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

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. 🙏🏻 LINKS: • Video Version of This Episode • Benedictine College • Sr. Deirdre Byrne's Commencement Address • Soul Supply Catholic Bookstore 🙏🏻 FREE STUFF: • Free All-Twine-Knotted Rosaries • School of Mary • Audio Rosaries 🙏🏻 ROSARY ARMY CATHOLIC PODCAST: • SPOTIFY • APPLE PODCASTS 🙏🏻 MORE FROM GREG AND JENNIFER/ROSARY ARMY: • Rosary Army Mobile App • Greg's serialized novel 🙏🏻 CONTACT & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: feedback@rosaryarmy.com 🙏🏻 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Kansas Trip and Benedictine Graduation 01:00 - Ben's Journey Through College 03:00 - Regret, Jealousy, and the Virtue We’re Missing 06:00 - Wanting the Prize Without the Pain 09:00 - Gratitude and Friendships at Benedictine 11:00 - Letting Go to Let God Lead 12:00 - Jesus in Our Past: Redeeming Regret 13:00 - Why We’re Following Pope Leo XIV’s Messages 20:00 - Building a New Wave of Evangelization 26:00 - Anxiety, the Holy Spirit, and Choosing Trust #rosary #catholic #podcast #catholicpodcast
