Listen Later

Patrick opens this episode by confronting the struggle parents face with teenagers glued to their phones, offering down-to-earth tools from no-phones-at-the-table rules to the undeniable simplicity of charging stations outside bedrooms. He fields calls on topics like Catholic teaching on medicinal cannabis, quoting Church sources and distinguishing between therapy and recreational use. Listeners bring up Marian doctrine, struggles of being a convert, and the often-misunderstood nature of Confirmation, pushing Patrick to share both personal reflections and resources from the Thomistic Institute. He doesn’t shy away from tough questions either—how a Catholic might find confidence in salvation or what makes Catholicism compelling even for lifelong members—circling back to the raw reality of hope, trust, and the struggle to believe. Expect practical tips, honest guidance, and the kind of off-the-cuff encouragement you rarely get anywhere else.
