We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and AbbVie, a space to share open and honest conversations acknowledging the struggles we all face, while leaning into the hope and optimism we all share. We’ll hear from doctors, experts, and everyday people who will be sharing their experiences, migraine coping strategies, and major wins, all while building a community of support around an invisible disease that makes every day uncertain: Chronic Migraine.

The Email That Sparked It All Cyrus read an email from Ray in Texas , who asked a fair and honest question: “Aren’t we spending too much time on Mary? Shouldn’t we focus more on Jesus?” You could practically hear Patrick rubbing his hands together; he was itching to respond. And respond he did... with biblical insight and big-time love for the Blessed Mother . Patrick’s first big point: The Rosary is all about Jesus. Even though we’re repeating the Hail Mary, we’re actually meditating on key events in Jesus’ life: -The Annunciation The Baptism -The Passion -The Crucifixion -The Resurrection These are Jesus-focused mysteries. Mary is in the picture, sure... but as the ultimate mom . She is always directing us straight to her Son. Mary's Role: The Ultimate "Point You to Jesus" Mother If anyone’s worried that Mary might steal the spotlight, Patrick reminds us of John 2:5. “Do whatever He tells you.” That’s Mary talking. Not “Do whatever I say” or “Look at me!” but “Go to Jesus.” So even if someone’s spiritual life gets a little too “Marian-heavy”, Mary will lovingly redirect them . She’s the queen of humility. Scripture shows Mary as a constant presence throughout Jesus’ life: -She carried Him in the womb. -She nursed Him and raised Him. -She taught Him as a child. -She stood at the foot of the Cross. -She was there at Pentecost, too. No one was closer to Jesus in His earthly life. And God Himself chose her for this role. So... if she’s important to Him , she should be important to us too. The Bottom Line So don’t stress if you love Our Lady. You’re in excellent company, including Jesus Himself .…

Patrick shared a quick but oh-so-needed reflection that will resonate deeply. He read a recent interview from Vatican News featuring Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo (from Africa), about that ever-present buzz around division in the Church. T he real story is way deeper than the drama on your social media feed . Media vs. Reality: Not the Same Thing Cardinal Ambongo said this: “The press often claims the Church is divided between conservatives and progressives... These categories do not exist among the Cardinals themselves.” Whoa. So, while social media might make it seem like the Church is at war with itself (team trad vs. team modern, etc.), the actual Cardinals are not playing that game. According to the Cardinal, what really happened at the conclave (you know, the one that just gave us Pope Leo XIV) was unity . Not fake, PR-crafted unity, but a shared love for Jesus Christ . The Church = A Person, Not a Platform Cardinal Ambongo gets to the heart of it: “The Church is not an ideology... but rather an attachment to a person, and that person is Jesus Christ.” Can we get an Amen ? This isn’t about being “Team Benedict” or “Team Francis” or “Team Trad Latin Mass Only.” The real “team” is: Team Jesus. At the end of the day, Jesus didn’t ask Peter, “Do you have the right liturgical preference?” He asked, “Do you love me?” Patrick’s Take: Strive for Unity, Not Cliques Patrick ties it back to Scripture: St. Paul calling out early Christians for splitting into camps (remember “I’m with Apollos!” “I’m with Cephas!” etc.). Paul shut that down hard because it missed the point: It’s all about Christ . Patrick’s challenge for us? Even when the online world feels loud, snarky, and divided... especially within Catholic circles, we have to remember our purpose. And live like it. It’s Jesus. Period. Final Word If you’ve been feeling a little disheartened by all the Catholic infighting online , let this be your reminder: the Body of Christ is bigger than our factions . Like Patrick said: this is also an ideal to strive for . Let’s get back to what unites us. Want more thoughtful commentary like this? Catch The Patrick Madrid Show live weekdays on the Relevant Radio app , 8–11am CT. Because in a noisy world, we could all use a little more truth... and a little less X/Twitter.…

