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.

Nicole is back — not with a rebrand exactly, but something more like a pivot.
The Rebel Saints Podcast is no longer just for teens — it’s for anyone swimming upstream in a culture that doesn't understand why you still care about things like grace, sacrifice, and truth. It’s for Catholics (and maybe the Catholic-curious) who are trying to live an ancient faith in the middle of our contemporary world.
Expect stories, hard questions, strange saints, and the messiness of trying to be holy without pretending it’s easy.
