Holy Rebels Podcast
The Holy Rebels Podcast is for spiritually literate, psychologically aware seekers who want a mature, grounded relationship with God.
Hosted by Nina Hirlaender, Franciscan Sister and mystical theology teacher, this show pulls the Western mystical tradition off the shelf and into the daily grind, with more grace and less spinning.
Each episode blends vivid storytelling with practical formation, so your spiritual life feels alive, connected, and unmistakably real. You will meet mystics like Mary Magdalene, Francis of Assisi, and Teresa of Avila, not as saints on pedestals, but as wise companions for real life.
Expect practices that sharpen discernment, strengthen intuition you can trust, and bring steadier decisions, deeper prayer, and more peace that holds up under pressure.
No fluff, plenty of heart.

Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit: The First Beatitude's Call For Ultimate Surrender
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode challenges societal norms by questioning our widely accepted definitions of wealth and success. It dives deep into the first Beatitude—"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"—unraveling its profound implications on personal and spiritual growth.
As we dive into this conversation, we begin to understand that true wealth is not measured by material possessions, but by our capacity to appreciate simplicity, embrace vulnerability, and embody humility. It's about recognizing our interconnectedness and interdependence with the world around us, rather than striving for isolated success.
In this episode, Nina shares a personal story of an encounter with a rose bush, illustrating the transformative power of humility and gratitude. She invites us to show our "soft belly," to open ourselves up to the world, and to experience the richness of being an integral part of the whole.
Immerse yourself in this enriching conversation about the first of the Beatitudes: 8 Keys to Happiness. Stay tuned for our next episode where we delve into the intense, comforting promise of the second Beatitude—your journey through these enlightening teachings has just begun!
