RA #932: 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.

RA #933: 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

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.

White smoke sure rose faster than anyone expected (at least faster than we did)! In this episode, we share where we were when Pope Leo XIV was elected, what it felt like in that moment, and our first impressions of the new Holy Father. We talk about: • Greg’s emotional reaction to the white smoke • Jennifer’s experience watching the announcement from school • Why it took so long for Pope Leo to appear • His early remarks, precision in speech, and mention of St. Augustine • What it might mean for the Rosary, the New Evangelization, and our mission We also share what this moment has stirred up for us — including messages from Protestant friends and a surprising sense of renewed momentum.

RA #929: A Rosary-Loving Pope? What We’re Hoping For.

What kind of Pope does the Church need right now? In this episode of the Rosary Army Catholic Podcast, Greg and Jennifer reflect on the pontificates of St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis — and share what they’re hoping for in the next successor of Peter. From a renewed love of the Rosary, to a rekindling of the New Evangelization, to a bold embrace of the deep and timeless teachings of the Church, this conversation is both personal and hopeful. We’re not talking politics. We’re talking prayer, discernment, and trust in the Holy Spirit. And we’re asking the questions many Catholics are quietly wondering.  📿 Start praying the Rosary daily: https://RosaryArmy.com 🕊️ Learn Total Consecration: https://TotalConsecration.com 🎓 Free courses and formation: https://SchoolOfMary.com   🙏🏻 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  #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

RA #928: Fulton Sheen, Marriage, and the Cross (and Cold Coffee)

Crosses in life are inevitable — in marriage, family life, ministry, and even our spiritual growth. How we carry them changes how heavy they are. Diving into Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Cries of Jesus from the Cross, we share what's been going on behind the scenes, including what we've been learning (and struggling with) along the way. Also: 🔹 Jennifer finishes her first-ever knitting project 🔹 A BIG SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🔹 How Fulton Sheen is shaping Greg’s prayer life 🔹 Why embracing suffering as a couple brings us closer to Jesus We don’t have everything figured out, but we’re walking through it with you.

RA #927: Wait…That’s What Jesus Meant?

We’ve heard the Beatitudes countless times at Mass or when reading the Bible, but how much do we actually understand them? In this episode, we wrap up our two-part discussion on Matthew 5 and what the Beatitudes really mean—and honestly, some of these hit harder than we expected. 🔹 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” Are we actually yearning for the right things? 🔹 “Blessed are the merciful…” But what about mercy for ourselves? 🔹 “Blessed are the peacemakers…” Does this mean avoiding conflict, or something more? If the Beatitudes have ever felt confusing, intimidating, or just out of reach, this episode is for you. When we started looking at them through a different lens, everything changed. 🙏🏻 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 - Introduction: Jesus’ Hardest Teachings  02:15 - Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness: More Than Morality 07:48 - What Being Merciful Really Means 12:32 - The True Meaning of “Pure in Heart” 18:10 - Peacemakers: Are You One? 22:55 - The Cost of Following Christ: Why Persecution is a Blessing 29:40 - Why This Teaching is So Misunderstood #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast

RA #926: The Beatitudes Explained: What Jesus Really Meant (Catholic Perspective)

📖 Are the Beatitudes just a list of rules, or do they reveal something deeper?
