RA #955: We've Waited 20 Years for This.

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 15:34:00 +0000

After thinking and praying about this for almost twenty years, we finally take a huge step of faith about an idea that's stuck with us for years. It's time to discover where God may be leading us next. In this episode, we announce yet another first for Rosary Army, and hope you'll be a part of it.

RA #954: 30 Days of Praying 15 Mysteries a Day

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:19:00 +0000

Greg and Jennifer explain why they started praying all 15 mysteries every day, and how that simple change has brought more peace, surrender, and clarity to their marriage and work.

---

Greg shares how St. Louis de Montfort's writings, especially The Love of Eternal Wisdom, encouraged him and Jennifer to avoid treating the Rosary like a checkbox. De Montfort's claim that there is no better way to establish the reign of Jesus Christ than by uniting vocal and mental prayer through the 15 mysteries is the key. Jennifer talks about hearing another married couple was doing this every day, and how that made the idea feel possible. That, combined with de Montfort's meditations changed the way they pray the Rosary.

They also talk about what happened once they stopped trying to control the outcome of their prayers. Instead of using the Rosary to push one heavy intention, they began handing it all to Mary and trusting her to dispense the graces as she saw fit. Greg connects that surrender to a surprising stretch of fruitfulness in Rosary Army, from the new School of Mary launch to a possible pilgrimage in the footsteps of de Montfort. They also share how this month of praying together has brought greater peace, more unity in their marriage, and a stronger sense of what Rosary Army is really for: helping people pray the Rosary every day.

RA #953: The Life of Michelle Duppong with Patti Maguire Armstrong

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Greg and Jennifer talk with Patti Maguire Armstrong about Servant of God Michelle Duppong, an ordinary young woman whose life, death, simple invitations, deep faith, and surrender to God draw countless people to Jesus.

Greg and Jennifer talk with Patti Maguire Armstrong about writing Michelle Duppong: Hope in the Depths of Suffering and why Michelle's story impacted them so much while narrating Patti's audiobook. We discuss the way Michelle invited people, loved them, and trusted Jesus to do the rest. Patti shares how Michelle's efforts to become a FOCUS missionary, getting turned down, getting little support to do her work, and how God still managed to convert countless others through Michelle's YES.

They also talk about Michelle's temperament, her desire for marriage, her six years as a FOCUS missionary, and the ripple effect of her witness after her death. Greg points out a common problem for many Christians: most of us overthink evangelization when maybe the first step is just an invitation. We talk about Michelle's simple solution to align your will to God's and keep going.

RA #952: The Ultimate Prayer Group

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Protestants ask why Catholics pray to Mary. Catholics may ask: when do you pray to Mary, and when do you pray to Jesus? The answer for both is simpler than you may think.

---

An email from from a men-o-paused man relating to last week's take on menopause, and how it impacts both sides in a marriage.

Then Greg and Jennifer tackle a question from School of Mary: when should you ask Mary for help, and when should you go straight to Jesus? They break down "to Jesus through Mary," the humility of approaching the King through the Queen Mother, and the communion of saints as a real "we're in this together" way of praying. It ain't complicated, folks. In fact, it's quite beautiful.

RA #951: You're Not Crazy.

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Menopause, marriage, and mental health, and how the Rosary just may be the key to surviving it all.

---

Jennifer shares the unexpected symptoms, disrupted sleep, and other unexpected changes (and crosses) of going through menopause.

This leads to a discussion of how significant life changes can bring real grief, and the difficulties of adjusting when you didn't see it coming. After hearing about recent suicides in the news, he candidly reveals some of his past suffering and the primary thing that got him through the most tenuous period of life, and how that same thing is fine-tuning the focus of Rosary Army for the years to come.

RA #950: This Is Why Everything Feels Difficult

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

We regularly make things more difficult than they need to be. Carving out actual time for prayer, getting into exercise routines, and even making a simple grocery list all feel harder than they should. Better solutions are often right in front of us, and they start by discovering one simple thing.

---

Lately, everything feels like a major decision: dinner, errands, routines, even the things we want to do (like exercise and prayer). The problem isn't necessarily laziness or lack of discipline. It's our tendency to make things more difficult than they need to be.

Usually, many tasks have a point of friction. Figure out what that point is, and eliminate it, and tasks that were once drudgery can suddenly have new meaning. In this episode, we wrestle with the idea of "friction points" and why a small fix often moves the ball faster than focusing on a bigger goal. We share some ideas to stop fighting the same battles every day and make things a little easier by removing the friction

Plus, the all-new School of Mary 2.0 has officially launched!

RA #949: Ready for Marian Consecration? Start Here

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

If you've ever thought about Marian consecration, this is the perfect time to begin the 33-day preparation leading into Lent.

---

February always sneaks up on us—and for Jennifer, it also brings that familiar "spiritual antsy" feeling that it's time to reconnect and renew her consecration to Jesus through Mary. We talk through what consecration is (and isn't), why de Montfort's 33-day preparation still matters, and how the slow, steady rhythm of prayer changes you—especially when you do it like it's your first time.

Along the way, we share a practical lens that applies to Lent too: remove the friction points before you begin. Pick your Lenten reading, make your plan, and set yourself up for follow-through now, not later. Whether you're preparing for February 20 or just trying to live more intentionally, this is an invitation to go a little deeper—and to start sooner than you think.

RA #948: Don't Leave the Vacuum Empty

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

As Lent approaches, Greg and Jennifer focus on three ways to have a stellar lead-up to Easter: pray the Rosary daily, fill the "vacuum" with something holy (like Greg's new book), and make or renew your yes to Jesus through Mary.

Lent has a way of making us think we need to do more—more prayers, more sacrifices, more plans. All good things. But in this episode, Greg and Jennifer talk about a simpler (and more lasting) approach: choosing one or two meaningful practices that actually make space for God, are protected from distractions, and can lead to genuine lifelong transformation. Greg reflects on the "vacuum" that forms when we give something up, and why it matters what we allow to fill it.

Jennifer shares about a major transition in her life, one that requires real discernment about time, energy, and responsibility regarding family and Rosary Army. Her experience reflects the same question many of us face during Lent: what needs to be set aside so we can be more faithful where God is truly calling us?

This Lent, consider choosing one or two simple practices that truly make space for God—perhaps praying the Rosary each day with more stillness, or renewing your consecration to Jesus through Mary. Rosary Army is here to help.

