The Patrick Madrid Show: September 17, 2026 – Hour 3

Patrick welcomes heartfelt calls from listeners seeking clarity on profound questions of faith, the permanence of choices beyond this life, and the hope of spiritual renewal. He listens to thoughtful struggles with family dynamics in interfaith marriages, ethical quandaries in education, the ongoing defense of life, and the complexity of suffering and God’s providence. Authentic gratitude and encouragement echo as Patrick offers wisdom rooted in Scripture, Church teaching, and genuine compassion, gently guiding those who feel distant back toward prayer, community, and trust.
