A Nun's Life Ministry helps people discover and grow in their vocation, that is, their life's calling by engaging questions about God, faith, and religious life.
The A Nun's Life Ministry podcast is a hidden gem in the world of podcasts. I stumbled upon it by chance and it has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. Each episode is filled with insightful discussions, laughter, and tears, making it the perfect companion for daily activities such as scrubbing floors, driving, or cooking. The hosts, Sisters Julie and Maxine, have a natural ability to connect with their audience and their genuine passion for their ministry shines through in every episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wide range of topics that are covered. From discussions about discernment and religious life to exploring current events from a Catholic perspective, there is always something interesting being discussed. The variety of guests that are invited onto the show brings different perspectives and adds to the richness of each episode. Additionally, the mini-episodes from their road trips provide a unique glimpse into their lives as nuns and offer an intimate experience for listeners.
However, one potential drawback of this podcast is that it may not be for everyone. Those who are not interested in religious topics or have no desire to learn about Catholicism may not find much value in this podcast. Additionally, some episodes may delve into theological discussions that can be complex and might require prior knowledge or interest in the subject matter.
In conclusion, The A Nun's Life Ministry podcast is a true gift to those seeking spiritual guidance or simply wanting to explore different aspects of religious life. It offers a unique blend of entertainment, education, and inspiration that is hard to find elsewhere. Whether you are discerning a call to service or just curious about what it means to be a nun, this podcast will leave you feeling uplifted and enlightened with each episode. Thank you, Sisters Julie and Maxine, for creating such an incredible resource!

After 20 years of serving in communications ministry for Catholic Sisters (much of it supporting vocations), it became clear to Susan Flansburg that a guide for inquirers and discerners into religious life was desperately needed. A “one-stop shop” of critical but hard-to-find insights and information, Feels Like Home was written with and for vocation directors from across the country. Their contributions form the heart of the book as they share what it means to belong to a range of institutes, from apostolic and monastic to habited, cloistered, and missionary. A frequent contributor to many faith-based publications - including Vision Vocation, Horizon journal, and multiple Catholic religious institutes - Susan also writes for non-profit organizations from health care to higher education.

The youngest of nine children born of a devout Irish-Catholic mother, Sister Mary Michael Fox entered the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia (Nashville) at age 21, and has served in the community's primary apostolate of teaching for over 30 years. After being trained as a catechist for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael was so intrigued by its approach that she conducted doctoral research into the nature of its pedagogy. In February 2023, she published her research in a book, Following God's Pedagogy: Principles for Children's Catechesis (LTP, 2023). Sister Mary Michael currently serves at the Congregation's Retreat House in Dickson, Tennessee as both Martha and Mary: cooking, cleaning, and assisting with any of practical needs during retreats, and intercessory prayer before, during, and after each retreat.
