The Patrick Madrid Show: July 22, 2026 – Hour 3

Patrick opens the hour talking about music genres, wrestling with the complex relationship between heavy metal, virtue, and personal taste, then shifts rapidly to heartfelt calls on food addiction and the tension between faith, practical steps, and deliverance prayers. Unexpectedly, the conversation veers toward rules for Catholic godparents and the emotional wrestle of regret over old sins. An unexpected question about Mary Magdalene and the meaning behind Jesus’ “don’t touch me” keeps the energy unpredictable till the end.
