Listen to this podcast about modern-day nun Sr. Monica Clare, who shares her life on social media.

What would Jesus' favorite TikTok be? We'll be asking questions like this in our new podcast, "Jesus' Favorite Podcast," a show about Jesus, his favorite things, and the people seeking to understand him better. For our first episode, we have Sister Monica Clare, who has grown a following on TikTok.

Before she entered the Community of St. John Baptist in 2012, Claudette Monica Powell performed in an acoustic rock duo and an improv comedy troupe in Los Angeles. After years of working in the movie industry in Hollywood, she now goes by Sister Monica Clare, sings in a church choir in Mendham Township, N.J., and posts matter-of-fact videos about convent life on TikTok.

Our director and host, Javi Zubizarreta, sat down with Sister Monica Clare to learn about her story, and her understanding and experience with Jesus. Listen to the full episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our YouTube Channel. #JesusFavoritePodcast
