Sr Brenda Eagan CJ is producing a podcast rooted in the spirit of Mary Ward, the Love & Speak the Truth podcast. Her mission is to listen, stretch and illuminate how we can “find God in all things” and exemplify how “love is the driving force.”
In each episode, she welcomes an inspiring guest and is talking about life, faith, justice and other relvant topics.
Sr Brenda is supported by Megan and Jennifer, two ardent companions of Mary Ward and professionals in communications.
After two very successful seasons, the three of them are now back with their third season. Guest of the opening episode is Sr Veronica Fuhrmann CJ, General Superior of the Congregatio Jesu.
Sr. Brenda and Sr. Veronica have a candid, hope-filled conversation about leadership in a global, multicultural community. Sr Veronica reflects on the challenges and joys of guiding a congregation marked by diversity while keeping the passion for mission alive in a time of change.
Together, they explore the interconnectedness of faith, identity, and community, the importance of creating safe spaces for dialogue and growth, and the prophetic call to justice and inclusion.

Background:
Sr Brenda is convinced that the human experience is a God experience with joy and suffering. “No story is off limits. We aim to leverage wisdom and truth in a time of disconnect and diminishment through listening and love. We invite all to grow in spiritual and emotional intelligence with synodal conversation”, she explains.
The vision of her podcast is to move the lessons of life and faith to a worldview that is open, ageless and transforming.
The overall topic of the third season is: What’s love got to do with it?
Brenda, Megan and Jennifer answer that questuoin with: Quite a lot, actually.
In a short kickoff episode, they talk about the power of radical listening, the beauty of storytelling, and how love, compassion, and empathy can spark deeper understanding.
We are all looking forward to hear the episodes with guests from around the world and stories that range from global leadership to deeply personal journeys.
Together with the podcast team, we invite the members of the Mary Ward Family to become listeners, to connect, reflect, and keep the conversation going.
