Casey Stanton: On a Mission, Episode 15
If you’re like me, some days you just throw up your hands in frustration with the Catholic Church and just start cursing… before you do that today, it’s time to listen to Casey Stanton.
I first heard about Casey through the Catholic Women Preach movement. Her homily knocked me off my feet. It’s so good. She’s a community organizer, a pastoral minister, and a superb preacher.
You will not regret clicking here to listen to Casey’s take on the n in light of women’s ordination to the diaconate at this event organized through Xavier University:
Fast forward to minute 40 to zoom right to where she starts riffing on the Syrophoenician woman.

Episode 33: Episode 33: Preaching Hope with Kayla August – On a Mission
Kayla August is a vibrant, up-and-coming leader in the U.S. Catholic community. Maybe you heard her preach on Christmas Eve 2020 on Catholic Women Preach. Maybe you heard her speak at the 2021 FutureChurch Feast of St. Mary of Magdala. Maybe you heard her just last month at Saturdays with the Saints at Notre Dame University speaking about Thea Bowman. Like I said, she’s all around. Currently, Kayla is pursuing a doctorate in Religious Education with an emphasis in preaching. You might find yourself asking *why* would a Black, Catholic, U.S. woman pursue such a degree? You’ve got to hear her answer to that question. She is flying on faith, and she reminds us that journeys are one step at a time. Listen for Kayla’s distinction between evangelization and proselytization, the importance of sitting in gratitude, and how to love a Church that doesn’t always love you back.
