The Patrick Madrid Show: May 11, 2026 – Hour 2

Patrick launches Relevant Radio’s Spring Pledge Drive in a swirl of prayer, gratitude, and urgent appeals, all while weaving listener calls into conversations about confession, authentic Church teaching, and the wild claims that pop up online. Questions about the Book of Enoch, responsible approaches to family planning, and choosing saints’ names for children come alive—so do quick guides to trustworthy Bible translations and free Catholic study resources.
