Are you wrestling with life's hardest questions, yearning for encouragement, or seeking real-world advice grounded in faith?

Patrick continues his conversation with Mary from the end of the previous hour. (00:21)
Amy - I had the same situation as Mary with my husband and I stayed close with Christ. We went through separation and he did go through recovery and he cleaned up his act. (07:01)
Brad - I am in a similar situation as Mary. Maybe she can get her adult kids to help with the situation? (10:25)
Patrick shares practical advice for helping keep your kids on the right track (18:00) 
George - I am going through the same situation accept I am in her husband's shoes. My advice is for the husband to fix it NOW. I work hard, but I had a drinking problem. I am going through a divorce now. (25:41)
Linda - Several years ago, my children stopped going to church when they went to college. I started texting them Catholic bits and now both of my kids are back in the Church. (34:06)

Are you unnerved by the idea of a cashless society? Today, Patrick ponders whether it's a step towards totalitarianism or just a change in currency mediums. He tackles the mark of the beast and privacy implications, discovering a balance between caution and freedom. In a world swamped with pessimism, Patrick shares advice on overcoming media-induced anxiety—counseling a focus on faith, family, hobbies, and unplugging from the news cycle.


Patrick shares a powerful scene from the movie Days of Wine and Roses where a husband admits to his wife that he’s an alcoholic and that she is too, and they need to stop drinking to survive
Steve - How many degrees of separation are needed to use deadly force to protect my family? (05:42)
Jorge - I need some guidance on everything that is happening in the world today and in our Church (25:46)
Joey - Killing out of self-defense: Do you think that counters what Thomas Aquinas said?
Francie - I would like to support the woman whose kids are fallen away. My children all fell away from the Church. I have been lukewarm Catholic but then I had a conversion and prayed really hard.
Tony - My kids do martial arts. When they walk into the dojo they bow before they enter and before they leave. We bow in Church so is it confusing for kids to bow before the master? (45:42)
Al - God does have an angry side to him. If the government decides to do digital currency, we have a right to defend ourselves.

Patrick delves into a humorous but thoughtful satire that questions the atheist viewpoint on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He explores why this theory of a hoax falls apart, highlighting the immense risks and gruesome sacrifices the apostles face to spread the word. Even if you're skeptical, understanding these perspectives can enrich your critical thinking.
