Summary
Patrick brings together stories of faith, purpose, and the journey of retirement, all layered with listeners’ honest struggles and deep yearning for spiritual connection. He confronts the pain of exclusion after trauma in the Church, offering listeners real direction and compassion from a place that aches for healing. Questions about living the faith, volunteering, voicing concerns about parish life, and decisions on family planning get met with both challenge and hope, leaving space for both vulnerability and grace.
- Cindy (email) - Retirement isn't evil. It's just what you do with it. (00:29)
- Marybeth - I was able to retire at 52. I'd like to talk about how God allows us this time so we can pray more and minister to the needy. (01:18)
- Johnny - Yesterday at Mass, the priest was promoting a LGBTQ celebration. I asked him after 'Why are you promoting sin?' (05:58)
- Ed - I'm 80. You need to keep busy and stay active in the faith. Keep doing things as long as your body allows you. (11:44)
- Sandy - I'm working part time at a library. I feel we are social worker. We can still make a difference in the world and at work (16:43)
- Olivia - How would someone find the right community when some parishes seem exclusionary? It's been very difficult for me. (20:33)
- Maria – My 18-year-old son is very dedicated to the faith, but he feels like God is not responding to him. What advice can I give him? (38:05)
- Joseph - Marital abstinence: my wife and I are open to life but there are some health things we'd like to take care of first. What does the Church teach? (42:41)
- No, Natural Family Planning Is Not Contraception – By Patrick Madrid - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/why-natural-family-planning-is-not
- Elizabeth – Woundedness: I had similar situation to previous caller, Olivia. I want to give that young lady support. We can't judge the whole Church on one bad man. (49:24)
