Rebel Saints - Faith without the filter
The saints weren’t tame. Neither are we. “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” — St. Augustine Our hearts are still restless — and in a world chasing distraction, comfort, and self-made truth, choosing to be Catholic isn’t just different… it’s rebellious. The Rebel Saints Podcast is for people who believe the Church is true, even when it’s hard — and maybe especially when it’s not cool. This show is a space for restless souls who aren’t here to blend in, but to burn bright. We talk saints, culture, doctrine, silence, scandal, beauty, grit — all of it. Because believing in grace, sacrifice, and truth with a capital T in 2025? That’s punk. If you’ve ever felt like a faithful misfit — welcome. You’re not behind. You’re built for this. Because restless hearts were never meant to settle — and being Catholic is as punk as it gets. Tune in and join the conversation!
