Episode Details

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.
