Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Jase feels nature’s emergency call at the worst possible moment  in full view of small-town traffic! Revisiting the moment Moses pleaded for mercy and God relented, Zach, Al, and Jase wrestle with what it means for us today— whether our prayers can truly move the heart of God or if His will was always unfolding as planned. The guys explore the “lawlessness” of sin and why loving your neighbor could be the difference between mercy and destruction. In this episode: Exodus 32, verses 7–14; Exodus 33, verses 12–23; 1 John 3, verses 1–4; Hebrews 3, verses 1–14 “Unashamed” Episode 1282 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! https://timtebow.com/tree-unashamed/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

A blood moon sparks fresh waves of end-times predictions, apocalyptic charts, and doomsday rhetoric — but is that really the point? Jase, Al, and Zach push back on the obsession with “when” and “where,” arguing that Scripture shifts the focus to who you’re with and whether you’re ready. From 1 Thessalonians to Jesus healing on the Sabbath, the conversation reframes heaven not as escape, but as meaningful work in a renewed creation.  In this episode: 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 13–18; 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 1–4; 1 John 3, verses 16–19; John 5, verses 1–17; Matthew 11, verse 28; Romans 8, verse 19; Genesis 1, verse 28 “Unashamed” Episode 1281 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://trustandwill.com/unashamed — Get 20% off and protect your legacy today!  https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

What if Satan’s strategy against mankind hasn’t changed since the time of Job? The guys examine how the evil one attacks three core areas of a man’s life and how Jesus restores what’s been taken. A ten-second exchange in a meet-and-greet line sparks Jase’s deeper dive into the “new heaven and new earth.” Al and Zach find that the only way to please God isn’t through striving, but through trusting what Jesus has finished. In this episode: Ephesians 5, verse 33; Job 31; Proverbs 31; 1 John 3, verses 1–3; Hebrews 2; 2 Corinthians 12; Matthew 24; Romans 1; 1 Corinthians 15; Romans 6, verses 8–10; 1 Corinthians 1, verse 30; John 20; John 21; Hebrews 9, verses 23–25; John 14; Ephesians 2; Ephesians 6; John 17; Exodus 33; John 1, verses 16–18 “Unashamed” Episode 1280 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

The culture’s biggest lie about good and evil is that they’re equal and opposite forces locked in an endless cosmic tug-of-war. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore why that idea quietly reshapes how we see God, Satan, heaven, and hell — and why C.S. Lewis insists it falls apart under real Christian theology. From Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness to Lewis’ picture of hell as a shrinking, hollow existence, the guys explore how evil is a distortion of what God created as good. In this episode: Matthew 4, verses 1–11; 1 John 2, verses 15–17; 1 Timothy 6, verses 11–16; 2 Corinthians 12, verses 7–10; Hebrews 12, verses 26–28; 1 Kings 8, verse 27; Acts 7 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 7 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about C.S. Lewis on Christianity: Encounter the faith & wisdom of C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis’s writings bring the great questions of the Christian faith to life. Through his imaginative and invigorating style, Lewis answers these questions in ways that are compelling to those outside Christianity and energizing to those within the Christian faith. In this free, seven-lecture course, Professor Michael Ward—a leading scholar of C.S. Lewis—will explore Lewis’s: argument for objective moral value in response to the rise of modern subjectivism; bittersweet path to conversion and the role of enjoyment in the Christian life; advice regarding the proper way to pray and read the Bible; teachings concerning the purpose of pain and how to confront suffering and loss; insights about the nature of heaven and hell. This course examines these fundamental topics not only through his classic works—including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man—but also through Lewis’s personal experiences with doubt, conversion, suffering, grief, and joy. Through this course, students will discover Lewis’s core lessons regarding the truth and goodness of the Christian faith and how to apply those lessons to one’s life.  Join us today in discovering C.S.

