Rosary Army Catholic Podcast
(Formerly Adventures in Imperfect Living) - From Rosary Army to The Catholics Next Door to Adventures in Imperfect Living, Rosary Army co-founders Greg and Jennifer Willits have been pioneers in Catholic podcasts since 2005. Funny, inspiring, and thought-provoking, they share their efforts to deepen their Catholic faith, raise a family, and live out Rosary Army's motto to Make Them. Pray Them. Give Them Away.

We talk with Marcie Stokman and Margherita Vezzani about restoring family meals, choosing relationship over perfection, and what ordinary tables can teach us.

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...
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.
We finally did something we should have done a long time ago, and we were reminded that getting away is often how God reveals what He wants for our lives. After almost three long years, we visited our oldest son and his wife.

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 con...
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.
