You asked—Jim answered…again! In Part 2 of this special listener Q&A, Jim Burns returns with producer Mike to continue addressing tough, honest questions from HomeWord listeners about navigating relationships with adult children. Jim tackles real-life concerns like: Is it ever okay to ask our 26-year-old son to move out? Should we require our adult child to attend church if they live at home? Is it wrong to help them financially? How do we respond when they make choices we disagree with?

From setting household expectations to conversations around politics and faith, Jim offers practical wisdom with grace and clarity—reminding parents that love and healthy boundaries can coexist, and that their identity isn’t defined by their children’s choices.

A recent Barna study reveals that 62% of men report struggling with sex addiction or challenges related to pornography—yet only 1 in 10 churches offer resources to help. In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Chris Cannon, founder and Executive Director of Sword and Shovel and leader in HomeWord’s Pastor-to-Pastor ministry, shares his personal journey from early exposure to pornography at age 8 to finding healing through grace, confession, and community. Chris unpacks how fantasy and secrecy can entrap men, and why honest relationships—especially with other men—are essential for recovery. He offers wisdom on navigating hard conversations with spouses, confronting shame, and learning to be truly seen. If you're struggling, you're not alone—and there is real hope, healing, and freedom ahead.
