Thompson Talks with Tony & Christina

Welcome back to Thompson Talks with Tony and Christina 🎙️
This episode might change how you think about money in your relationship.

We’ve been together over 10 years… and we’ve never fought about money.
Not because we had it—but because of how we viewed it.

Early in our relationship, Christina loaned me $3,000—almost all of her savings—after only knowing me for a few months.

That moment showed me something I’ll never forget:
She trusted me more than she trusted money.

⚠️ We are NOT telling you to do this. In fact—don...

Let’s be honest…
Most people think commitment is about staying.
It’s not.
It’s about knowing.
Research from the National Center for Health Statistics shows that nearly 73% of divorced individuals said lack of commitment was a major factor in divorce—making it the #1 cause above money.
And here’s the truth:
You can’t fully commit to what you don’t truly know.
Before you buy a house, you do research.
Before you make a lifelong covenant with someone, shouldn’t you do the...

This episode is for every married couple who has looked at their spouse and thought…
“Who are you?” 😅
Not because of betrayal.
Not because of divorce.
But because life changed both of you.

Studies consistently show the top reasons are:
🥇 Lack of commitment
💬 Communication problems
⚡ Constant conflict

This episode is fun, real, and full of laughs—but also full of truth.

We’re pulling back the curtain on motherhood and talking about what life really looks like with two kids under three.

Tony kicks things off with a pre-kids story that still perfectly describes who Christina is as a mom—the infamous ripped pants story at the Urban League booth 😂 Instead of leaving, she simply asked, “Can you see the rip?” and said, “I’ll be okay. I’ll figure it out.”

That is Christina...

This episode is deeply personal.

Grief changes everything—and the first year without my mom, Mrs. Burton, taught me more than I ever expected.

Nearly 1 in 5 adults will lose a parent by age 25.
By age 50, most people have lost at least one parent.
I lost mine before 35.

This conversation is for anyone walking through grief, loss, depression, confusion, anger, loneliness, or simply trying to figure out how to keep showing up when life feels heavy.

We’re sharing what the first...

This episode is one of the most personal conversations we’ve had.

We’re sharing the story of Oakley’s pregnancy—our daughter who was born just 8 days after the passing of Mrs. Burton. This season taught us what it looks like to experience grief and joy, heartbreak and celebration, death and life… all at the exact same time.

After briefly sharing Ajani’s story, we open up about Oakley’s journey—before, during, and after pregnancy—and how our plans completely failed, but God’s faithfulness never did...

What do you do when life doesn’t go the way you planned?

In this powerful and transparent episode, Tony and Christina open up about the unexpected challenges surrounding their son Ajani’s pregnancy journey—before, during, and after. What was supposed to be a joyful experience turned into a season filled with uncertainty, fear, and resilience.

But through it all, one truth remained:
You may not win the way you planned—but you can still come out victorious.

This episode is for anyone who has faced disappointment, setbacks, or moments where life did...
