The Patrick Madrid Show: January 05, 2025 – Hour 2

Patrick moves freely between theology, real-life anecdotes, and practical Catholic traditions—sometimes with sharp humor, sometimes with gentle clarity. Patrick keeps the pace lively while never losing sight of honest faith and relatable dialogue.
