The Patrick Madrid Show: October 14, 2026 – Hour 1

Patrick Madrid fills the hour with memorable calls that linger because they pose earnest questions, voice honest objections, or express deep gratitude for renewed faith. Listeners hear from a Protestant pastor studying Catholic teaching, a seeker grappling with the Church’s stance on contraception, and a parent wrestling with prayer’s power. Alongside profound discussions on sacraments and God’s knowledge, Patrick brings an emotional testimony of healing after heartbreak and shares practical guidance on spiritual renewal, confession, and indulging in God’s mercy.
