Patrick responds directly to listeners, offering guidance on spirituality, relationships, and daily challenges through heartfelt exchanges and practical wisdom. Questions range from Catholic teaching on end-of-life care and feeding tubes to the nuances of physical attraction in marriage, and the risks parents might encounter in family court or when trusting neighbors. Faith, experience, and a willingness to address the tough stuff keep the conversation real and, at times, unexpectedly moving.
