Greg opens his first box of author copies, reveals the new title (God Doesn't Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom), and walks through how this book weaves his wounds, trauma, and healing with de Montfort's forgotten classic—all as a deeply personal Rosary Army milestone.

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.

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?

Jennifer is hooked on brain games and puzzles, a dive into Acts chapter 3, navigating pop culture, another stranger yells at Greg, and the search for lighthearted (and clean) entertainment.

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.

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.

#rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

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.
