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.** **Resources:** - *Bias for Action: Combating Passivity in Fatherhood* **by Brad Flurry** - *Getting Ready for Marriage: A Practical Road Map for Your Journey Together* **by Jim Burns and Doug Fields** - HomeWord.com - HomeWord YouTube - Dr. Jim Burns’ Blogs - **Leave a Message for HomeWord: 949-485-3905** - **Have a question you want Jim to answer?
