The Patrick Madrid Show: April 21, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick takes on parenting pressures, the hidden costs of daycare, and the vital heartbeat of attachment between parents and kids, sprinkling in heartfelt encouragement for stay-at-home moms. He fields a mix of listener calls about confronting sedevacantism, the validity of priests outside the Catholic Church, anxiety's modern bite, and the mystery of original sin, all while weaving in Scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical book suggestions.   Audio: Daycare - 'Parents don't realize that nurseries are day orphanages and warehouses for their children'. Child psychotherapist Erica Komisar says parents are being bullied and misled into believing that daycare is good for their children, arguing that nurseries are effectively 'day orphanages' that cannot provide babies with the same safety and security provided by their parents. (00:22) Aaron - My son's soccer coach is a practicing Catholic but found out he was part of a Sedevacantism sect. What is this? (03:21) Veronica (9-years-old) - Did Jesus always know he was God? (12:48) Audio: Jessie Buckley Oscar speech praising motherhood (19:46) Marty - I am school bus driver. Dash cams are fascinated. They can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on your driving habits. I always say, 'full stop'. (22:22) Rhonda - If Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, are babies still born with original sin? (29:44) Rachel - Is my anxiety a spiritual attack? (35:30) Dahlia - Could you recommend a good book for transubstantiation? This guy I met at Church never takes Communion and always comes up to me for a blessing. (41:39) Patricia - I received the sacrament of Confirmation as a child. I feel I lack something in my faith as an adult because I wasn't Confirmed as an adult.  (44:39) Originally Aired on 03-16-2026
