Welcome back to The Rebel Saints Podcast — and if this is your first time here, you picked the right moment to jump in.

In this episode, Nicole shares a deeply personal and Spirit-led reflection on the election of Pope Leo XIV — the first American-born pope, a missionary, an Augustinian, and, perhaps most importantly, a quiet firestarter.

This isn’t just commentary on Church news. This is a holy reckoning — the kind that stirs hearts and reminds us why the Church is alive, roaring, and still moved by the breath of the Spirit.

Nicole breaks down the symbolism of Pope Leo’s first public moment, what his surprising background reveals, and why his presence is already echoing the legacy of St. John Paul II.
But more than that, she invites listeners to consider their own role in this unfolding story. Because the papacy isn’t just about one man — it’s about the Body of Christ rising to meet the moment.

For Catholics with restless hearts.
The Rebel Saints Podcast is where unfiltered faith meets real life — because being Catholic today is about as punk as it gets.
