Why Does America Keep Flourishing While Other Nations Fall Apart?

from Ask Mom and Dad Hosted by Ask Mom & Dad

Greg and Tonya are back with their usual mix of laughs, rambling, and real talk. They kick things off forgetting how to open the show, joking about cold feet and socks, then dive into the mountain of paperwork for their upcoming mission trip to London. From there it gets deep fast—Greg shares what he's teaching at church about the Faith of Our Fathers and why America flourished for 250 years while revolutions like France's didn't. Tonya recounts being at the big re-dedication event in Washington DC, praying over the nation with leaders and her daughter. They talk boundaries, protecting kids, the wild training videos they had to watch, and how they raised their own children through real arguments, imperfections, and constant pointing to Jesus. If you're a parent wondering how to pass on genuine faith in a chaotic world, or you're concerned about where our country is headed, this episode will encourage and challenge you.