RA #947: Addicted to Knowing, Starved for Wisdom

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 16:40:00 +0000

We live surrounded by information, yet many of us feel more anxious and less peaceful than ever. In this episode, Greg and Jennifer discuss distraction, wisdom, and why the Rosary helps restore inner peace.

---

We live in a world where we're expected to know everything—news, opinions, controversies, updates—often in real time. But knowing more doesn't always bring peace. In fact, it can leave us anxious, distracted, and spiritually exhausted.

In this episode of the Rosary Army Catholic Podcast, Greg and Jennifer reflect on our addiction to information and the quiet cost it has on our interior life. Drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and the wisdom of the Church, they explore the difference between knowing things and truly knowing Christ.

They also talk practically about prayer, especially the Rosary, as a way to retrain our attention, calm an overstimulated mind, and reconnect with Jesus through Mary.

RA #946: The 2½ Minute Prayer for Wisdom

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Want an amazingly simple prayer you could add to your day right now? In this episode, we share Solomon's Prayer for Wisdom (and time it: 2.5 minutes).

We also talk about something St. Louis de Montfort wrote in The Love of Eternal Wisdom (which is included in Greg's new book), which is the difference between aiming for the outer rings of the target and learning to aim for the center: Jesus Christ.

We're also asking for your prayers as we discern a possible Rosary Army retreat, tentatively scheduled for June 2026, at a beautiful retreat center east of Atlanta. Nothing is final yet—but we're taking actual steps, and we'd appreciate your prayers for clarity and wisdom.

What are "open loops," and why do they steal our peace? We discuss starting the new year with tiny experiments instead of endless to-do lists, and share a hopeful first step toward a possible Rosary Army retreat (nearly 20 years in the making).

Plus, Marty the cat crashes the studio, we ask for continued prayers for our son Ben in his mechanical engineering job search, and we remember to pray for souls who have died. Oh, and Jennifer has a menopausal hot flash right in the middle of the show.

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?

RA #933: Why "Offer it Up" Still Matters

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 19:16:00 +0000

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.

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 13:58:00 +0000

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 25 May 2025 21:58:00 +0000

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.

RA #930: Why We're Hopeful About Pope Leo XIV

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 14 May 2025 18:15:00 +0000

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.

What are your thoughts so far on Pope Leo XIV? Were you watching when the white smoke appeared?

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 07 May 2025 19:55:00 +0000

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.

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 14:39:00 +0000

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. We're glad you're here.

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 20:08:00 +0000

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.

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

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:00 +0000

📖 Are the Beatitudes just a list of rules, or do they reveal something deeper? Many Catholics and Christians misunderstand these powerful words of Jesus in Matthew 5—especially what it means to be "poor in spirit," to mourn, and to be meek.

📢 Unlock the hidden meaning of the Beatitudes—and how they can transform your faith today:

✅ "What 'poor in spirit' REALLY means in Matthew 5 (Hint: It's NOT about being broke!)"
✅ "Why 'Blessed are those who mourn' is more than just grief—and how it strengthens your faith"
✅ "True meekness is a hidden superpower (Here's why it's NOT weakness)"

RA #922: Confession Confusion

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 23:43:00 +0000

Ever feel like something still lingers after confession, even when you know you've been forgiven? In this episode, Greg and Jennifer dive into the common struggle of reconciling God's mercy with the need for purification. We wrestle with how grace, purgatory, and forgiveness play out in our lives—and even bring in a popcorn pot to help explain it. Join us for an honest conversation about faith, trust, and why the journey of forgiveness is often more complex than it seems.

RA #918: Health Scare Aftermath

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 20:53:00 +0000

"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 mortality—and how faith, prayer, and the Rosary carried us through.

From grappling with the spiritual battle of fear to reflecting on Memento Mori ("remember 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 survival—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.

Quick Podcast Update!

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 16:42:00 +0000

Hello everyone, Greg from Rosary Army and Adventures in Imperfect Living here. After a much-needed break, Jennifer and I are preparing to return to podcasting. We've already recorded our comeback episode, but I'm holding off on releasing it for a few weeks to build up a buffer of content.

This break has been crucial for addressing several pressing issues and reassessing our production approach. We're making changes to our schedule and style to ensure long-term sustainability. While getting back into the routine has been challenging, we're committed to delivering content that meets your expectations.

The past few months have been a time of discernment about how we can best serve Rosary Army and the future of this apostolate. We've been exploring how best to be good stewards of our mission. We'll share more about these reflections in our upcoming episodes.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. We've received your messages, and I want to assure you that new shows are on the way. We're excited to reconnect with you all very soon. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate this new chapter.

EPISODE SHOW NOTES & LINKS

Erica Tighe Campbell, owner and designer of Be A Heart, created this stunning, full-color guide to creatively celebrating the faith throughout the year. Living the Seasons is brimming with clever, doable, and beautiful crafts and activities; vivid photographs; brief introductions to the seasons and the lives of the saints; heartfelt notes of encouragement from Campbell; and original Be A Heart illustrations. This gorgeous companion will become your favorite resource for living your faith at home for years to come.

In Living the Seasons, Campbell offers imaginative ideas, effortless directions, and gorgeous photos of crafts, activities, meals, and snacks for a diverse variety of Catholic feast days, holy days, and seasons in the Church. She uses supplies that can easily be found at your local craft stores, party shops, or online retailers.

You'll find ways to celebrate all of the Church seasons—Advent, Christmas, Lent, the Triduum, Easter, Ordinary Time—and Holy Days of Obligation in the United States, and feast days for saints from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. And you'll discover fun ideas and new traditions such as:

throwing a baby shower for Mary;
blessing your home in the New Year;
celebrating Fat Tuesday with King Cake and a piñata;
living like St. Joseph by spending time in silence and making a wooden baby rattle;
constructing your own gratitude journal and rosary;
making art for God, including a salt-dough Trinity wall hanging, an Assumption cloud pillow, and an orange garland for St. Nicholas Day;
creating edible flower lollipops to remind us of the "Garden of Mary's womb"; and
baking "Cookies of Joy" in honor of St. Hildegard of Bingen.

Campbell will help you discover that the liturgical calendar, which follows the seasons of a year in the life of the Church, is a tool that can draw you—individually, as a family, or as a community—closer to God in the midst of a fast-paced and ever-changing world. Along the way, the saints we celebrate teach us that the path to holiness is worthy of pursuing in our own unique way. Their lives can inspire you to listen to how God calls you to follow him as well.

