The Patrick Madrid Show: October 09, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick responds to listeners grappling with family conflict when a loved one identifies as transgender and offers straightforward advice for explaining these issues to kids. One moment, he's addressing a seven-year-old's innocent wonder about marriage in heaven; the next, he guides engaged Catholics through tough communion etiquette at weddings. With humor and candor, Patrick weaves together practical faith, real stories, and spiritual guidance, never shying away from honest conversation.
