Is anxiety affecting you or someone you love? Did you know anxiety has increased by approximately 30% since the COVID-19 pandemic?

Clinical psychologist and author Dr. Alice Benton shares practical ways to recognize anxiety, challenge the worst-case scenarios it creates, and support loved ones with gentle curiosity rather than quick answers. She explores the neurological difference between spoken and unspoken emotions, why excessive screen time and unhealthy forms of self-medication can intensify anxiety, and how being genuinely heard can help bring relief.

You’ll also discover how Scripture can counter anxious thoughts with truth—and why listening may be one of the most loving and powerful things we can do for someone who is struggling.

What do you do when you’re exhausted by the thought of waking up and doing it all again? Jim Burns sits down with Steven White—writer, former pastor, nonprofit executive and Christian school superintendent—to explore loneliness, the importance of community, and how trauma can affect the body even when we aren’t consciously aware of it. Steven shares about a season when he lost hope and wondered if God cared about him, and how slowing down and reconnecting with where we are can create space for healing. They also discuss the “mercy of routine”—the simple rhythms that can give us a reason to get up and remind us we don’t have to navigate life alone

Did you know that 27% of adults are estranged from at least one family member? In this heartfelt episode, Jim Burns sits down with therapist and author Tina Gilbertson to unpack the many layers of parent–adult child estrangement. They explore the different forms this can take—whether emotional distance, total silence, or an on-again, off-again connection. Tina shares practical do’s and don’ts for reaching out, how to apologize authentically, and why being both direct and loving—with clear boundaries—is essential. The conversation touches on codependency, enmeshment, and how the need for personal space can sometimes be mistaken for rejection. You’ll hear Tina’s wise encouragement that silence doesn’t always mean finality, and that time apart can actually bring healing. If you're a parent longing for reconnection, this episode offers both insight and real hope.

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.
