Why Six Moms Gathered to Pray the Rosary
2026/09/07
Jennifer invited Catholic mothers to our house to pray the Rosary for their teenagers, while Greg considers how God uses supposed failures, long-built skills (once thought trivial), and unexpected opportunities to do more for the Kingdom. --- After seeing Catholic mothers (including herself) often struggling with how to raise holy teenagers in a Godless culture, Jennifer took a risk and invited local Catholic moms into our home to pray the Rosary. At the first gathering, six women arrived.  It was small, but it was awesome, and it offered a glimpse of how even the tiniest local Rosary groups could grow. For the gathering, Greg was motivated to finish his long-in-development Rosary meditation booklet, which brings together all 20 mysteries, Scripture, and St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's meditations.  Years of seemingly unrelated work may have prepared him for all of this. Plus, a listener's question about ministry and fiction widens the discussion into how God uses our gifts, redirects old dreams (and sometimes failures), and opens the right doors at the right time.

Is Your To-Do List Getting in God's Way?
2026/08/20
Greg and Jennifer question crowded schedules, endless to-do lists, and whether planning less can leave more room to recognize and follow God's will. ___ Greg and Jennifer have spent years trying to simplify their lives, yet slowing down can still feel like failure. A passage from Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks gets them talking about the pressure to stay productive, keep up with everyone else, and fill every open hour. Greg explains why he now limits his daily list instead of chasing the next task. Jennifer talks about the good that can come from an empty schedule or even a feeling of emptiness. That space may be necessary if they want to hear what God is actually asking of them. One teacher's yearly gift of handmade rosaries has already reached hundreds of children and could keep changing families for years.

It's So Easy to Be Ready to Die
2026/08/06
After musician Glen Hansard's sudden death and Greg's recent talk about God's love, we tackle the sobering question of being ready for eternity. ___ Just a few days after giving a talk in Texas about God's love and mercy, one of Greg's favorite musicians suddenly died in a tragic motorcycle accident.  As a result, we find ourselves grieving someone we never personally met. Glen Hansard's death raises a larger question: why do people so quickly assume someone is in heaven instead of praying for the dead? We also talk about Catholics who intentionally withheld sins in confession because of shame and explain that preparing to die can be as simple as making a full confession, receiving God's mercy, and staying close to the sacraments. And ultimately, we come to the realization that Rosary Army's work is meant to help people die well.

Jennifer's Hare-Raising Adventure
2026/07/23
Jennifer spent the morning helping two friends process rabbits for food and came home with new respect for homesteading, shared work, and what God provides. ___ Jennifer spent the morning helping two Catholic friends process rabbits for food. She wanted to know whether she could handle the work after years of watching survival shows from the couch. Greg has loved rabbits since childhood and has never wanted to eat one.  That may now change.  Or it may not. They talk plainly about dispatching, cleaning, butchering, and preparing the rabbits, along with the work behind the homesteading life and God's plan for feeding us. Jennifer also found something she did not expect: three Catholic women working with their hands while talking about their children, the Rosary, and local community. She came home grateful for the food, the friendship, and the people willing to do this work.

RA #963: Stacks of Books Everywhere
2026/07/09
We share the books we're currently reading, from Dungeon Crawler Carl and Dog Stars to Rosary Meditations from Ven. Mary Agreda and St. Thérèse. ___ Greg has always loved books, while Jennifer came to reading later, once trying to make herself literary with Voltaire and Macbeth before pretty much reading only Anne Rice and John Grisham. They talk about high school books, why old titles follow us into adulthood, and how reading changes over a lifetime. Greg shares his current mix of serious, spiritual, and simple reading, including Oliver Burkeman, Arthur C. Brooks, Dungeon Crawler Carl, I Believe in Love, and more. Jennifer talks about going deeper into mental prayer with the rosary, using meditations from The Mystical City of God, and why Christy has become her slow nighttime read.

Thoughts After Our First Rosary Army Retreat
2026/06/25
We talk through the first Rosary Army retreat, what surprised us, what worked, and why we're not quite ready to decide yet if there will be another one. _______ We're home from the first Rosary Army retreat, still tired, processing, and not making any big decisions. We talk about the beauty of the retreat center, the talks, the food, the people who came, and the difference between wanting something bigger and realizing smaller might just have been exactly right. We also talk about what it was like to have our teenage daughter with us for this weekend, the impact of silent Eucharistic Adoration, and why personal encounters mattered so much.

Is This Why Reverence Is Disappearing?
2026/06/11
After a bad experience in the confessional, we felt the need to finally speak up about some things we've been witnessing in parishes that really need to stop. When priests and laypeople stop treating liturgy and the sacraments with the seriousness they deserve, people lose faith, reverence gets watered down, and sacred things begin to feel ordinary. That should never happen. We talk about confession, the Eucharist, changed words at Mass, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, lay blessings during Communion, and the need for priests to model reverence for the people they serve.

