The Patrick Madrid Show: June 25, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick addresses how truthfulness and conviction work in practice, linking the courage of early Christians during persecution (01:30) to messy ethical calls at work and home. He relates stories of fractured families, prayer in loneliness, and staunch, sometimes painful, persistence in faith (11:27), all while mixing practical spiritual advice with thoughtful takes on symbols like the crucifix and the meaning of sacramental life (20:08). Throughout, Patrick urges listeners to remain grounded, genuinely compassionate, and unafraid to tackle hard questions about loyalty, honesty, and belief.   Lucy - It does not work to go quiet on a rude/mean son or daughter in law.

(18:54) Roger – Regarding the Blessed Mother crowned with 12 stars, I thought they represented the 12 tribes of Israel, but is it actually the 12 apostles? (25:50) Janet (email) – What if there is a magnetic field around the Data Centers (28:27) Barbara - I tried to invite my grandkids for a birthday party. I have not seen the kids in a year. The mother said no, and other negative things. All I can do is surrender to God. (33:07) Bob - I have a member of my family marrying a Lutheran girl and they are getting married by a priest.