Okay, put on your theological thinking caps, because in this podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show , you'll get a great answer to a BIG question: How do we know Jesus founded the Catholic Church and not some other Christian group? Patrick brings the receipts, the analogies, and yes… the flat earth references. The Question That Sparked It All A listener named Timothy emails Patrick this question: “Hey Patrick, aren’t you being a little harsh? You call out Protestants for coming down on Catholics, but then don’t you come down just as hard on non-Catholics? Aren’t both sides just passionate about what they believe?” Timothy’s tone is respectful. And Patrick loves it. He takes it seriously. He gives a full, no-punches-pulled response: rooted in reason, history, and good old-fashioned Catholic confidence. The Flat Earth Analogy Patrick compares Protestantism to… flat earth theory. Not because Protestants are dumb (he’s clear about that; they’re very sincere, smart, and well-meaning), but because: You can be sincere… and still be sincerely wrong. He argues that Protestant theology, like flat earth theory, is demonstrably false. It just doesn’t hold up when you look at Scripture, history, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. Just as science clearly disproves a flat earth, Church history disproves that Protestantism was ever the original Christianity. So, What Does the Bible Say? Patrick points out that Protestantism often relies on concepts like: Sola Scriptura ("Bible alone") Once Saved, Always Saved …which aren’t in the Bible... and in some cases are even contradicted by the Bible. He brings up passages like: 2 Thessalonians 2:15 : Hold fast to the traditions, oral and written. 1 Corinthians 11 : Keep the traditions as I delivered them. These support Catholic teachings about Scripture and Tradition. Patrick says that trusting only personal Bible interpretation turns the faith into a theological Rubik’s Cube: everyone has their own twist on it. That’s just not how Jesus set it up. Early Christians Weren’t Protestant, They Were... Catholic He brings up St. John Henry Newman, the Anglican scholar who tried to disprove Catholicism… and ended up converting because the evidence was so overwhelming. The early Church: Believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist Celebrated the Mass as a sacrifice Had sacraments, priests, apostolic authority Baptized babies Defended Trinitarian doctrine against heresies And all this was happening centuries before the Reformation. Protestantism, Patrick argues, is a latecomer: a break from the historical Church, not a return to it. The Church is Noah’s Ark Patrick closes with a beautiful, personal touch: The Catholic Church is the Ark Jesus built to carry us through the flood of confusion, division, and error. He didn’t leave us a Rubik’s Cube Bible to figure out solo. He left us a Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. That’s why Patrick is confident, not just passionate. He's not trying to win arguments. He’s trying to show that there’s an unbroken, visible, historical Church founded by Christ, and it’s Catholic.…

ABC News snagged an exclusive interview with John Prevost , brother of the newly elected Pope Leo XIV : the first-ever American Pope , born and bred on the South Side of Chicago . Patrick and Cyrus aired this audio during The Patrick Madrid Show , letting the story breathe... and man, did it breathe life into the moment. Brotherly Love & Shock John’s tone was a mix of disbelief, joy, and spiritual awe. “Not a lot of people can say ‘my brother is the Pope.’” Yeah, no kidding, John. He admitted that the news still hadn’t sunk in . The calls, texts, interviews… it’s been a nonstop frenzy since the white smoke rose over St. Peter’s. At first, John thought the idea of an American Pope was laughable... too much geopolitical baggage, right? But when Pope Leo XIV was in the final three candidates , things got real fast. And when the name was finally announced: There was screaming , curtain-watching, and immediate family pride overload . The Man Behind the Mitre So, who is Pope Leo XIV? John paints a humble picture. He’s: -A “regular run-of-the-mill guy” -Molded by missionary work in South America -Passionate about serving the poor and voiceless -Inspired by (and likely to continue the path of) Pope Francis John explained that his brother Pope Leo XIV met Pope Francis years ago while serving in Peru and Argentina , long before either of them wore white. Roots in Chicago Though Leo XIV left for the seminary after 8th grade (to Holland, MI , then Villanova ), the Chicago DNA runs deep. His early life was that of a typical kid: neighborhood games, bike rides, and, get this: a prophetic neighbor lady once said he’d be Pope… in first grade . Just picture it: a kid on the block, riding his bike, and the neighbor declaring, “That one’s gonna be Pope.” Holy Spirit , anyone? From Chicago sidewalks to St. Peter’s Square, this story reminds us that God writes the most unexpected plots. And yeah; He’s definitely not done yet.…

