The Patrick Madrid Show: July 08, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick fields big questions about faith, Scripture, and longstanding Catholic beliefs, moving from the story of Noah’s flood and its meaning for today to the mysterious figure Jacob grapples with in Genesis, and weighing in on the often-misunderstood topic of Jesus’ so-called siblings. Suggestions from Church tradition and biblical evidence pour in, punctuated with practical apologetics, lively side conversations, and the easy camaraderie with Cyrus. A burst of insight, a pause for friendly updates, then right back to steady, unscripted Q&A.   Victoria (email) – How do we square God’s promise not to flood the Earth again? (00:49) Rose – In today's first reading, who did Jacob wrestle with? Also, the Douay–Rheims Bible says Moses and Elias. Are Elijah and Elias the same? (06:20) Joshua - What would you say about Ephesians 6 in relation to the Texas floods? It says the devil is responsible for storms. (12:58) Maria - Why does the Bible say Jesus had brothers? Also, it says cousin when Mary goes to see Elizabeth? (21:56) Gabriel - How do I defend Mary and why we pray to her? (35:38)
