Patrick explores profound reflections from those at life's end. Saints and believers express peace and joy, reciting prayers and affirming their faith as they cross into eternity. In stark contrast, notable atheists and skeptics reveal despair and regret in their final moments. These stark differences remind listeners of the spiritual choices they face and the legacies they leave. As individuals journey through life, Patrick encourages them to ponder their own paths and choose wisely. Which legacy do you wish to leave behind?