This book is designed to inspire you to celebrate the feast days that speak to you personally. You don't have to start living liturgically on the first Sunday of Advent—you can begin your journey anytime during the year. You also don't have to celebrate every feast on a grand scale.

There are projects for all ages and levels of skill—from simple ways to honor a saint's feast day with your kids to more elaborate celebrations with family and friends.

Mayo Clinic Article

Co-Dependency Recovery

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Passive-aggressiveness and co-dependency, while distinct, both impact relationship dynamics profoundly. Passive-aggressiveness involves expressing discontent indirectly, through means like sarcasm or silent treatment, often due to confrontation fears. This approach can lead to unresolved issues and simmering resentment. Conversely, co-dependency involves an excessive emotional or psychological reliance on another, typically in relationships where one partner supports another with an illness or addiction. This results in neglecting one's own needs to prioritize the other's, creating an imbalanced relationship. Both patterns highlight the critical need for open communication and healthy boundaries to foster supportive, balanced relationships.

ADV #516: A Thousand Good Books

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 21:42:00 +0000

Inspired by John Senior's "The Death of Christian Culture" and his list of 1000 Good (not Great) books, Greg and Jennifer explore how shifting their reading habits makes it easier to consume even greater books that are more mentally, emotionally, and spiritually edifying.

EPISODE 516 SHOW NOTES & LINKS

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The appendix from John Senior's "The Death of Christian Culture" presents a compelling argument for the revival of Christian values in the modern world with a view of increasing our ability to dive into Great Books (like those from Augustine, Socrates, and others), by first developing the fertile soil of our mind via fables, tales, poetry, and other literary works. Thus, the "1000 Good Books" list.

While this collection is aimed at young readers before they tackle the "Great Books" of Western civilization, we suggest that given the watered down nature of content distribution in the 21st century, that we could all benefit from reading more of these books, which includes a diverse range of literature spanning myths, fairy tales, novels, and poetry. Senior emphasizes that these stories, rich in virtues like courage, love, and justice, are crucial for developing a moral imagination and wisdom from a young age.

The essence of the "1000 Good Books" is to lay a foundational understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness, countering the utilitarian and relativistic tendencies of contemporary education. Senior advocates for a classical approach to learning, where character formation and the pursuit of virtue are prioritized. Each selected work not only holds literary merit but also possesses the power to profoundly engage the reader's heart and mind, fostering discussions on life's significant questions within family and community contexts.

Ultimately, Senior's vision through the "1000 Good Books" list is not merely educational but deeply cultural and spiritual. It serves as a roadmap for a lifelong engagement with literature that enriches the soul and intellect, urging readers to explore the depths of Christian and Western thought. This initiative is a call to rediscover the role of literature in cultivating wisdom, virtue, and a richer Christian life, aiming for a broader cultural renewal.

In this week's enriching podcast, we had the honor of hosting Alec Torres, co-author of "Persecuted from Within: How the Saints Endured Crises in the Church." This episode is a profound journey into the heart of our faith, exploring the realities of persecution within the Church and the resilience of its saints.

We started with the pressing question: What is and isn't persecution in the Church? Many might doubt the existence of such trials, but history and current events beg to differ. Torres masterfully dissected this complex issue, enlightening us on the subtleties of internal Church conflicts. He posed an intriguing question, drawing parallels between Judas' betrayal and contemporary challenges: "What are Christians to do when Church leaders falter?" This pivotal query set the tone for our discussion on spiritual fortitude in the face of adversity.

Delving into recent history, we touched on the ominous words of Paul VI from 1972 about the "Smoke of Satan entering the sanctuary." Torres provided an insightful analysis, balancing the focus between the last 50 years and the preceding centuries. He navigated us through the tumultuous waters of recent scandals like the McCarrick disaster and the 2018 Church's response to COVID-19. His views on true obedience - following leaders without succumbing to sin or falsehood - offered a fresh perspective, especially regarding the dilemma faced by priests bound by their vow of obedience.

The conversation then shifted to hope and inspiration. Drawing from John 16:33, Torres explained how he steered clear of fear-mongering, instead infusing the book with a message of hope. He shared practical steps we can take amidst persecution, echoing the eternal truth that Christ has overcome the world.

Alex Torres' background as a former speechwriter for presidents and other dignitaries, and his role as co-founder of Allograph, a strategic writing and communications firm, clearly shone through in his articulate and persuasive narrative. His expertise brought a unique depth to our discussion, making complex theological and historical concepts accessible to our listeners.

This episode with Alec Torres is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the trials within the Church and how to emerge stronger in faith. It's a compelling reminder that, like the saints before us, we too are called to endure, persevere, and triumph in our spiritual journeys.

Remember, as Rosary Army soldiers, we're not just making, praying, and giving away rosaries; we're also fortifying our faith, learning from the past, and marching forward with hope. Tune in to this inspiring episode and let's continue to grow together in faith and resilience.

You will also learn how to develop the "eight Cs": to be calm, connected, compassionate, clear-thinking, curious, creative, courageous, and confident. Additionally, you will learn to foster the "five Ps": patience, persistence, perspective, playfulness, and presence.

The book includes three litanies: the Litany of the Closed Heart, the Litany of the Wounded Heart, and the Litany of the Fearful Heart. These litanies have been used by countless people to connect their inner parts with God's love and mercy. The goal of the litanies is to bring you into a closer relationship with God as you release your fears and anxieties.

We know that in God's embrace we can find safety and that God can heal all of our wounds with loving care," Dr. Gerry explains. "God truly knows us, sees us, and wants the very best for us. And God delights in watching us discover our true selves."

More About our Guest's Book:

When you begin to see the Bible as a book of love, it will change the way you view love, sex, marriage, family, and your personal relationship with God.

Walk with popular scripture scholar John Bergsma from the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the wedding between the Lamb and the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation to learn how marriage in the Bible represents the love between God and his people.

Bergsma focuses on what nine biblical marriages tell us about God's relationship with us. These stories include:

Adam and Eve—who show us that marriage is the culmination of all creation and that marriage can be an image of the Trinity;
Ruth and Boaz—who display the tenderness and virtue of a marriage;
Solomon and his bride in the Song of Songs—who illustrate a positive, healthy view of the body and physical beauty; and
Jesus as Bridegroom of his people, the Church.
Using his popular, whimsical stick-figure illustrations and engaging style, Bergsma helps us understand scripture and salvation history in a unique, memorable way. He also provides insight into Church teachings on marriage and relationships—such as monogamy, the single life, the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Jesus's words about divorce—to show how these teachings come from the love God shares with his people through the covenants in scripture.