1 What Does it Mean that the Pope is the "Vicar of Christ?" (Special Podcast Highlight) 6:26

Ever heard the title "Vicar of Christ" tossed around and wondered, wait... what does that actually mean? Vicar - Why It’s a Big Deal) Patrick explains the Latin word "Vicarius ." It basically means “second in command” or “chief steward.” Think: the right-hand man or the chief of staff... someone who acts with the authority of the king when the king’s not present. So, when Catholics say the Pope is the Vicar of Christ , they’re not saying he replaces Jesus. They're saying he represents Jesus on Earth as the one appointed to shepherd the Church in Christ’s name. F rom Simon to Peter Then we jump to the moment in Matthew 16. Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” and Simon (not known for being shy) replies, “You are the Christ!” Jesus blesses him, gives him a new name: “Peter” (from the Aramaic Cephas , meaning “rock”), and tells him: "I give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. What you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven..." Translation: Peter is in charge . Not as a mere administrator, but as the earthly steward of Christ’s kingdom . Patrick makes it crystal clear: This is where the Vicar of Christ idea begins. Isaiah 22: Old Testament Prime Minister Patrick connects Matthew 16 to Isaiah 22 , where a guy named Eliakim is appointed as the royal steward in the Davidic Kingdom. He's given a robe, a sash, and the keys of the house of David. Sound familiar? The verse literally says: "He shall open, and none shall shut; he shall shut, and none shall open." So, Peter’s role is like Eliakim’s: the one with real authority, not just among equals, but over the whole household . Christ Is the Head. The Pope Is His Vicar Christ is always the true head of the Church: ontologically and spiritually . But on Earth, He entrusted Peter (and his successors, the popes) to lead, guide, and protect the flock. So, when we say, “Vicar of Christ,” we’re affirming: -Biblical roots (Matthew 16 & Isaiah 22) -Historical continuity (Peter and beyond) -Spiritual authority (rooted in Jesus Himself) Bonus: Pope Fiction Patrick gives a plug for his book, Pope Fiction , which talks about this exact topic and busts myths left and right. (Worth a read if you're tired of TikTok theology.)…

Patrick gave you a glimpse into the childhood and early years of our brand-new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost), with the kind of reverent curiosity you'd expect when an altar boy from the South Side becomes the Vicar of Christ . You can listen to his entire hour of commentary about Pope Leo XIV here . Hour 2 is available to listen here . Hour 3 is here . Humble Beginnings in the Windy City Born on September 14, 1955 , in Dolton, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), little Robert Prevost was raised in a faithful Catholic home. His dad, Louis Marius Prevost , was of French-Italian descent and served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. His mom, Mildred Martínez, was a Spanish-Creole librarian with deep Louisiana roots. He grew up going to St. Mary of the Assumption parish, where he served as an altar boy . So yes, he literally started out on the altar... just not quite at the Vatican level yet. He has two brothers , Louis Martin and John Joseph. A Brainy & Prayerful Path Young Robert was no slouch in school either; he studied math at Villanova , graduating in 1977. God had bigger plans. He entered the Order of St. Augustine in 1978, professed vows in 1981, and was ordained a priest in 1982 . He studied theology in Chicago and canon law in Rome , eventually earning his doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) . From Peru to the Pontificate This wasn’t a man who just sat around in chancery offices. He served as a missionary priest in Peru , taught at seminaries, worked in diocesan offices, and even led the global Augustinian order as Prior General, twice . Eventually, he was appointed a bishop in Peru , received dual citizenship , and climbed the Vatican ranks: prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America . If you wanted to become a bishop under Pope Francis? You probably went through his office. Cardinal, then…Pope! In 2023, he was made a cardinal , and by early 2025, elevated to Cardinal Bishop: one of the highest honors in the Church. Just a few months later, he appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica , smiling (and maybe a bit stunned), as the world heard those famous words: “Habemus Papam!”: We have a Pope! First Words as Pope Patrick shared audio from Pope Leo’s first Mass, where he began his homily in English before switching to Italian . His opening line was a quote from the Psalms: “ I will sing a new song to the Lord, for He has done marvels ... not just with me, but with all of us, my brother Cardinals.” It was humble, sincere, and straight from the heart. Fun Fact Corner: There's a photo of him at a Chicago World Series game dressed incognito, talking on a cell phone: captioned: “Here’s the Pope at the World Series.” Instant classic. His childhood home was reportedly listed for $199K the day before the conclave. His Creole roots and international experiences give him a beautiful cultural depth: a bridge between continents, languages, and peoples. From altar boy in Dolton to Peter’s successor: it’s a story only God could write.…