A Frank Sinatra hit song, a COVID-era mask callback, and a brutally smelly airplane converge into one uncomfortable truth: spiritual independence sounds great…until it doesn’t. The guys center on John 15 and the difference between staying connected to the source of life and slowly drifting into spiritual decay. Along the way, they land on two words they argue may be the most important in all of Scripture and figure out how to become best friends with Jesus. In this episode: Matthew 28, verses 18–20; Acts 17, verses 24–28; John 15, verses 1–17; 2 Corinthians 2, verses 14–16; Ephesians 1, verses 4–10; 1 John 2, verse 6; Hebrews 2, verses 5–9; Hebrews 12, verses 26–28; Psalm 8, verses 3–6 “Unashamed” Episode 1278 is sponsored by: https://timtebow.com/tree-unashamed —  Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get up to 20% off when you use our link or code UNASHAMED! https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!

Jase and Al welcome John and Paula Godwin to reflect on the kind of community that shows up in the hardest moments from medical crises to marital collapse and everything in between. They revisit seasons of fear, loss, and uncertainty, including Paula’s HIV needle-stick scare and the painful surgeries that tested Jase and Missy’s resolve. The conversation builds to the powerful “even if” faith of Daniel 3 — trusting God not only when He delivers what we ask for, but even if He doesn’t. In this episode: 1 John 2, verses 3–6; 1 John 3, verses 16–24; 1 John 4, verse 10; Daniel 3, verses 16–18; John 17 “Unashamed” Episode 1277 is sponsored by: https://fastgrowingtrees.com — Get 20% your first purchase when using the code UNASHAMED at checkout. https://bravebooks.com/unashamed — Get 20% off with code UNASHAMED https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Uncle Si insists his kids are proof there’s a God and that grace can transform even the most unlikely dad. He, Jase, and Al agree the greatest treasure isn’t gold at all, and while Si claims he’s discovered the fountain of youth, he’s still planning his own eulogy just in case. The guys dive into a deeper discussion about “special knowledge” in 1 John, what truly changes a man, and the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him.  In this episode: Proverbs 21, verses 30–31; Hebrews 11, verse 6; 1 John 3, verses 16 and 24; Romans 5, verse 10; 1 John 3, verses 1–10; 1 Corinthians 15, verse 17; 2 Thessalonians 1, verses 7–8; John 10, verse 18; Acts 2, verses 22–24 “Unashamed” Episode 1276 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

Jase repents to Tim Tebow after admitting he sorely misjudged him when they first met, assuming his bold faith was an act. Tim opens up about fatherhood, marriage, and the conviction that sparked Tim’s new book — imagining the crucifixion from the perspective of the tree that held Jesus. The guys wrestle with a piercing question: when we stay silent about Christ, is it because we don’t really believe the gospel or because we don’t love people enough?

The guys confess their most egregious romance fails from forgotten birthdays, last-minute Valentine’s plans, and bookstore traditions gone stale to wildly different philosophies on “setting the bar” in marriage. Al uses the pain of romance to highlight another truth: there’s pain that hurts, and pain that alters. That distinction becomes personal as Zach opens up about his mother’s long battle with early-onset dementia and the complicated grief that followed her passing. The conversation turns to one of Christianity’s hardest realities: if God is good and all-powerful, why does so much suffering continue in the world?  In this episode: Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11; Psalm 90, verse 12; Hebrews 12, verse 2; Colossians 2, verses 20–23; Romans 1, verses 24–25; Romans 8, verses 20–23; 1 John 2, verses 15–16; 1 John 4, verses 8–10 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 6 of C.S.