Intelligent Design

Book: God's Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In an age of rising unbelief, top Catholic thinkers show how, more than ever, both science and reason affirm the words of the great Catholic poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: "The world is charged with the grandeur of God."

This book, edited by biologist Ann Gauger, clears up common misconceptions regarding intelligent design, showing why it is an argument not from ignorance but from knowledge and how the evidence for God's design of the natural world is growing. Part 1 explores scientific evidence from experts in cosmology, paleontology, genetics, chemistry, and biology. In part 2, you will learn about the purpose of creation, transcendent beauty, and the distinctiveness of the human person. The third part lays out the theology behind creation and how it reflects God's glory and concludes with Dr. Anthony Esolen's essay on the "symphonic order" of the universe, masterfully drawing from science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy.

You will also learn:

What the Church really teaches about evolution
How neo-Thomists wrongly apply Aquinas's thinking to evolution
Characteristics that distinguish humans from the rest of creation
Why materialistic scientists resist the Big Bang Theory
How to understand the biblical account of Creation
How natural law and transcendental beauty point to the existence of God
Specific scriptures from the Old and New Testaments that testify to the wonder of God's creative hand
Why Pope Benedict XVI cautioned that vague explanations about creation are insufficient

Moreover, you will learn how the understanding of ancient philosophers and Aquinas regarding the mind-brain connection, coupled with modern neuroscience support intelligent design and the creation of man as not only a material being but a spiritual being.

Each chapter includes extensive references, enabling further exploration. The entire book will strengthen you as never before in the belief that the world is the creation of an intelligent and intentional Designer—One whose greatest longing is for you to spend all eternity with Him.

This week's episode of Adventures in Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast, titled "When Life Gets Overwhelming," delves into the rollercoaster of events that have consumed our lives over the past two months. It has been a period filled with constant change and unexpected challenges, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate through it all.

But God knows that path.

One of the significant factors contributing to this whirlwind of chaos has been the comings and goings of our young adult children. As they transition in and out of our home, we find ourselves adjusting to the ever-changing dynamics and trying to provide them with the support they need while also maintaining our own sense of balance. The constant flux of their presence sometimes creates a sense of instability, making it challenging to find a semblance of routine or normalcy.

However, amidst the flurry of activity, one particular challenge has been particularly heartbreaking for us to face as devout Catholics. Our young adult son, who once embraced his faith and attended Mass regularly, has abruptly stopped attending Mass. This revelation has left us grappling with a mixture of emotions, ranging from concern and disappointment to sadness and confusion. We are left questioning what may have triggered this change, our own culpability, and how we can help him rediscover his faith and reconnect with the spiritual nourishment that Mass provides.

As we share our experiences and reflections in this episode, we open up about the emotions and struggles we have faced in the midst of these overwhelming circumstances in the hopes that you'll be encouraged should you find yourself in similar circumstances. We explore the impact that this tumultuous period has had on our own faith journey, as we attempt to balance our parental role with our desire to guide our son back to the path of faith.

Through candid conversations and heartfelt insights, we delve into the various strategies we have explored to address the challenges we face. We discuss seeking support from our faith community, engaging in open and honest dialogue with our son, and embracing a sense of surrender and trust in God's plan.

Listeners will find solace in the relatability of our experiences, as we acknowledge the vulnerability and imperfections that come with navigating through overwhelming seasons of life. We offer words of encouragement and solidarity, reminding our audience that they are not alone in their struggles. We emphasize the importance of leaning on faith and fostering an atmosphere of love and acceptance within our families, even when faced with difficult circumstances.

"When Life Gets Overwhelming" serves as a reminder that life's challenges are a part of our human journey, but they do not necessarily define us. It is in these moments of overwhelming chaos that we have the opportunity to grow, to deepen our faith, and to strengthen the bonds within our family. Join us on this week's episode as we share our stories, offer insights, and strive to find peace amidst the storms of life.

How to explain the meaning of sexuality to children
Arguments and replies regarding priestly celibacy

Dr. Kwasniewski demonstrates how the dignity of marriage and family and the evils that threaten them - such as pornography, self-gratification, premarital sex, divorce, contraception, and abortion - can and should be viewed not only in terms of what they are but also in terms of what they signify spiritually and cosmically.

In a world that is becoming increasingly totalitarian and hostile to the sacramental dignity of the human body, this book serves as a beacon of hope and renewal for those who seek to uphold the wisdom of Holy Mother Church.

ADV #474: The Names of Jesus: Who Do You Say I Am?

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Eric Sammons gives us plenty to meditate on with his new book, Who Do You Say I Am? Unlocking the 24 Titles Given to Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.

In it, Eric explains how Christ's contemporaries ascribed to Him many names and titles, and each represents a ray of light that brings us to a clearer understanding of our Savior. He was called Nazarene, Shepherd, Physician, Son of God, Christ, Lord, and Rabbi. All told, Jesus was given twenty-four names in St. Matthew's Gospel — and each holds a key to unlocking the mysteries of Christ's life. If you're looking for a completely new access point for coming to know and love Jesus, this book is for you.

In this episode of Adventures in Imperfect Living, Rosary Army founders Greg and Jennifer Willits talk with Eric about the Gospel of Matthew and how we can rediscover the beauty and wonders of Scripture to help us grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ.

Plus we talk about Crisis Magazine, events in the Church, and Cincinnati commonalities including Graeter's ice cream, Skyline Chili, and more.

Eric Sammons is the Editor-in-Chief of Crisis Magazine and the author of nine books, including a book on Catholic evangelization and a book on religious indifference. He has contributed over 150 articles to numerous websites, including Catholic Answers, OnePeterFive, Crisis Magazine, and The Federalist. He and his wife have seven children and live in Ohio.

ADV #464: Are You Stifling the Holy Spirit?

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:55:00 +0000

Stop living in fear of the world and things like EMPs, 3 Days of Darkness, and Prepping. You may be stifling the spirit. Listen to this in depth breakdown of 1 Thessalonians and Spiritual Perfection, according to Diadochus of Photice.

