8/6/2025
You’ve heard it a thousand times: β€œOffer it up.” But maybe that phrase doesn't mean what you think it means.

RA #932: Life After Midlife is Not What We Expected.

7/8/2025
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 β€œproductivity” 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 seasonβ€”where your old identity doesn’t fit, and your new one hasn’t fully formed. If you’ve ever asked, β€œNow what?”— Yeah. Us too.

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

5/25/2025
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 β€” 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 β€” and why that matters less than where God is leading us now. In this episode, we share: β€’ Why Benedictine stirred up something deeper in us β€’ The difference between envy, jealousy… and something else β€’ How Pope Leo XIV’s early messages are already shaping Rosary Army β€’ What to watch for in his weekly addresses and Regina Caeli reflections β€’ Why now is a really good time to be Catholic β€” 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.

A Rosary-Loving Pope? What We’re Hoping For.

5/7/2025
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 β€” 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.

Crosses in life are inevitable β€” in marriage, family life, ministry, and even our spiritual growth. How we carry them changes how heavy they are.

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

3/20/2025
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 meanβ€”and honestly, some of these hit harder than we expected. πŸ”Ή β€œBlessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” Are we actually yearning for the right things? πŸ”Ή β€œBlessed are the merciful…” But what about mercy for ourselves? πŸ”Ή β€œBlessed 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.

"What Would You Do if Your World Turned Upside Down in an Instant?" In another deeply personal episode, we share how Jennifer's sudden health scare brought us face-to-face with mortalityβ€”and how faith, prayer, and the Rosary carried us through. From grappling with the spiritual battle of fear to reflecting on Memento Mori (β€œremember you will die”), we uncover powerful lessons about detachment, God’s grace, and living with trust in His plan. This episode isn’t just about survivalβ€”it’s about the life-changing impact of faith during life’s most uncertain moments. Whether you’re Catholic, curious about the faith, or just looking for inspiration, you’ll find hope and encouragement here. πŸ’¬ Have a similar story?

How we (sort of) Got Our Groove Back

10/7/2024
*** Want to watch the video version? Click here! *** After a three-month break filled with prayer, we’re back with renewed focus.

Big changes are coming: a renewed focus on parishes, a possible podcast name change, and shorter, mission-focused episodes.