As cultural division deepens and politics dominate everyday life, Jase, Al, and Zach turn to First John to ask a harder question: if we claim to love God, do we love people who disagree with us? John writes, “This is how we know,” pointing back to two simple commands — believe in Jesus and love one another. In a polarized world fueled by outrage, love is the real test of faith. Plus, Jase has an unexpectedly emotional encounter in an airport terminal that leaves tears flowing and a life changed.  In this episode: 1 John 1, verses 6–9; 1 John 2, verses 1–6; 1 John 2, verses 28–29; 1 John 3, verses 1–3; 1 John 3, verses 10–24; 1 John 4, verses 2–13; 1 John 5, verses 2–3; 1 John 5, verse 20; Romans 4, verses 18–21; Matthew 18, verses 1–4 “Unashamed” Episode 1273 is sponsored by: https://www.bruntworkwear.com/unashamed — Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code Unashamed at checkout. https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Young people today are pushing past their skepticism toward religion to reconsider Jesus in a politically charged, post-truth global culture — something Jase witnesses firsthand after a particularly authentic Gospel presentation. Al meets a young man who “loves Jesus but loathes religion,” prompting the guys to consider the very real concerns people have about the ways human sin has affected churches and organized religion. Zach offers insight into what it truly means to be “born again” in an age obsessed with time, trends, and technology. Plus, Jase teaches young husbands how to execute a “pro move” when it comes to giving gifts to their wives. In this episode: Jeremiah 20, verse 9; John 5, verse 39; Luke 19, verses 1–10; John 3, verse 17; John 10, verse 10; 2 Corinthians 5, verses 18–20; 1 John 2, verses 28–29; 1 John 3, verse 2; 1 John 4, verse 4; 2 Kings 6, verses 15–17; 1 Peter 2, verse 25 “Unashamed” Episode 1272 is sponsored by: https://donewithdebt.com — Start building the life you deserve and talk with one of their strategists today.

With partisan politics taking center stage instead of athletic excellence at the Olympic Games, Jase, Al, and Zach wonder what happened to simple national pride. What was once a rare moment of unity now feels like another front in the culture wars. That frustration leads to a wild look back at the Robertsons’ own dangerously reckless “Backyard Winter Olympics,” where frozen ponds, car hoods, and homemade skis somehow didn’t end in tragedy. Beneath the cultural chaos runs a deeper question: if grace is real, why do we have to worry about doing what’s good and right?  In this episode: 1 John 2, verses 28–29; 1 John 3, verses 1–10; 1 John 4, verse 7; Romans 1, verses 1–5; Romans 5, verses 12–21; Romans 6, verses 1–11; Romans 7, verses 1–6; 1 Peter 1, verses 18–23; Hebrews 11, verse 1 “Unashamed” Episode 1271 is sponsored by: https://meetfabric.com/unashamed — Join the thousands of parents who trust Fabric to help protect their family. https://homechef.com/unashamed — Get 50% off and free shipping on your first box plus free dessert for life! https://rocketmoney.com/unashamed — Join Rocket Money and let them help you reach your financial goals faster. https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

As headlines warn that artificial intelligence could upend jobs, industries, and even human identity, Jase, Al, and Zach take a sober look at why the AI age feels so apocalyptic. From stock market panic to viral deepfakes and doomsday predictions, the guys acknowledge that massive cultural shifts are coming. But instead of giving in to a tailspin of fear, they pivot to Revelation and the steady promise that no technological revolution can dethrone Jesus.

Zach, Al, Christian, and John Luke dig into why unanswered prayers can feel like personal rejection from God—and how faith survives that silence. Zach surprises everyone first with his unexpected knowledge of cosmic anomalies, then with an embarrassing middle school dance rejection story he’s clearly still not over. The conversation turns to C.S. Lewis’s struggle with loss, doubt, and the “sincerity spiral” that nearly drove him from faith. His journey becomes a hopeful illustration of how to move your prayer life beyond fear and into something both deeply sincere and thoughtfully rooted in Christ.

The Super Bowl halftime show sparked outrage, but Jase, Al, and Zach argue that reaction misses the real issue.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian wrestle with why intimacy feels so difficult for American men—both with God and in marriage. Following along with C.S. Lewis’s Surprised by Joy, they explore how knowledge alone can’t produce real closeness, and why desire and longing shape the way men actually live. The guys challenge the idea that faith is about mastering concepts instead of participating in a relationship. They point toward a hopeful vision of intimacy that isn’t forced or performed, but rediscovered through joy, presence, and learning to live inside God’s story rather than observing it from a distance. Today’s conversation is about Lesson 3-4 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you!