EPISODE 464 SHOW NOTES & LINKS

Readings referenced:

- 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28
- The treatise On Spiritual Perfection by Diadochus of Photice, bishop (see below for full text)

Watch full video here - https://youtu.be/CgxHOARRwmM

#rosaryarmy #catholic #EMP #Bible

The full text referenced from Diadochus of Photice:

The mind has a spiritual sense which teaches us to distinguish between good and evil

The light of true knowledge makes it possible to discern without error the difference between good and evil. Then the path of justice, which leads to the sun of Justice, brings the mind into the limitless light of knowledge since it never fails to seek the love of God with all confidence.

Therefore, we must maintain great stillness of mind, even in the midst of our struggles. We shall then be able to distinguish between the different types of thoughts that come to us: those that are good, those sent by God, we will treasure in our memory; those that are evil and inspired y the devil we will reject. A comparison with the sea may help us. A tranquil sea allows the fisherman to gaze right to its depths. No fish can hide there and escape his sight. The stormy sea, however, becomes murky when it is agitated by the winds. The very depths that it revealed in its placidness, the sea now hides. The skills of the fisherman are useless.

Only the Holy Spirit can purify the mind: unless the strong man enters and robs the thief, the booty will not be recovered. So by every means, but especially by peace of soul, we must try to provide the Holy Spirit with a resting place. Then we shall have the light of knowledge shining within us at all times, and it will show up for what they are, all the dark and hateful temptations that come from demons, and not only will it show them up: exposure to this holy and glorious light will also greatly diminish their power.

This is why the Apostle says: Do not stifle the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of goodness: do not grieve him by your evil actions and thought, and so deprive yourself of the defense his light affords you. In his own being, which is eternal and life-giving, he is not stifled, but when his is grieved he turns away and leaves the mind in darkness, deprived of the light of knowledge.

The mind is capable of tasting and distinguishing accurately whatever is presented to it. Just as when our health is good we can tell the difference between good and bad food by our bodily sense of taste and reach for what is wholesome, so when our mind is strong and free from all anxiety, it is able to taste the riches of diving consolation, and to preserve, through love, the memory of this taste. This teaches us what is best with absolute certainty. As Saint Paul says: My prayer is that your love may increase more and more in knowledge and insight, and so enable you to choose what is best.

What to do when your gift is to evangelize online. Are we being genuine with the message that we preach or are we simply prisoners to our online personas? These are the kinds of questions Amy Welborn brings up in a recent article, "The Hazards of Online Faith-Writing." Amy brings up the question that personas force us to be "on" at all times and potentially imprisons those of us that focus our energies on online ministry.

Proof That You Suck

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 16:08:14 +0000

It's incredibly easy to believe that you suck. Perhaps you've looked in the mirror and actually said those words to yourself. But where did that unhealthy core belief come from? And what is a core belief anyway? In this episode, Greg takes a page from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy rulebook to explain the difference between healthy and unhealthy core beliefs, as well as how to counteract negative core beliefs by evaluating positive evidence from your life.

The Simple yet Difficult Expression of Contemplative Prayer

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 15:28:14 +0000

St. Theresa of Jesus describes Contemplative Prayer as "nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us." Contemplative prayer, the Catechism teaches, is a choice of time and duration that arises from a determined will (2710). It is the prayer of the child of God, the simplest expression of the mystery of prayer, an intense time of prayer that is a gaze of faith, focused on Jesus. Additionally, Contemplative prayer is hearing the Word of God and is silence, the "symbol of the world to come." An exploration of Catechism paragraphs 2709 through 2719, in this episode we work though the complexities of what should a very simple action: experiencing God through Contemplative Prayer. EXCERPT: An exploration of Catechism paragraphs 2709 through 2719, in this episode we work though the complexities of what should a very simple action: experiencing God through Contemplative Prayer.

How Then Shall We Pray?

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 19:46:06 +0000

We all want deeper relationships with God, and as St. Therese of Lisieux says, "For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy." But if "Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God," as St. John Damascene writes, then why is prayer often so difficult? And why is it such a challenge to establish a regular, ongoing prayer routine? In this episode we talk about what the Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about prayer, and how we are to go about doing it, particularly when we let our own lives get in the way. EXCERPT: A discussion on prayer as God's gift to us, and the different ways God calls us into a deeper communion with Him through prayer. SUBSCRIBE TO WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH iTunes - h

Fulton Sheen and the End of Christendom

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 15:13:33 +0000

Joseph Pronechen from the National Catholic Register recently wrote an incredibly insightful column about Archbishop Fulton Sheen's 1974 statement about the end of Christendom, as well as the antidote to the crisis of faith very much in existence in the world today. In 1974, Archbishop Sheen clarified by saying, "Christendom is economic, political, social life as inspired by Christian principles. That is ending — we've seen it die. Look at the symptoms: the breakup of the family, divorce, abortion, immorality, general dishonesty." In this episode we break open both Pronechen's article and analysis, as well as work towards a deeper understanding of Sheen's prophetic words from 1974 and what they mean in today's world. We'd love to hear your comments and feedback!

Why Read Church Documents?

Mac, Katherine, Jennifer and Greg dive into Scripture, Tradition, and the Early Church Fathers to have a better understanding of not only the necessity of baptism, but trying to figure out if this is a "one and done" sacrament that isn't necessary for the rest of our Christian life.

Exodus 90, Latin Mass, and Jennifer Wears a Veil

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 23:37:05 +0000

After recording last week's show, Greg got a phone call that changed his plans for the next 90 days. He's now joined a group of men going through Exodus 90, which means no TV, movies, video games, alcohol and more until just before Thanksgiving! Also, last week we had a chance to attend a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time and we share our perspectives. And lastly, Jennifer talks about her decision to start wearing a veil at Mass, and all the conflicting feelings that go along with it.

The $2000 Lemon, Woes of a Veteran Podcaster, and Daddy Daughter Day

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 17:13:47 +0000

Ben and Tom turned 17 and 15 last April and now go to a high school that requires us to drive them 20 minutes each way every day. With Ben on an after school robotics team, there are days we make this trip 3 times, plus Tommy has to go to work four days a week. So to cut down on driving, we bought a secondhand car so Ben can finally get his license. It all goes down from there. Plus, Mac and Greg's new podcast "Watch a Movie with Mac and Greg" is off to a great start, but would be doing even better if Greg hadn't messed up the recordings of three episodes so far. Lastly, in an effort to give our kids one-on-one time, Lily planned a daddy/daughter day with Greg. Enjoy the show?

