Rebel Saints: Catholic Faith & Spiritual Growth

Rebel Saints is a Catholic podcast for restless hearts, for anyone who knows they were made for more and wants a deeper, real relationship with God.

I’m Nicole, a Catholic journalist, wife, and mom, and this podcast is where I live the faith out loud. Not perfectly, but honestly.

I started this because I was tired of treating faith like something to explain instead of something to actually live. As a journalist, I cover the Church, both the beautiful and the messy, but I wanted a space to go deeper. To wrestle with it, to grow in it, and to invite you into that journey with me.

When I first heard St. Augustine’s words, “our hearts are restless until they rest in You,” everything clicked. That restlessness isn’t a flaw. It’s a call.

Here, we lean into that call.

We talk about what it really looks like to follow Christ in today’s world, navigating doubt, searching for purpose, learning to trust God, and choosing a life that’s often counter-cultural.

If you’re tired of surface-level faith and ready for something real, you’re in the right place.

This isn’t about being a perfect saint. It’s about becoming one, one imperfect, honest step at a time.
