Rebel Saints: A Catholic Podcast for Restless Hearts
Rebel Saints
There is nothing more punk than Catholicism.
Rebel Saints is a Catholic podcast for restless hearts trying to follow Jesus in an age of algorithms, anxiety, artificial intelligence, and endless scrolling.
St. Augustine wrote,
"Our hearts are restless until they rest in You."
Sixteen hundred years later, we're still restless, we just have smartphones now. This show is for cradle Catholics, converts, skeptics, seekers, and anyone wondering whether an ancient Church still has something to say to a modern world.
Spoiler alert: She does.

Discover what it really means to live the Catholic faith with courage and joy in a chaotic world.
Hosted by Catholic journalist, youth minister, and mother Nicole Olea, Rebel Saints offers the perspective of a laywoman covering the Church from the inside while living the beautifully ordinary, gloriously imperfect reality of Catholic life. Through thoughtful interviews, compelling storytelling, Church history, Scripture, and the lives of the saints, Nicole tackles the hard questions we're all asking right now.
The Church has outlived empires, revolutions, and pandemics. She isn't afraid of modernity. This isn't a podcast for people who have it all figured out. It’s for people searching for something truer than another life hack, louder than another hot take, or fake headline.
Because maybe the most rebellious thing you can do isn't reinvent yourself. Maybe it's becoming the saint you were created to be.