Does Meditation Really Help Mental Health?

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 19:25:54 +0000

I've never really liked the idea of just plain meditation, in part because I never really understood why I should meditate on nothing, and in another part because whenever I meditated on nothing, I ended up either thinking of more items for my to do list, or I ended up just complaining to God. That changed earlier this year, though, when I learned an incredibly simplified method of meditation that is not new age-y or overly distractive. So in this episode I share with you a simple way to find more calm in just 5-10 minutes each day. But I also want to share with you some of my own tricks for deeper prayer, because studies show that both meditation and prayer provide benefits to your brain.

The Pew Report, Our Video Process, and Scripture Study Roadblocks

We talk about the creative process of trying to figure out what kind of YouTube video will get the most views, the grand opening of our t-shirt swag shop, and we reflect on the recent Pew Report stating that 69% of Catholics don't believe in the Real Presence of the Eucharist and how that's reflected in the recent death of Jeffrey Epstein and multiple mass shootings across the United States.

Beth Schrader and Caring For Your Spouse

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 21:17:52 +0000

Throughout their years of marriage, Beth Schrader's husband has struggled with depression, anxiety and ADHD. After hearing us discuss Greg's mental health issues on our "The Hidden Battle" podcast, Beth started to put the pieces together that her husband's battles were not just occasional, but every day battles that become smaller but never quite go away. Not knowing how best to help her husband, Beth began battling shame and worry that, fortunately, lead to more positive conversations and approaches and mental health within their home. Beth courageously volunteered to share her story as the spouse of someone suffering from mental health issues and joins Greg to discuss the difficulties of loving someone who is in such pain.

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 18:01:06 +0000

Too Old for Tequila? We recently attended a dinner for couples from our local parish and were surprised when someone at the table bought a round of tequila shots, which brought forth the question of whether we're too old to do shots, and also reminded Greg of a time when he drank a few too many. Head Over Heels A recent exploratory trip to go "tubing" down a river ended up with Greg being dunked in the water when nobody was watching. New Show Schedule!

Ultimate Consumable Good

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 21:40:20 +0000

Discerning Focus Does creating content just for the online "Catholic Bubble" prevent us from actually evangelizing those who need to be evangelized? As we continue to evaluate what content to create and how to create it (i.e., with what focus and emphasis should we use), we find ourselves questioning whether our content is too Catholic or not Catholic enough. Of Thomas and Catherine Our discernment process also includes Jennifer studying quite a bit about St. Catherine of Sienna while Greg is being drawn more and more to St. Thomas Aquinas. According to Jennifer, however, Greg's approach is much like our kitten, Molly, acts. New Podcast Series - What We're Dealing With This week we've launched a brand new podcast series, co-hosted with our friends Mac and Katherine Barron called "What We're Dealing With."

Web Design Headaches Greg ponders why it was once so easy to make websites twenty years ago and why it seems to take him forever to make one today. Is it age, boredom, or the technology? Exercise Feedback We heard from listeners who encouraged our exercise goals based on their own experiences as both someone trying to avoid "the frail trail" as well as a physical therapist.

Man's Search for Meaning

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Sat, 11 May 2019 11:09:27 +0000

Incredible Response Huge thanks for the INCREDIBLE positive response we continue to receive since switching our Patreon account over to monthly instead of per-creation. The consensus seems to agree with what Jan, one of our co-producers, wrote when she said, "I think monthly was a great idea and will do just what you said. Y'all will be freed up to do a greater variety of things...I'd rather support all of your ministry efforts rather than random shows."

Pressing Reset

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 08 May 2019 23:40:09 +0000

Proper Dress for Podcasting We're podcasting earlier in the morning after a couple failed attempts at recording the show and Jennifer is surprised how dapper Greg looks (or as dapper as Greg gets when it's warm outside. Analysis Paralysis Overcoming the fear of a big decision, and jumping ahead, trusting God to pick up the debris. We Click The Big Red Button This week begins a new reset for us as we have all new reward tiers, bonus content, and more as we move to a monthly instead of per-show Patreon co-producer setup. Click here to become a brand new Patreon co-producer of our show and get some cool rewards! As we discuss in much more detail, the changes to Patreon have already gone into effect, and it is important to us that we keep our friends and supporters like you up to date on changes that may affect you because we really value your input! As we've discussed on recent episodes of Adventures in Imperfect Living, over the last few weeks and months, Jennifer and I have been looking at three major areas that impact our podcast (and our hopes for future content): How we create new and ongoing content that's enjoyable to us to create and helpful and entertaining for you to enjoy, How a different Patreon payment structure can support ongoing creation of even more exciting new content, Our current reward and tier structure for our Patreon page. As we've hinted on recent episodes, we've come up with a new framework for these three areas that we're really excited about and plan to roll out in the next few days. How We Create Content As you know, we love making content. From podcasts and videos to comic strips and written content to experimental new media and livestreams, we want to create content that energizes us to make even more (i.e., when it's fun and not work it inspires us with even more creativity), and serves the purpose of entertaining or inspiring others. The difficulty for us is the fact that A) our time — like yours — is limited, and sometimes we WANT to create something for you, but can't justify the time because we also have to B) do work that directly supports our family financially. This often means that videos we're ready to film, audio content we're prepared to record, comic strips we're ready to draw, and eBooks and other tools we want to write never happen because we have to do other less meaningful (but necessary) work behind the scenes that supports us but doesn't necessarily change lives. As our coproducers have already noticed in recent weeks, we're striving to include more bonus content such as behind the scenes photos, stories, videos, and recordings exclusively for our co-producers. This is just a sampling of the kind of stuff we want to do for you! Evaluating a Different Patreon Structure We started using Patreon to supplement our work back in October 2014. For those of you who have been with us this entire time, you know how important this has been for us personally, and we can never thank you enough for your generous support of our work and our family. Your patronage has kept us recording week after week even in the midst of cross country moves, debilitating illnesses, huge family transitions, and more. It's allowed us to share our faith and encourage others in their walk with Christ. It's allowed us to do things we never could have done otherwise. Honestly, Patreon is currently the number one way we support our family at this time. And while it's risky to put all of our eggs in one basket, this is the only basket we currently have, and we'd like to grow it. After much evaluation, discernment, and prayer, we believe the time has come for us to switch to a monthly Patreon structure instead of the per-episode structure we've used for the past four-plus years. What does this mean? If you're already a co-producer, hopefully not much will change for you, and what changes there are will be minimal in terms of your financial commitment. If you give $1 a show now with a max of $5 a month, you'll now be at the $5/month tier instead of the $1/show tier. If you give $10 a show with a max of $50 a month, you'll now be at the $50/month tier. Why do this? Honestly, because there are many times we want to make a bonus episode or create some other type of content but DON'T because we don't want to charge you extra and accidentally make you feel like we're taking advantage of your generosity. Secondly, we hope that a monthly tier structure will encourage more listeners to sign up if they know they'll be getting early access to more bonus content before everyone else. For the past four years, we've never been able to break past the plateau of 200 co-producers (we're currently at 174) and we'd like to change that. Changes in Tier Structures and Rewards Starting immediately, we're completely overhauling our reward and tier structure. The past structure was overly complicated to maintain, and we're fairly certain that we've inadvertently missed providing rewards to some of you who have earned them. Additionally, the rewards we've offered (such as paintings, comic strips, etc.) have required more time to fulfill than I've personally been able to manage. Therefore, we're starting over with a clean slate and will providing rewards at various tiers to all of you that we think will be even more fun. Going forward, our rewards will include access to more patron-exclusive content, as well as bonus swag such as stickers, drinking glasses, and other surprises sent directly to your home as our way to say THANK YOU. $5/Month - Community Forum Join the conversation with other co-producers by commenting in the Patreon-exclusive feed. Share your ideas and thoughts with other Patrons of Adventures in Imperfect Living, Greg's New Mental Health Show, Rosary Cast, as well as Greg and Jennifer themselves.

