About Great News Podcast

Great News Podcast is a podcast proclaiming the Gospel in preparation for the Jubilee Year 2033, the 2000th anniversary of the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Hosted by Kayla Stansbury and Jamie Orillion, each episode follows the yearly themes of the Great Novena of the Catholic Diocese of Lafayette, sharing powerful stories of grace and conversion that reveal the living presence of Christ in our world today. Through conversations with ordinary people who have lived extraordinary encounters with God including lay faithful, priests, and religious alike, Great News invites listeners to rediscover the beauty of salvation and hear, perhaps for the first time, the voice of Christ calling them home to His Church. It’s more than a podcast. It’s a mission to spread the Great News that Jesus Christ still saves. Great News Podcast is a mission partnership with The Diocese of Lafayette, Catholic Charities of Acadiana, and One Media Missions.

S1E2 Joan LeFluer: "Why NOT me?"

“Why NOT me?” That’s the question Joan asked, not from a place of despair, but from faith. In this episode of Great News, we sit down with a woman who is dying of cancer, on hospice, with weeks to live. She speaks with courage, peace, and stunning clarity about suffering, trust, and what truly matters. When she was first diagnosed, she was angry, “Why me?” But while reading the Passion of Christ, thinking of Jesus and of Mary standing at the foot of the Cross, her question changed. Why not me? This is not a sad episode. It’s a real one. A faithful one. A peaceful one. It’s about learning how to live—from someone who is dying. If you’ve ever struggled with suffering, wrestled with God, or felt distracted from what matters most, this conversation will stop you in your tracks and gently reorder your priorities. 🎧 Listen now. And let Joan’s witness invite you to trust Jesus first and live with intention today. Great News Podcast is a mission partnership of The Diocese of Lafayette, Catholic Charities of Acadiana, and One Media Missions. It is a missionary effort of Lafayette's Great Novena: www.greatnovenalafayette.com [http://www.greatnovenalafayette.com]

S1E1 Dcn. Todd McKee: On Top of the World But Barely Hanging On

In this first episode of Great News Podcast, Dcn. Todd McKee shares his remarkable journey from atheism and loss to faith, healing, and mission. Growing up without belief, facing deep pain and separation, Todd searched for meaning for years until the love of his future wife led him to an encounter with Christ that changed everything. Through that encounter, he not only found faith but was called to serve as a deacon, and in a powerful act of grace, helped bring his mother into the Church before her death. This moving conversation is a reminder that no story is too broken for God to redeem. Great News Podcast is a mission partnership of The Diocese of Lafayette, Catholic Charities of Acadiana, and One Media Missions. It is a missionary effort of Lafayette's Great Novena.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
