December 15, 2025
In “Find It with Kate,” Kate Moorehead Carroll invites listeners to explore sources of inspiration for living a life of faith, purpose, and peace. Each episode offers thoughtful reflections and practical wisdom for deepening one’s spiritual journey and finding greater meaning in everyday life.
In this episode, Dean Kate turns to Mary, the Mother of God, and invites listeners to encounter her anew. Drawing on close readings of Scripture and the original language, she explores what it meant to be a woman in Mary’s world—socially, spiritually, and theologically—and how those realities shape our understanding of Mary’s life and witness.
Rather than sentimentality or myth, this conversation centers on courage, agency, and faith. Dean Kate examines how Mary hears God’s call, wrestles with its implications, and responds with trust amid uncertainty and risk. Through careful attention to language and context, Mary emerges not as a passive figure, but as a faithful participant in God’s unfolding work.
