Patrick opens with a discussion of a viral photo of an IDF soldier smashing a crucifix in southern Lebanon, reflecting on the public reactions and a strong statement from Cardinal Pizzaballa. He fields spontaneous questions from callers about sharing faith in the workplace, the meaning of the Apostles’ Creed, biblical roots of confession, and tough family situations, all while weaving in stories from his own family life and celebrating unexpected joys. Patrick keeps the tone honest, practical, and sometimes wry, moving from global headlines straight into the everyday decisions of faith.
