The Patrick Madrid Show: October 15, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick revisits some of the most thought-provoking calls from past years, where listeners share deep struggles and hard-won returns to faith, ask bold questions about suffering and holiness, and reveal moments of vulnerability around confession and starting over. Listeners hear testimonies of healing, gratitude, and the powerful grace found in coming home to the Church after decades away. Stories of growth, guidance on confronting personal failings, spiritual plateaus, and even how to handle disruptions during worship offer encouragement to anyone longing for renewal and connection.
