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

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

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

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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,...

RA #952: The Ultimate Prayer Group show art RA #952: The Ultimate Prayer Group

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

RA #950: This Is Why Everything Feels Difficult show art RA #950: This Is Why Everything Feels Difficult

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

RA #949: Ready for Marian Consecration? Start Here show art RA #949: Ready for Marian Consecration? Start Here

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

RA #948: Don’t Leave the Vacuum Empty show art RA #948: Don’t Leave the Vacuum Empty

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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...

Rosary Army Catholic Podcast

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. •  FREE DOWNLOAD: ! 🙏🏻 BUY GREG'S NEW BOOK - God Doesn't Hate Me After All:...
