Patrick welcomes listeners into a whirlwind of raw, real-life questions, from family wounds laid bare, forgiveness clung to by a thread, to faith decisions that ripple through generations. He fields everything from praying the Rosary during Mass to whether a “paper divorce” for insurance savings crosses the moral line, all while sharing stories of conversion and hope, like the grateful mother calling in with a baby in her arms. In these calls, Patrick moves through uncertainty and grace with a steady, honest voice, constantly challenging assumptions as he weighs Scripture, Church teaching, and the joy of lived experience.

• Brandon – I had to disclose a family secret and this has caused a hug rift. How can I forgive my family members? Should I reestablish contact or keep them cut off? (00:48)
• Aaron – I am struggling with the idea of where babies go when they are not born whether aborted or miscarried or still born. What happens to that? Do you have any comforting words? (11:30)
• Cayden – I was approached by a woman after mass who told me that I wasn’t allowed to pray the Rosary during Mass. Is this true? (20:10)
• Jessica – I want to give you an update on the birth of my baby. You helped me and gave me the advice not to tie my tubes. Thank you. This is the child you helped bring into the world. (23:12)
• Jim – I am a Protestant. I see that the reading of the Bible, coming from Vatican II by lay people, was a positive thing. Would you agree? (29:30)
• Gary – Can I receive the Eucharist as a non-Catholic at a Catholic Church? (36:24)
• Todd – I have heard that people in their 60s are engaging in civil divorce to keep healthcare costs down. Is it ok to get a civil divorce, yet remain married in the eyes of the Church? (45:23)
