Patrick brings listeners into stories of kindness, community, and faith—an elderly caller’s struggle on a busy train, longing for compassion from strangers glued to their phones, and a conversation about longing for a path back to the Catholic Church. He urges acts of generosity, emphasizes listening before judging, and doesn’t shy away from wrestling with deep questions about suffering, tragedy, and trusting God’s mysterious will. Calls and emails reveal how even a moment of patience or an honest prayer can change lives, and Patrick keeps pressing forward with simple encouragement: keep going.

• Sandra – As 81-year-old, everyone is on their cellphones, and they won’t help me or make room for me to sit down. I don’t know what to do. (00:59)
• Jonathan (email) – I have recently been hired as a head coach for a boys’ varsity soccer team. After praying this morning, I came to a conclusion that I would like to give the option to my players and have a moment where we would pray the Our father prayer before the game, my thought is this would be optional and everyone has the choice to join for that moment of prayer or they could choose not to. Question to you is, is this good way to proceed since I may get back lash from the school or parents or would there be another way of doing this that would not rock the boat as much. My feeling is it may not go over well, but I would be willing to defend my position on this. (15:17)
• Suzanne (email) – I understand that Relevant Radio offers gifts to donors because in so doing, donations go up. From a materialistic and business perspective, I guess that makes sense. But from a Christian perspective, it doesn’t.
• Daniel (email) – I am so shaken by the news that a Northwest Airlines flight crashed in Detroit and the only survivor was a 4-year old little girl. Why, oh God, why would you let this happen?
• Joanne – AWARD for Sandra for speaking out as a Senior. Also, a young girl was evangelized in the laundry mat because of Relevant Radio (27:22)
• Kim – Deaf people need so much help for all things. Thank you for always helping this awareness. (40:09)
• Please don’t read my name (email) – Ushers should act as security (46:24)
