The Patrick Madrid Show: August 13, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick welcomes listeners into candid discussions, moving from sign language tips for children at Mass to personal stories about public speaking nerves and faith challenges. He responds to questions on receiving Communion, proper reverence at Mass, and tricky family situations, blending advice, humor, and genuine connection. Stories range from overcoming homelessness to building bridges in a non-Catholic Bible study, with Patrick offering perspective and encouragement at every turn. Allison - I wanted to talk about the expecting mother who called earlier this week. I think she should teach the toddler some signs for Church. I found that very helpful for my little girls.
