Who was the first woman in broadcast history to found and lead her own cable network? It wasn’t Oprah—it was a cloistered nun named Mother Angelica. In this powerful episode, Raymond Arroyo takes you on a deeply personal journey through the miraculous life of a woman who defied all odds to build the largest religious media network in the world.

Through faith, humor, and relentless trust in divine providence, Mother Angelica became a spiritual trailblazer, a media pioneer, and an unlikely icon. You’ll hear remarkable stories of healing, risk, and resilience—stories Raymond witnessed firsthand as her biographer and close friend. From her childhood struggles in a broken home, to a life-changing miracle that led her to God, to the moment she stared down CBS executives and declared she’d build her own studio, this is the story of a woman who truly did the ridiculous so God could do the miraculous.

Whether you’re in need of encouragement, curious about the power of prayer, or simply want to meet a woman who changed the world by saying “yes” to God, this episode will leave a lasting impression.
