Episode 89-How to Love (and Like) Your Spouse for Life with Arlene Pellicane
2026/02/05
Marriage isn’t meant to be frictionless—but it is meant to be transformative. Arlene Pellicane joins Dr. Jim Burns to unpack the growing pains of marriage, why the hard seasons can actually make it good, and how relying on the Holy Spirit softens hearts when conflict hits. They explore why communication breakdowns derail most marriages and how shifting from a “serve me” mindset to Christ-like service changes everything. In a culture that treats marriage as disposable, this conversation reframes it as a profound blessing—and a refining gift worth fighting for.

Episode 88-Faith, Work, Tech and Family with Paul Taylor
2026/01/29
Paul Taylor—co-founder of Faith, Work & Tech and director of Unify—joins the conversation to unpack how AI is reshaping families, education, and vocation. With a background in engineering from Stanford, a master’s in theology, and nearly two decades of pastoral ministry, Paul offers a grounded, thoughtful perspective on technology that’s now “as ubiquitous as electricity.” He challenges families to think carefully about their children using AI and shares practical wisdom for letting technology help without letting it replace formation. Paul also introduces the idea of “vocational disintegration,” where faith and work live in separate compartments—and why that divide is costing us more than we realize. He closes with three powerful prayers for the workplace and a compelling question: what would change if you went to work each day with a deep awareness of the Spirit?

Episode 87-Good News for Parents with Adam Griffin
2026/01/22
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.

Episode 85-Surrendered Sexuality with Juli Slattery
2026/01/08
*Listener discretion is advised: This episode contains discussions of adult themes.
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.

Episode 84- What It Takes to Make a Marriage Work with Kevin Thompson (Part 2)
2025/12/18
What if the key to deeper intimacy in marriage isn’t trying harder—but learning to partner better? In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Jim Burns is joined again by Kevin Thompson—speaker, author, and married-life pastor at Bayside Church—to unpack what real partnership and intimacy in marriage looks like. They discuss shared responsibility, mutual respect, and why honoring differences actually strengthens the relationship. The conversation also explores intimacy and how vulnerability creates deeper connection, even though it doesn’t come easily. Kevin breaks down three types of married sex—spontaneous, scheduled, and maintenance—and explains why intimacy often reflects what’s happening beneath the surface. This episode offers practical insight and encouragement for couples who want to grow closer and build a marriage that lasts.

Episode 83- What It Takes to Make a Marriage Work with Kevin Thompson (Part 1)
2025/12/11
Strong marriages don’t happen by accident—they’re built. In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Kevin Thompson—speaker, author, husband, father, and married-life pastor at Bayside Church in California—for an honest conversation about what actually builds a strong marriage. Together, they explore the importance of intentional investment, course-corrections along the way, and why small, daily “micro-connections” can matter even more than big gestures. Kevin unpacks what it really means to be friends with your spouse, how trust is built (and rebuilt), and what to do when that friendship feels broken. They also discuss wise approaches to dating, choosing a future spouse, and living out marriage vows with humility, faith, and a commitment to “figure it out together.”

2025/11/20
In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns welcomes back psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Morgan Cutlip. They dive into the true weight of the “mental load” in marriage, unpacking how this hidden burden shapes daily life and breaking down its three layers—physical, mental, and emotional—while highlighting why that final layer tends to fall heaviest on women. Dr. Cutlip offers practical guidance for couples on how to divide responsibilities, communicate without spiraling into conflict, and build trust so both partners feel supported. She also shares wisdom for dating or engaged couples as they prepare for future roles and expectations at home. Throughout the conversation, Jim and Morgan highlight how resentment can quietly erode intimacy—and how play, fun, and mutual esteem can reignite connection. This episode is a hopeful look at how understanding each other’s needs can lead to more joy, less friction, and a stronger partnership.

Episode 80-Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
2025/11/13
Many moms quietly carry the weight of everyone else’s needs — often at the expense of their own. In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist, bestselling author, and sought-after relationship expert who is passionate about helping women feel supported and connected in every season of life. Together, they dive into the common guilt moms experience when prioritizing themselves and why true self-care is about more than surface-level pampering — it’s about nurturing your wellbeing at the core. Dr. Cutlip unpacks three major tension points mothers face: putting everyone’s needs before their own, dealing with unmet expectations, and letting go of perfection in parenting. You’ll hear encouraging insights on building meaningful connection with your kids, embracing “good enough” parenting, and how husbands can be true teammates at home. This conversation will remind every mom: you’re doing far better than you think — and you’re worth caring for too.

Episode 77-Keeping Faith Alive: Grandparents and A Godly Legacy with Dr. Dudley Chancey
2025/10/23
What does it mean to be an intentional grandparent in today’s world? Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Dr. Dudley Chancey, long-time youth pastor, educator, and founder of the Intergenerational Faith Center at Oklahoma Christian University, for a powerful conversation about building a legacy of love, faith, and values. Dr. Chancey offers encouragement to grandparents who didn’t grow up with a faith foundation—or who are struggling because their children don’t allow them to see their grandkids, take them to church, or talk about Jesus. Through wisdom, warmth, and real stories, he reminds us that it’s never too late to start living and sharing a godly legacy—and that being an intentional grandparent means looking for everyday moments to model faith, love, and grace.
