Our lives have been hectic the last two months, with adult children moving in and out and other unexpected challenges, including dealing with a young adult son who stopped going to Mass.     EPISODE 479 SHOWNOTES &amp; LINKS   Watch full video here - https://youtu.be/tKjExdsjIjM     🙏🏻 Free Rosary, audio Rosaries, and more   😄 Support Rosary Army   📺  Full Episodes   🍎  Listen on Apple (and leave a review!)   🔊  Listen on Spotify   👀 Greg's serialized novel   ☎ Upload audio and video feedback via WeTransfer   📧  Email feedback   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   This week's episode of Adventures in Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast, titled "When Life Gets Overwhelming," delves into the rollercoaster of events that have consumed our lives over the past two months. It has been a period filled with constant change and unexpected challenges, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate through it all.   But God knows that path.     One of the significant factors contributing to this whirlwind of chaos has been the comings and goings of our young adult children. As they transition in and out of our home, we find ourselves adjusting to the ever-changing dynamics and trying to provide them with the support they need while also maintaining our own sense of balance. The constant flux of their presence sometimes creates a sense of instability, making it challenging to find a semblance of routine or normalcy.     However, amidst the flurry of activity, one particular challenge has been particularly heartbreaking for us to face as devout Catholics. Our young adult son, who once embraced his faith and attended Mass regularly, has abruptly stopped attending Mass. This revelation has left us grappling with a mixture of emotions, ranging from concern and disappointment to sadness and confusion. We are left questioning what may have triggered this change, our own culpability, and how we can help him rediscover his faith and reconnect with the spiritual nourishment that Mass provides.     As we share our experiences and reflections in this episode, we open up about the emotions and struggles we have faced in the midst of these overwhelming circumstances in the hopes that you’ll be encouraged should you find yourself in similar circumstances. We explore the impact that this tumultuous period has had on our own faith journey, as we attempt to balance our parental role with our desire to guide our son back to the path of faith.     Through candid conversations and heartfelt insights, we delve into the various strategies we have explored to address the challenges we face. We discuss seeking support from our faith community, engaging in open and honest dialogue with our son, and embracing a sense of surrender and trust in God's plan.     Listeners will find solace in the relatability of our experiences, as we acknowledge the vulnerability and imperfections that come with navigating through overwhelming seasons of life. We offer words of encouragement and solidarity, reminding our audience that they are not alone in their struggles. We emphasize the importance of leaning on faith and fostering an atmosphere of love and acceptance within our families, even when faced with difficult circumstances.     "When Life Gets Overwhelming" serves as a reminder that life's challenges are a part of our human journey, but they do not necessarily define us. It is in these moments of overwhelming chaos that we have the opportunity to grow, to deepen our faith, and to strengthen the bonds within our family. Join us on this week's episode as we share our stories, offer insights, and strive to find peace amidst the storms of life.     #catholicpodcast #rosaryarmy #catholic #podcast #imperfectliving

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.