A Worthy Dwelling Place for God
2026/05/31
A prayer from St. Louis de Montfort that you'll want to start praying every time you go to Mass, a Tale of Two Old Chairs, and an unexpected e-mail about Greg's book brought about a long-forgotten reconnection after almost 35 years. Rosary Army 2026 Retreat - Register for our first in-person retreat before June 5 Prayer Greg shared in this episode: Prayer During Holy Communion According to St. Louis Marie de Montfort Adapted from True Devotion #267-269 by Rosary Army founder Greg Willits, wherein St. Louis de Montfort recommends that, "after the Our Father, when you are about to receive our Lord, say to him three times the prayer, 'Lord I am not worthy,'" while meditating on the following: _________________________________________________________________________ God, my loving Father, because of my evil thoughts and ingratitude toward you, I am not worthy to receive Your only begotten Son, Jesus, in the most Holy Eucharist.  But here with me is Mary, Your handmaid as well as my mother and queen, who acts on my behalf and whose presence gives me a special confidence and hope in You.  Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. (Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.) Lord Jesus, Eternal Wisdom, because of my useless and evil words, and my carelessness in Thy service, I am not worthy to receive Thee, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist.  But nevertheless, I beg of You Thy mercy.  Have pity on me because I shall usher Thee into the house of Thy mother and mine, and I will not let You go until You have made it Your home.  I implore You to rise and come to the place of Your repose and the ark of Your sanctification, which is Mary.  Like Esau, I have no faith or confidence in my own merits, strength, and preparedness.  But as Jacob had trust in his mother, Rebecca, I do have confidence in Mary, Your mother.  Although I am a great sinner, I still presume to approach Thee, supported by Thy holy Mother and adorned with her merits and virtues.  Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. (Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.) Holy Spirit, because of my lukewarmness, wickedness, and resistance to Thy inspirations, I am not worthy to receive the masterpiece of Thy love in the most Holy Eucharist.  Nonetheless, I put all my confidence in Mary, Thy faithful spouse, and say with St. Bernard, "She is my greatest safeguard, the whole foundation of my hope."  I beg Thee to once again overshadow Mary, Thy inseparable spouse, whose womb is as pure and her heart as ardent as ever.  If you do not enter my soul, neither Jesus nor Mary will be formed there, nor will my soul be a worthy dwelling for them. Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. (Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.)

Someone Always Needs a Rosary
2026/05/06
Jennifer shares what happened when she gave a rosary to a stranger at a concert, and Greg talks through a simple way to pray the Rosary more deeply with Scripture. --- After last week's conversation with Gabriel Castillo, a lot of new people found Rosary Army, started commenting, and began sharing their own stories of prayer, confession, and returning to the faith. Greg and Jennifer begin by welcoming those new listeners and pointing back to Rosary Army's original mission: Make Them. Pray Them. Give Them Away. Jennifer then tells the story of taking extra rosaries to a concert and feeling prompted to give one to a stranger who was visibly moved during a difficult song. That moment leads Greg back to the early days of Rosary Army, the importance of always having rosaries ready to share, and a practical way he has been praying the Rosary with Scripture as a kind of "soundtrack" for meditating on the life of Christ.

The Power of the Rosary (ft. Gabriel Castillo)
2026/04/26
Gabriel Castillo joins Greg and Jennifer to talk about The Power of the Rosary, the real fight for holiness, and why calling on Mary is needed now more than ever to fight the evil in this world. Gabriel Castillo, known online as GabiAfterHours, joins Greg and Jennifer for a conversation that goes in so many incredible and unexpected directions. Before discussing his book The Power of the Rosary, Gabriel shares how Rosary Army's early audio rosaries and videos shaped his prayer life, ministry, and desire to use media for the faith. The conversation tackles desolation, sin, confession, spiritual attack, Saint Louis de Montfort, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, the Luminous Mysteries, and the family Rosary. Truly, one of the best episodes we've ever recorded!

Just Do the Thing Already!
2026/04/12
Greg and Jennifer talk about the fear of making mistakes and small practical steps that can help you finally move forward. It's easy to stall out when you are afraid of doing the wrong thing. This fear constantly resurfaces for us.  In our current home, one room has left us stuck in analysis paralysis for over seven years. But the issue is not just finding the right furniture or even diving into a confusing remodel construction. The problem is always waiting until we think we have all the answers before actually taking action.  And because we rarely have all the answers, there are many projects not only left uncompleted, but not even started.  And that's just stupid. So how do we overcome that?  And how have we started making so much more progress in recent months?  We share what has helped break that pattern, both in Rosary Army and at home.  It's not just one thing that solved the problem, but several, small, simple solutions. The whole conversation circles this main question: what good thing have you delayed because you are too afraid to begin?  And what can you do to get it done already? Join us on our upcoming Rosary Army Retreat!