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 23:07:26 +0000

We talk about why we're trying to move, the flurry of recent activity around our Rosary Army non-profit, and how three days of silence, combined with finishing the book, "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks, is leading Greg down a new pathway of discovery into his zone of genius.

ADV #246: Spatula City!

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 21:25:52 +0000

We give an update on Walter's whereabouts and doings. We finally had a chance for a romantic date night and Jennifer literally tried to take the shirt off the waiter's back. Next, we talk about the delicate balance of work and life, and knowing when to take a break. Which leads to Jennifer kicking Greg out of the house for a few days, and a pointless game all about October.

ADV #245: Adios, Walter

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:52:15 +0000

In this week's episode: Mac Barron wrote a new book called, "Clueless in Galilee." After recent discussions on the show about fasting and almsgiving being the two wings of prayer, we discuss why parishes should do away with the annual stewardship clarion call of Time, Talent, and Treasure and replace it with something more useful, practical, and real. And lastly, Walter joins us one last time to play a 1980's Movie Theme Song Game before he moves out of the house and back to Georgia.

ADV #244: A Weird Place

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 18:53:11 +0000

We start off talking about the significance of 244 episodes and how the last time we met this milestone, it was the end of an important era for us. We then discuss the weirdness of being sandwiched between raising our own children, and having to care for an elderly parent. And lastly, in celebration of our 23rd Wedding Anniversary, and in light of our recent revelations about needing more fun in our lives, Greg surprises Jennifer with a game to test her own knowledge of trivia about things that have actually happened to US.

ADV #243: Better Than Donuts

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 01:04:34 +0000

We discuss the mysterious way that grace builds upon grace, allowing us to more actively participate in deeper spiritual activities such as fasting, daily Mass, and praying the Rosary. And after several weeks on a new supplement regimen, Greg shares not only the state of his health after this year's battles, but also more insight to the benefit of confronting those who have directly hurt us, and the need to constantly strive to forgive. And lastly, we talk about the latest updates with our plans to relocate back to Georgia. It's amazing how much can happen in a single week!

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 20:41:13 +0000

It's Not a Tumor This week's show kicks off with a conversation about how well we've indoctrinated our children to appreciate classic movies, as well as continually introduce them to highly quotable movies. Speaking of great quotes, we also explain why we were so incredibly proud of our son Walter for the awesome movie quote he chose for his senior yearbook quote. Greg's New Amino Acid Protocol We were a day late in recording because Greg got a wee bit queasy from the amino acid nutrients he's started taking to build up his neurotransmitters. We discussed the first day of taking TWENTY-FIVE pills (!) and what our hopes are going forward with this new therapy. Jennifer's Whirlwind Colorado Trip And lastly, Jennifer recounts her excellent visit back to Colorado and some much-needed mother/son time with our oldest child, Sam. They hit up a concert (check out the artwork Sam did for the band, Aloris), saw some old friends, hiked so much that Jennifer sprained her ankle, and visited three different churches.

Desperately Seeking Truth

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 20:29:39 +0000

Happiness On Demand FREE Course NOW AVAILABLE To start off this week's show, we're super excited to announce that registration for our brand new FREE video course, Happiness On Demand, is now open for a limited time! In this course we'll challenge you to ask if happiness can be "on demand" or controlled, and show you how greater happiness leads to greater success in your relationships, work, and personal life. Greater happiness makes it possible for us to do things we never knew we were capable of. We'll show you how to get more happiness in life through simple tools and exercised that result in huge changes. Voicemail No More We kick off the show by sadly saying goodbye to our voicemail line. After many years of service, it just got too pricy and too problematic. Going forward, if you'd like to share your beautiful voice with us, just record a message on your phone or computer and email it to us at feedback@gregandjennifer.com. Cardinal McCarrick Resignation Next, we share the news about Cardinal McCarrick's resignation over the weekend, and what that means for the laity going forward. In a nutshell, the Church needs cleaning. But as always, we need to start with ourselves. How much do we allow ourselves to be challenged? How much do we question if the "truths" we hold are actually true, or if they're just things we'd like to be true? Books That Changed Our Lives We wrap up the show by sharing some of the books that have changed our lives, and the reasons why. Next week we'll continue this discussion by diving into the specific faith-based books that made the biggest impact. The books we mentioned this week include: NON-FICTION BOOKS Hemingway: A Life without Consequences by James Mellow Jeff Herman's Guide to Publisher's, Editors, and Literary Agents (2000 edition) Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey NOVELS (Both Fiction and Historical) Lay Seige to Heaven by Louis de Wohl Empire strikes back novelization The Little Friend by Donna Tartt Watership Down by Richard Adams Replay by Ken Grimwood The World According to Garp by John Irving Happiness On Demand FREE Course NOW AVAILABLE Don't forget to sign up right away!

