Live from the Abide Women's Conference 2026, we sit down with Sister Mary Madeline Todd of the Nashville Dominicans for a joyful conversation about vocation, identity, friendship with Jesus, and the transformative power of God's love.

Sister Mary Madeline shares the beautiful story behind her religious name, inspired by Saint Mary Magdalene, whose encounter with Christ became a witness to resurrection and hope. Together, we explore the significance of names in the Catholic tradition, the role of the saints in our lives, and how God calls each of us to become the person He created us to be.

We also dive into the Dominican charism of preaching and evangelization, discussing Saint Dominic's passion for helping people know God's truth and how that mission continues today through teaching, ministry, and joyful witness.

Whether you're discerning your vocation, seeking deeper friendship with Jesus, or simply looking for encouragement in your faith journey, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that Christ makes all things new.
