  • Why Did America Risk Billions to Rescue One Pilot While Radical Islam Kills Its Own?

    Why Did America Risk Billions to Rescue One Pilot While Radical Islam Kills Its Own?
    Apr 10 2026
    After a rough several weeks battling travel & sickness Greg and Tonya are back. They jump straight into the big stuff happening in the world right now. They talk about the U.S. strikes on Iran, the dramatic rescue of that F-15 pilot on Easter weekend, and the wild contrast between how America values one soldier’s life versus how some regimes treat their own people.From there the conversation gets deep and honest: Why does every single life matter so much to us? Where does that value actually come from? They walk through the Judeo-Christian roots of Western civilization, the difference between Hebrew and Roman views of human dignity, and how God spared no expense to rescue us through Jesus.It’s raw, it’s timely, and it’ll make you think about why we stand with Israel, why we fight for the unborn, and why we refuse to let current events shake our trust in the real King.If you’ve been wrestling with the news, the politics, or just wondering what the Bible actually says about all this, pull up a chair. You’re gonna want to hear this one.

  • Why Do Many Christians Feel Guilty About Pleasure?

    Why Do Many Christians Feel Guilty About Pleasure?
    Mar 6 2026
    Many Christians feel an uneasy tension when it comes to pleasure.
    If following Jesus means sacrifice, surrender, and denying ourselves… why did God create a world filled with beauty, laughter, food, relationships, and meaningful work?In this episode of Ask Mom and Dad, Greg and Tonya continue their discussion of Joe Rigney’s book Strangely Brightand wrestle with a question many believers quietly carry:Why do Christians sometimes distrust pleasure?Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, they explore the difference between enjoying God’s gifts and turning those gifts into idols. The conversation touches on missionary sacrifice, cultural attitudes toward enjoyment, and the biblical idea that Jesus is better than everything—without requiring us to reject the good things God created.Together they unpack how pleasure can either compete with God or become a signpost pointing back to Him.If you’ve ever wondered:
    • Is enjoying life less spiritual?
    • Why do some Christians feel guilty about pleasure?
    • Did God design the world to be enjoyed?
    This conversation will challenge how you think about joy, sacrifice, and gratitude in the Christian life.

  • Does Sacrifice Deepen Joy?

    Does Sacrifice Deepen Joy?
    Feb 20 2026
    What if the real test of your faith isn’t what you believe—but what you’re willing to give up?In this episode, Greg and Tonya tackle the uncomfortable tension between pleasure and sacrifice. Why does Lent matter? Why would God give us good things—and then ask us to fast from them? And if Jesus is truly better than everything else… do our lives actually reflect that?From carrot cake to covenant marriage, from fasting to parenting exhaustion, this conversation digs into the difference between enjoying God’s gifts and worshiping them. Discover why voluntary sacrifice sharpens joy, why self-denial restores gratitude, and how enduring difficulty in marriage and family reveals something deeper about God Himself.If you’ve ever wondered:
    • Why Christians fast
    • Whether pleasure is spiritual or dangerous
    • Or what sacrifice really proves about your faith
    This episode will challenge the way you think about joy, discipline, and what it really means to say, “Jesus is better.”

    Choosing sacrifice tests and reveals whether we truly believe Jesus is better. Voluntary self-denial sharpens appreciation, restores focus, and deepens our experience of God.
