“Relevant Radio Has Helped Me in Jail”: A Testimony of an Innocent Man (The Patrick Madrid Show)

On The Patrick Madrid Show, you’ll hear from Kaine, a listener who reached out from a place most of us can’t even imagine—county jail. Kaine’s story is one of struggle, redemption, and the surprising ways God works in our lives, even in the darkest corners.

Kaine, who’s currently awaiting trial for a crime he says he didn’t commit, opened up about the difficult journey that led him to this point. Life hasn’t been easy for him—born prematurely to a mother addicted to cocaine, Kaine was eventually convicted of a crime he didn’t do, and that shadow has followed him for decades. It’s led him down paths of depression, substance abuse, and broken relationships.

But here’s where the story takes a turn. While sitting in his jail cell, Kaine stumbled upon Relevant Radio. And something incredible happened—he found hope. Listening to Patrick Madrid and Cyrus reminded him of who he used to be, a proud altar boy ringing the bells at Mass, filled with Catholic pride. That spark of faith was reignited, and for the first time in a long time, Kaine felt like God had a plan for him again.

Patrick assured him that he’s not alone—God is right there with him, even in his cell. He also connected him with some great resources, like the St. Dismas Guild, a prison ministry, and the Cenacolo Community, which helps people struggling with addiction.

Kaine’s story is such a powerful reminder that God can reach us anywhere, even in the most unlikely places. For Kaine, Relevant Radio has become more than just something to listen to—it’s a lifeline that brought him back to the faith that once gave him so much joy.

So, let’s keep Kaine in our prayers. His journey is still unfolding, but his courage to share it with us is already inspiring. 🌟
