Greg and Jennifer share how the launch of God Doesn't Hate Me After All connects directly to Rosary Army's mission, then open up about their Advent giving campaign, financial shortfalls, and why someone now asks them for a rosary every six hours. It's an honest conversation about trust, almsgiving, repentance, and helping the next generation discover the love of Jesus through the Rosary.

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?
