Your kids don’t need a perfect parent—just a parent who knows how to follow a perfect God. Dr. Jim Burns is joined by pastor, author, and podcast host Adam Griffin for an honest and hope-filled conversation about the real pressures parents face today. Adam gently dismantles the myth of perfect parenting, reminding us that guilt, shame, and anxiety are not the fruit of walking with God. Instead, our children need to see imperfect parents who model repentance, grace, and trust in a perfect God. This episode offers biblical counsel for releasing performance-driven parenting and embracing joy—even in the exhausting and frustrating seasons. Ultimately, it’s an invitation to parents to find freedom in Jesus Christ.

What happens when a marriage looks successful on the outside—but is quietly unraveling behind the scenes? Justin and Trisha Davis, authors, speakers, and founders of Refine Us Ministries, join Dr. Jim Burns to share the raw story of how their marriage nearly ended after ten years—and how God brought real restoration. They open up about pouring everything into ministry while neglecting each other, the devastating impact of an affair, and the courageous choices that led to healing. This conversation dives deep into breaking destructive cycles and the power of confession. With honesty, humility, and hope, Justin and Trisha show what forgiveness, responsibility, and lasting change truly look like—reminding us that healing what’s broken can stop the pain from repeating.

If parents are silent about sex and sexuality, their children will be discipled by the culture. On this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Juli Slattery joins Dr. Jim Burns to talk about how parents can intentionally disciple their kids in biblical sexuality rather than simply providing sex education. Dr. Slattery—wife, mom, clinical psychologist, author, and speaker—explains why Scripture is not silent on sexuality and why parents shouldn’t be either. She unpacks the difference between education and discipleship, introduces the idea of “dad nuggets,” and encourages parents to be authentic and present in these conversations. This episode offers hope, biblical clarity, and practical tools to help families talk about sexuality in a way that reflects God’s design and redemption.
