Sharing is kind, but it doesn't classify as a miracle.   Zach - What is the difference between generational sin and generational demons?

(09:59) Mark - I was lost in the Rockies for a few hours, and I was more concerned about freezing to death. I was given some preparation which kept me from panicking. It's like with the spiritual life, if you prepare you won't panic when things get tough. (13:14) Connor - If so many people seem to go to hell, it seems like the sacrifice of Christ is not very meaningful. How is God's sacrifice worthwhile if only a few people are going to heaven?

He also covers the Charismatic Renewal movement—its history, controversies, and the need for discernment.   Clare (10-years-old) - What happens to your guardian angel when you die? Patrick strongly recommends not no dating until you’re 18 Gary - When Jesus tells people not to tell others about his healings, but they do it anyway, was that wrong of them to disobey Jesus?

Dominic offers raw insights into the realities of drug addiction, the false allure of a life of crime, and the power of faith and perseverance.

Olivia - I think there is a spiritual warfare that is happening to the younger generation via technology and porn.

Patrick addresses a heartfelt listener question about the fear of first confession and handling past mistakes like abortion with grace. He explains the Biblical roots of confession, highlights its healing power, and reassures that God's forgiveness knows no bounds. For anyone on a spiritual journey and feeling nervous, remember that confession brings liberation and healing. God loves you, and there is no judgment, only grace.   Audio: Charlie Kirk, for those of you that don’t think our Country was based on Christianity! (02:05) Rachel - What is the moral responsibility for Catholics who are inviting non-practicing Catholics to a baptism Mass?

(15:25) Cheryl - My niece is preparing for a leadership conference where Charlie Kirk was at and I was able to get him some books that you wrote.
