    RA #937: Year of Discernment and Surrender

    Busyness, discernment, and living inside God's presence. We talk about recognizing real crosses vs. self-made ones, practicing interior prayer, learning from St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, and how abiding in God changes anxiety, decisions, and daily life.  🙏🏻 LINKS: • Greg's Brand New Book: God Doesn't Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com   🙏🏻 VIDEO CONTENTS   #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

    Everything Finally Suddenly Unexpectedly All At Once

    Greg got inspired and recorded an off-the-cuff solo episode.  Jennifer doesn't even know he did this.  But many thoughts have been accumulating, and he needed to get them out.  Also, he's writing this description, so why is it all written in third person?   🙏🏻 LINKS: • Video Version of This Episode - There ain't one, folks! 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com   #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

  6. Why "Offer it Up" Still Matters

    Why "Offer it Up" Still Matters

    You've heard it a thousand times: "Offer it up."  But maybe that phrase doesn't mean what you think it means. In this episode, Greg and Jennifer dig into this often-dismissed Catholic phrase and how rediscovering its true meaning can radically transform how you approach suffering, prayer, and even the Offertory at Mass. 🙏🏻 LINKS: • VIDEO VERSION 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com 🙏🏻 VIDEO CONTENTS 00:00 – Intro: "Offer It Up" — What Does It Really Mean? 01:12 – Revisiting de Montfort and the Heart of the Offertory 02:04 – Why the Devil Wants You to Ignore This Phrase 04:08 – The Offertory Is More Than Money 05:22 – Offering Your Sufferings at Mass 07:44 – What We Miss When We Don't Offer Everything 10:24 – What's Spiritually Happening During the Offertory 13:53 – Embracing God's Will in Every Loss 16:35 – Tithing, Trust, and God's Radical Generosity 27:28 – Final Takeaway: Give God Everything — He'll Give Back More

  7. Life After Midlife is Not What We Expected.

    JUL 8

    Life After Midlife is Not What We Expected.

    After decades of raising kids, building routines, and chasing goals, why don't we feel further along? In this episode, we discuss candidly what it's like navigating life in our 50s: becoming first-time grandparents, reevaluating what "productivity" means, coping with physical and spiritual changes, and finding ways to stay grounded in our marriage throughout it all. It's not a midlife crisis, but it is a strange in-between season—where your old identity doesn't fit, and your new one hasn't fully formed. If you've ever asked, "Now what?"— Yeah. Us too. Listen to the audio, or watch the video version here. 🙏🏻 LINKS: • Video Version of This Episode 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com   🙏🏻 VIDEO CONTENTS 00:00 – A different episode 04:35 – New roles in life 09:15 – Is this a midlife crisis… or something else entirely? 11:00 – Marriage in our 50s: rediscovery and reconnection 20:05 – Menopause, hot flashes, and spiritual offerings 30:15 – Letting go of past identities and roles 38:40 – The struggle between stillness and productivity 46:05 – A different approach to Scripture Study 1:01:15 – Greg's Top Secret Project Revealed #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

  8. RA #931: We Went to Kansas. It Brought Up a Lot.

    MAY 25

    RA #931: We Went to Kansas. It Brought Up a Lot.

    We reflect on our son's graduation from Benedictine College, the emotions it stirred, and why this season feels like a spiritual turning point. We also discuss easy ways to follow Pope Leo XIV's papacy and explore how God meets us despite our past and calls us forward — again and again. Plus: why it's a great time to be Catholic. After our son's graduation from Benedictine College, we found ourselves unexpectedly reflecting on regret, longing, and the paths we didn't walk — and why that matters less than where God is leading us now. In this episode, we share: • Why Benedictine stirred up something deeper in us • The difference between envy, jealousy… and something else • How Pope Leo XIV's early messages are already shaping Rosary Army • What to watch for in his weekly addresses and Regina Caeli reflections • Why now is a really good time to be Catholic — even when the future feels uncertain We also welcome all the new Rosary Army Soldiers who found us through CatholicTV, EWTN Radio, and Catholic Faith Network. We're glad you're here. 🙏🏻 LINKS: • Video Version of This Episode • Benedictine College • Sr. Deirdre Byrne's Commencement Address • Soul Supply Catholic Bookstore 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com 🙏🏻 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Kansas Trip and Benedictine Graduation 01:00 - Ben's Journey Through College 03:00 - Regret, Jealousy, and the Virtue We're Missing 06:00 - Wanting the Prize Without the Pain 09:00 - Gratitude and Friendships at Benedictine 11:00 - Letting Go to Let God Lead 12:00 - Jesus in Our Past: Redeeming Regret 13:00 - Why We're Following Pope Leo XIV's Messages 20:00 - Building a New Wave of Evangelization 26:00 - Anxiety, the Holy Spirit, and Choosing Trust #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast
