Patrick brings listeners into the heart of unpredictable conversations, shifting from practical advice on handling road rage to memories of Catholic family life and thoughtful, faith-driven discussions about choosing grad schools and understanding Church traditions. He fields calls from listeners wrestling with questions about spiritual joy, church etiquette, and even heated issues like politically motivated church nativity displays, always punctuated with humor, personal anecdotes, and honesty.

 
Email - I am a junior at a public university, majoring in psychology. I have a friend who is a school social worker and she had to take LGBTQ ally training as a condition of her employment. Also, from my research, many graduated social work programs are rife with LGBTQ inclusion training. Help me discern what to do. (01:51)
Homer (email) - Why doesn't the Pope encourage more Latin Rite Catholics to have their children baptized in the Eastern Rites, so the rites can increase their populations? (05:05)
Javier - How do you handle people when they cut you off in traffic. How can I be a Christian driver? (09:37)
Alfredo - My life is 6 degrees of Patrick Madrid. Everyone just keeps mentioning you. (19:38)
Ted - You were talking about Road Rage and sitting at the end of the pew. I am the guy sitting at the end of the pew. When am I being rude? Also, is our Holy Mother also the Holy Spirit? (25:16)
Rod - Do you have any thoughts on the Church that replaced its Nativity set with an 'ICE Was Here' sign? (35:26)
Joe - If you could rewrite scripture, would you include joy in Ephesians 6? (41:07)
Maria - My husband doesn't want to be married anymore. Priest told me it was time to give up and move on. (46:06)

Patrick takes raw, heartfelt questions as callers lay out struggles with marriage, faith, and confusion about Catholic traditions, with one wife seeking hope and direction, another wanting clarity on the Pope’s true role, and another yearning for a way to reach her unbelieving friend. Questions spark honest, sometimes surprising answers as Patrick guides each conversation with candor and compassion.

 
Patrick continues his conversation with Maria from the end of the last hour. Her husband wants a divorce, and my priest said it was time to move on. (00:48)
Mary - Is the 'hour of grace’ approved by the Catholic Church? (17:59)
Wyatt (6-years-old) - Why did God sacrifice himself for us? (22:09)
Jillian - How do I explain the role of the Pope to non-Catholics? (25:47)
Frank - How should my friend approach her friend to come back to belief? (36:57)
Jamie (email) - Don't say that the orthodox church did not exist back then when the Greed was written. (43:45)
Margo (email) - I understand the church's position on birth control, up to a point. Aren't some people just plain not cut out to be parents? Not everyone is cut out to be a priest, not everyone is suited to being doctors or lawyers or anything else. Why should parenthood be any different? (46:58)
