation for every parent—or future parent— about raising and discipling children. My mother often lamented growing up that there was no guidebook to raising children. If you've felt this way, today's episode if for you!

    Whether you have children or not, nurturing a Christ-centered worldview in the next generation is something we can all take part in. Join us as we discuss practical ways to guide kids in navigating today’s world, strengthen their faith, and build a foundation rooted in biblical truth.
