Episode 111-Getting Ready for Marriage with Doug Fields

Most couples spend months planning the perfect wedding, but how much time are they actually spending preparing for the marriage itself? In this episode, Jim Burns and Doug Fields, co-authors of Getting Ready for Marriage, discuss what truly builds a lasting relationship; from creating a shared vision for your future, to navigating finances, technology, and the busyness that quietly crowds out connection. If you're engaged, newly married, or simply want to build a stronger foundation with your spouse, this conversation is a practical and encouraging place to start.

Episode 108-Combating Passivity in Fatherhood with Brad Flurry

What does it take to be a dad who leads with integrity, humility, and purpose? In this episode of HomeWord, Jim Burns sits down with Brad Flurry—retired Marine and Executive Pastor at Kingsland Baptist Church—to share how God redeemed his own story of growing up with an abusive and absent father and shaped his passion for helping dads lead their families well. Brad offers practical wisdom on loving your spouse first, blessing your children the way God blesses us, and becoming a “yes” dad who leads with intention rather than passivity. Together, they explore why strong families are built on a thriving relationship with God, sacrificial love, and the courage to say, “I’m sorry” when it matters most.