Pulling Weeds in the Church

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 23:14:22 +0000

Revisiting the controversial topic of Cardinal McCarrick, we go full-throttle in this episode as we candidly share some of the ugliness in Church leadership from an insider's view having worked for Archdioceses and other organizations over the past decade. In doing so, we wrestle with when it's prudent and helpful to challenge Church leadership and when is it spiteful and hurtful. From there, we give an honest update on how things are going with our family during our transition to working for ourselves full-time, and the difficulties that go along with it, which lead to our asking two pointed questions at the end of the show: If we could teach you how to do ONE thing, what would you want us to teach you (either both of us together, or separately)? If we could make ONE non-churchy product (i.e., no Bible studies, etc.), what would you want us to make that you'd actually pay for? Leave your comments below and let us know!

Addressing Cultural Appropriation

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:10:17 +0000

Jennifer has been diving deeply into Dr. Brant Pitre's book, The Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, which has lead to more frequent daily Mass attendance for both Greg and Jennifer. The discussion of the book swerved into the more sensitive topic of cultural appropriation, and the modern-day difficulty of appreciating other cultures without accidentally offending those to who the culture belongs. Lastly, Lily's interest in cross country has provided inspiration for perseverance both in health as well as our faith lives.

The Miracle of Parkinson's Disease

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 19:00:43 +0000

On this week's show we're joined by our old buddy, Michael McCaughey, who we became great friends with during the first year of our marriage. Greg and Michael first met at a network gaming party in 1995 and shortly thereafter they shared adjacent cubes while working at LOTUS software's tech support division. Over the next few years the three of us went to tons of concerts, movies, and even vacation together. Michael was the first person to ever encourage us to go into business for ourselves. As we started having kids and moved to another part of Atlanta, our visits with Michael became fewer and farther between. Then, around 2008, Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Over the next several years we lost contact with each other for various reasons, finally reconnecting last fall. During the intervening years, Michael sought non-traditional ways to not only overcome his Parkinson's, but discovered groundbreaking ways of addressing a multitude of neurological disorders including depression, anxiety, and more. Given the way our 2018 has been, it's been a Godsend to have Michael back in our lives. And for the 4th of July, Michael came to visit us and meet some of our children for the first time. On this episode we share Michael's medical miracles, his regained health after being completely disabled by Parkinson's, and his quest to help others battling neurological challenges.

ADV #230: Jennifer's Obstinance

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 01:09:23 +0000

What started as a conversation about the difficulty of keeping up with mowing the grass in Indiana turned into a deep dive into what it means to completely surrender yourself to Jesus through Mary, which in turn brought up those perennial Catholic questions: How is Mary a model for us? Why do Catholics pray to Mary? Why not just go straight to Jesus? By looking at our relationship with Mary, we further talked about how God is taking us deeper into better understanding our own need for greater humility and trust in our current circumstances of trying to build up a business. Along with all that, we also share how much fun we had creating our new co-producer video. Want to be a Co-Producer? Check out the video at http://www.patreon.com/gregandjennifer to learn how!

ADV #222: When Greg Met Jennifer

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 20:01:45 +0000

When Greg met Jennifer, we were both were somewhat lost. We'd gone through traumatic childhood events (that we talk about publicly for the first time on this episode). We'd had bad breakups and disappointments, as well as a few successes. But once we got married, nothing could prepare us for the unpredictability of the next two decades. Episode 222 is a perfect place for longtime listeners to revisit past stories, while also being a perfect episode for brand new listeners to the show. We walk you through the highlights and low period of our lives together, and hopefully leave you seeing more of the gift of your own life.

ADV #220: Fully Vested

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 19:47:46 +0000

After the last several months of "self-improvement projects," we've questioned if we've been fully vested in the past in truly living out our lives to the fullest. Feeling somewhat dissatisfied and restless with the status quo, we've begun looking at some of our own limiting beliefs and negative attitudes, which are sometimes directed right back at ourselves. By looking at Matthew 25 and the Parable of the Servants and how they invested (or didn't invest) their own talents, we've been newly motivated to inventory how God has blessed us, to re-evaluate our attitudes, and to be fully invested in our marriage, in our relationships, and in the way we serve others. In this episode, we dive into all of these things and more, and come out excited and ready to truly invest what God has given us so we can give even more back to Him.

TCND #052: Be a Spiritual Leader

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 01:15:24 +0000

Greg shares what it's like to give a sex talk about Natural Family Planning in front of his parents, Mac Barron calls in to actually complement Greg, and Greg and Jennifer answer questions for a book about how husbands and wives can be a spiritual leader for each other and their children. Some of the questions we discussed include: Key differences in spiritual leadership roles between husbands and wives. What should a husband's/father's leadership role look like? What should a wife's/mother's leadership role look like? Ways that husbands and wives can work together to balance their roles as spiritual leaders in your household. What can couples do when they feel like they are 'stepping on one another's toes' when it comes to one another's spiritual duties? How does our Catholic faith enlighten us in regard to how husbands can best spiritually lead their families and what role the husband and wife has in spiritual leadership?

On this very special episode of The Catholics Next Door, another mobile cast! This time, Greg and Jennifer drive around their former stomping grounds in Conyers, Georgia (where they lived for almost 15 years) and give you a soundseeing tour of areas they used to see every day -- including their old house! Why the trip back? Well, Greg was invited to Atlanta to speak at the 19th Eucharistic Congress, and the whole family went with him. In addition to speaking at the Congress, it was also an opportunity to see both Greg's and Jennifer's parents, as well as for everyone to visit with old friends. Other topics discussed in this episode include the strangeness of automatic recall of roadmaps, dealing with forgotten memories, and more! .

TCND #045: Drawing a Line

greg@rosaryarmy.com (Greg and Jennifer Willits) — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:30:35 +0000

As soon as we finished recording this episode, Jennifer started crying. In some ways, recording this episode reminded us of a podcast episode we recorded in January 2007 after making a huge, life-changing decision. In that episode we shared with you all the backstory that went into our decision for me (Greg) to leave my career in the IT Industry and go full-time working for the Catholic Church through the Rosary Army and SQPN apostolates. It was a terrifying decision to make, but once we made it and shared it with you, we had a great peace. For several months now (and possibly longer than that), we've been struggling with another decision we knew needed to be made. In this episode, we share that decision with you. Additionally, we talk about our Sam's first experience seeing Lindsey Sterling at his very first concert, and Greg shares the three things he believes are necessary for success in any endeavor, whether it be work, faith, or family.
