“We can’t parent the way our parents parented us.” In this episode, Dr. Jim Burns—founder of HomeWord, speaker, author, and podcaster—joins the conversation to help parents of teens navigate the challenges of raising the next generation. Together, we explore topics like rebellion, entitlement, disconnection, and the overwhelming impact of social media. Dr. Burns shares practical ways parents can equip their teens with wisdom, responsibility, and a biblical worldview. From assigning meaningful tasks to setting clear boundaries, he offers tools to help teens grow in stewardship, identity, and faith. We discuss the importance of letting our kids wrestle with big questions in the safety of home, while guiding them back to truth. If you're a parent looking for practical steps and spiritual encouragement, this episode is for you.
