Fan Mail Friday: Should Christians Take Government Money?

September 18, 2026·40 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Should Christian families accept government subsidies if the help is already available—or should we be worried about the strings attached? Today I’m answering that, plus when theological differences are serious enough to leave a church, loving an adult child who disagrees with you, baptism, tithing while in debt, teens working Sundays, discerning when “God told me” is really God, and helping a homeschool graduate find direction. Plus, a sobering look at why Americans are more dissatisfied than ever with our education system.Sponsor: BJU Press Homeschool — Biblically grounded, academically strong homeschool curriculum with flexible options for your family.
