About this sermon

She's a 103 year old fixture of college basketball. Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, better known as Sister Jean, is Chaplain of the Loyola University of Chicago men's basketball team. While her beloved Ramblers will not face off in this year's NCAA March Madness Showdown, she shares her thoughts on the team, love of the game and her new book. Sister Jean joins to discuss how a nun becomes such a force and figure in the world of men's college basketball. She shares whether she always had a love of sports and what really drew her to basketball. Sister Jean coauthored a book with sportswriter Seth Davis called "Wake Up With Purpose!: What I've Learned in my First Hundred Years." She tells us what she has learned in her first century of life. The chaplain of the men's basketball team explains what her purpose is and how she found out. Sr. Jean fills us in on her top pick for this year and what her bracket looks like.
