Patrick opens with a listener’s question about cursing and swearing, drawing on scripture and his own upbringing to argue why Christians should reject profanity. His response to callers brings a steady compassion, especially for a mother wrestling with her daughter’s difficult life decisions and for another listener overwhelmed by spiritual desolation, weaving in real-life advice alongside book suggestions.

 

• Preston (email) - Is cursing and swearing a sin? (00:59)
• Catherine - I am afraid that my daughter is heading for hell. Do you have any advice? (11:35)
• Richard - I think I have a solution to the women who just called: I think they are at the age now where they can live together in celibacy. Couldn't that be a solution? (18:38)
• Laura (email) – What is wrong with me? (22:38)
• Mike (email) – Jesus did claim to be God (37:02)
• Pat - I suffered for scruples for many years. Priest told me that if I couldn't swear on the Bible if something was a mortal sin, then you shouldn't worry about it. (39:01)
• Liz - You have prayed for a Philip to come into people's lives. Where did you get that from? (43:51)
• Mark - I hear condemnation going on. I think Laura needs some encouragement. I knew about a woman who was afraid to go to a Church for a similar reason. (45:33)
