The Patrick Madrid Show: March 19, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick answers questions about defending Catholic colleges, the making of a Doctor of the Church, and the encounter between Jesus and John the Baptist, all while fielding candid conversations about spiritual warfare and practical Christian living. Laughter, debate, and encouragement ripple through as Patrick threads practical theology with the unfiltered experiences of real people.
