182. When Mary Calls: Surprising Encounters with the Mother of God | Margarita Mooney Clayton

What does it mean when Mary calls you, and what happens when people from every walk of faith begin to answer? In this episode I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Margarita Mooney Clayton, a theologian, author, and professor of practical theology at Princeton Theological Seminary and visiting research fellow at Oxford University, to talk about her upcoming book "When Mary Calls: Surprising Encounters with the Mother of God," a collection of true spiritual memoirs from people whose lives were transformed by an encounter with the Mother of God. We explore some of the most moving stories in the book, including a young Protestant woman who experienced three miscarriages and received a vision of Mary that literally saved her life, the hidden stained glass windows of Cuba that survived communist rule wrapped in tarps in someone's backyard, and the ways that sacred art, music, and embodied ritual are quietly drawing seekers back to a living faith. Margarita founded the Scala Foundation to restore culture through beauty, liberal arts education, and worship, and her work sits at the crossroads of everything I believe matters most right now in our world. I have been on my own journey toward Mary for most of my life, and this conversation brought so much of that into focus for me. If you have ever felt something was missing in your faith, or wondered why Mary seems to be calling to people across traditions, I think this episode will speak to you. Watch to the end, leave a comment telling me about your own experience with Mary, and please subscribe if you haven't yet.
