Email - Leanne: relying on God s a young adult

Email: Gloria - I'm afraid of trustting

Patrick - I've overcome addictions.

God's mercy will endure

 

(11:03) Fr. Ryan Brady joins Patrick to talk about Reliance on God.

 
(11:08) God works at a completely different schedule than we do.

 
(12:08) Car shopping is a great example and also very biblical.

 
(15:40) Patty - I am waiting and discovering God's way to help me with weight loss. 

 
(19:17) Email: Leanne - Relying on God as a young adult, cancer survivor.

 
Break 1

 
(23:58) Email: Gloria – I’m afraid of trusting the Lord.

 
(27:43) Patrick - Relevant Radio brought me back to the church 5 years ago. Also, I've overcome addictions and now am faced with a new challenge of leukemia. It's a new opportunity to evangelize.

 
Break 2

 
(40:23) God’s mercy will endure far longer than our desire to ask for it. Jesus relied on his friends and disciples to support his ministry. He was not alone. In your struggle talk to your priests and other faithful friends. Jesus humbled himself and relied on His Father in heaven and His friends on earth and the world was never the same.

How do we understand some of the euphemism tha

Deedee

What can Mary Magdalene teach us about friends

Here is a great encore from July 22, 2025

Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to Friendship with Christ
How can we have friendship with God?
(12:19) How do we understand some of the euphemism that saints use to describe their love for Christ?
(18:25) Bob - I once went to confession and told the priest I was having trouble getting angry with God over disappointments. Angry about it and yelling at God. Fr. told me you probably think I'll get down on you for getting angry with God, but you know God and trust him enough that you can get angry with Him and you can handle that. I was really moved by that. Relationship with God is everything.

(26:05) Break 1
Marsha - I'm a cradle Catholic. I've had a relationship with Jesus. The Baptists brought me into that relationship. They gave me a deeper dive into the intimacy with Christ. I hope they saw the beauty of the Catholic church.
How does interior life help us from our relationship with Jesus?
(40:40) Deedee - My relationship is one of a father and daughter. Trying to be friends with God is sacrilegious. Wouldn't there be a spiritual boundary of some sort? What does friendly speech sound like instead of prayer?
