Summary

Today we tackled the cornerstone of Christian faith—eyewitness testimony of Jesus Christ’s teachings and resurrection. We explored the willingness of early believers to face death for their convictions, offering irrefutable evidence of the truths they witnessed. We also discussed contemporary issues, navigating the decisions around home births and the ongoing debate over the two-state solution in Israel. Harrison, a listener in search of ways to defend his faith, was guided towards enriching resources and community engagement at the Newman center. In heartfelt exchanges, we helped Joe with spiritual guidance on facing his brother’s illness, and eased Jane's concerns about reverence in church. Join our family of listeners and tap into a wealth of insight, comfort, and unexpected conversation, right here on The Patrick Madrid Show.

Harrison (email) – Most of my college friends are not Catholics and I am often challenged about my faith. I’m asked, “How do you know what you believe is true?”
Roberta - I had a home birth and it went well.
John - I heard about a two state solution for Israel. The land was given to Abraham as an eternal covenant, so it should be the Israelites. (19:23)
Fr. Bill - Regarding Eye Witness faith: I think that the bible itself talks about the Gospel being based on eye witness accounts.
Steve - Regarding the student who talks about the Catholic faith: I have learned two things from your show. 1. The Church goes back to Jesus. 2. every other church is connected with the Catholic Church in some way, even if its them opposing it.
Joe – My brother, who has stage 4 cancer, is hesitant to come back into the Church. What can I give him to help him back?
Patrick recommends “The Art of Dying Well” by St. Robert Bellarmine
Jane - What is appropriate behavior during adoration?
Jenny - I went to the history of the bible museum in Washington, DC and it was so informative. I think it would help people wanting to know about their Christian roots.

0:18.9	One thing I can promise is this will be a placenta-free hour on the Patrick Madrid show.

0:29.3	Okay. Have a note here. By the way, 888-914-9-149. That number is sponsored by Catholic Order of
0:36.3	Foresters. 888-914-9-149. That number is sponsored by Catholic Order of Foresters. 888-914-9149. I've gotten a ton of emails about
0:42.7	the placenta thing, so I think we've, I think it's run the course. Here's a note that comes in from
0:50.2	Harrison. Harrison says, Patrick, I'm a senior at Ohio State University. I picked up listening to your show from my dad, who's a daily listener. I recently transferred to Ohio State, and most of my friends here are not Catholic. Those that aren't, and those who are Catholic are not practicing Catholics. I've recently found this to be more challenging
1:11.7	and often face many questions about my faith and why I believe the things I do. One question I came
1:18.1	across is, how do you know your beliefs are true when there are so many different religions
1:23.4	existing in the world? What is a good way I can answer this also? Any recommendations for books
1:28.5	about defending our faith would be appreciated. Thanks Harrison. You got it, Harrison. I appreciate that.
1:33.7	And by the way, first thing I'd like to suggest is that you get plugged in at the Newman Center
1:38.3	chapel on the Ohio State campus. They have daily mass. Actually, I think they've got more than one mass
1:44.5	each day, confessions, excellent priests of the diocese who are there, some Dominican friars are there,
1:52.4	and it's a really good place to nourish your faith and receive the sacrament. So that's the Newman Center
1:57.2	on the Ohio State campus in beautiful downtown Columbus, Ohio. So check that out.
2:03.8	Now, as far as this challenge, how do you know your beliefs are true? Well, I understand
2:09.4	there's just sort of a superficial plausibility to think that, well, everybody claims to know
2:15.2	the truth. Everybody claims that their truth is the truth so
