    Ivy Insights

    The Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast is a captivating and inspiring podcast that has had a profound impact on my faith journey. I have been a listener since their early days on XM, and Greg and Jennifer Willits have truly invigorated my faith. Their ability to discuss the Catholic faith in an engaging and relatable way has encouraged me to pray more, attend church regularly, and even create rosaries. The show is filled with insightful discussions on a variety of topics, making Catholicism fun in a humble way. Additionally, their monthly giving program showcases their dedication to spreading the message of the podcast. Overall, I highly recommend this podcast for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Catholicism and find joy in their faith.

    One of the best aspects of The Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast is the genuine and relatable nature of Greg and Jennifer's discussions. They openly share about their own struggles, joys, and experiences in a way that makes you feel like you are part of their family or close friends. This level of authenticity creates a sense of community among listeners and allows for meaningful conversations about various aspects of family life, personal growth, and faith. The show also provides valuable resources such as book recommendations, movie reviews, and updates on current events affecting Catholics.

    While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one potential downside is that it may not be easily accessible to newcomers. The hosts often refer to past episodes or inside jokes that long-time listeners are familiar with but could be confusing for new listeners. Additionally, some episodes may require prior knowledge or understanding of certain Catholic practices or beliefs. However, if you stick with it and start from earlier episodes, you will quickly catch up and become engrossed in the enriching content.

    In conclusion, The Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast is an exceptional show that offers an authentic glimpse into family life lived with a strong Catholic faith foundation. Greg and Jennifer Willits have created something truly special with this podcast, and their dedication to providing resources, encouragement, and relatable stories is commendable. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic or simply curious about the faith, this podcast will inspire and uplift you on your own journey of imperfect living.

    Hello everyone, Greg from Rosary Army and Adventures in Imperfect Living here. After a much-needed break, Jennifer and I are preparing to return to podcasting. We've already recorded our comeback episode, but I'm holding off on releasing it for a few weeks to build up a buffer of content. This break has been crucial for addressing several pressing issues and reassessing our production approach. We're making changes to our schedule and style to ensure long-term sustainability. While getting back into the routine has been challenging, we're committed to delivering content that meets your expectations. The past few months have been a time of discernment about how we can best serve Rosary Army and the future of this apostolate. We've been exploring how best to be good stewards of our mission. We'll share more about these reflections in our upcoming episodes. Thank you for your patience and continued support. We've received your messages, and I want to assure you that new shows are on the way. We're excited to reconnect with you all very soon. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate this new chapter.
