The Patrick Madrid Show: August 11, 2025 – Hour 1

Patrick opens with stories of youth forging emotional bonds with AI and explores the risks when imagination runs unchecked, especially for teens. He switches gears to offer heartfelt advice to parents wrestling with squirmy kids at Mass and takes on questions about healing through faith, recentering conversations around the Eucharist’s power. His insights stretch from digital dangers to the shockingly long reach of lightning, weaving technology, family, and unexpected science into a day’s broadcast.
