The Patrick Madrid Show: March 24, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick explores faith’s practical questions through honest listener interactions, offering ways to handle suffering and confession, even as he gently challenges assumptions about spiritual maturity and everyday life. He addresses marriage struggles, the pain of regret, and the hope found in sacramental practices, always weaving in wisdom from Catholic tradition and lived experience. Queries about family, intention in prayer, and different Catholic rites receive thoughtful, sometimes surprising responses that linger well beyond the broadcast.
