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.

Eric Sammons gives us plenty to meditate on with his new book, Who Do You Say I Am? Unlocking the 24 Titles Given to Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. In it, Eric explains how Christ's contemporaries ascribed to Him many names and titles, and each represents a ray of light that brings us to a clearer understanding of our Savior. He was called Nazarene, Shepherd, Physician, Son of God, Christ, Lord, and Rabbi. All told, Jesus was given twenty-four names in St. Matthew's Gospel — and each holds a key to unlocking the mysteries of Christ's life. If you're looking for a completely new access point for coming to know and love Jesus, this book is for you. In this episode of Adventures in Imperfect Living, Rosary Army founders Greg and Jennifer Willits talk with Eric about the Gospel of Matthew and how we can rediscover the beauty and wonders of Scripture to help us grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ. Plus we talk about Crisis Magazine, events in the Church, and Cincinnati commonalities including Graeter's ice cream, Skyline Chili, and more. Eric Sammons is the Editor-in-Chief of Crisis Magazine and the author of nine books, including a book on Catholic evangelization and a book on religious indifference. He has contributed over 150 articles to numerous websites, including Catholic Answers, OnePeterFive, Crisis Magazine, and The Federalist. He and his wife have seven children and live in Ohio.
