The Patrick Madrid Show: August 25, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick tackles tough faith questions with honest, unscripted candor, from wrestling with Gospel passages on salvation to offering comfort for grief after a beloved pet’s loss. He fields calls about business ethics in old church buildings, kids’ biblical curiosities, salvation debates in marriage, and the sometimes-painful mysteries we all face. Listeners hear hard truths, genuine compassion, and the constant thread of hope rooted in Catholic wisdom.   Michelle - Why would God create people if most of them are going to Hell? It almost seems like the devil wins because he gets most of God's children. (00:40) Terry - My friend is asking me to run a coffee shop in his Protestant Church. Can I do that? (12:22) Emily (8-years-old) - In 2 Kings it mentions that Elijah went up in a chariot of fire. Did he actually go to heaven or was it just a 'place of waiting?' (19:13) Cindy - I am struggling. I lost my pet last Thursday. Can you give me some words of comfort and advice? (22:57) Nancy - My husband is a Baptist. He believes in having a personal relationship with Jesus and works are not required. What do you think? (28:02) Mark - What is the Catholic understanding of Peter's power to loose and bind in Matthew 16? (38:34)
