RA #933: Why "Offer it Up" Still Matters
Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
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: • 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • • • 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • • 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • • 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: 🙏🏻 VIDEO CONTENTS 00:00 – Intro: “Offer It...

RA #932: Life After Midlife is Not What We Expected.
Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
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. Listen to the audio,...

RA #931: We Went to Kansas. It Brought Up a Lot.
Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
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...

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
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...

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

RA #927: Wait…That’s What Jesus Meant?
Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
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...

RA #926: The Beatitudes Explained: What Jesus Really Meant (Catholic Perspective)
Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
📖 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...
