What does it mean to be a rebel saint?
In the very first episode of The Rebel Saint Podcast, Sister Abigail Hester shares the vision behind the podcast and explains why following Jesus has always been a radical act of love, compassion, and holy resistance.
Drawing from Franciscan spirituality, progressive Christianity, and modern biblical scholarship, Sister Abigail explores what it means to follow the poor, queer, and crucified Christ in today’s world. This is an invitation for seekers, question-askers, and anyone longing for a faith rooted in justice rather than judgment.
Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or simply curious about a different way of following Jesus, there’s a place for you here.
In this episode:
- What “The Rebel Saint” means
- Why Jesus was a holy troublemaker
- The vision behind the Order of Franciscan Clareans
- Why compassion is the heart of authentic Christianity
- What you can expect from future episodes
Welcome to the conversation.
Live simply. Love boldly. Resist empire.
