Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Willie Robertson’s lifelong love of burning things is back on full display, and it all traces back to Phil’s unique outlook on work and life. Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke shift to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and why Jesus entered history at just the right moment to challenge its power. The guys reframe Jesus’ statement about the “gates of hell,” showing how God’s kingdom advances rather than retreats, even in the face of intense persecution. Zach makes a confession that illustrates the envious side of human nature. In this episode: Matthew 16, verses 13–20; Matthew 11, verses 7–15; Hebrews 11, verses 13–16; James 3, verse 16 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 6 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine’s writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.

Jase celebrates the arrival of his newest grandson and the surprisingly old-school name that immediately sparked interest. Jase relates a powerful story of an Iranian family who didn’t believe in Jesus until a miraculous occurrence led them to faith they couldn’t deny. Al and Zach reflect on how moments like these reveal the real, lived-out power of the Gospel. The guys start a thought-provoking discussion on what the King James Version may have gotten incorrect and why it matters today.

Al, Jase, and Zach circle back to a powerful conversation about the subtle ways the enemy works to destroy our families. A deep dive into the origin of sin turns into a gut check on modern life, especially how constant busyness can quietly pull people away from God without them even realizing it. Zach connects the fear of death and the tendency to hide from judgment as part of a bigger spiritual battle most people underestimate. But Jesus points to a better way: real rest, real life, and a relationship with God that replaces fear with confidence and peace.  In this episode: 1 John 5, verse 19; Hebrews 4, verses 11–13; Revelation 1, verses 12–18; Hebrews 2, verses 14–15; Revelation 12, verses 9–11; Revelation 14, verses 6–13; 1 John 4, verses 13–21; John 6; John 14 “Unashamed” Episode 1307 is sponsored by: https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get up to 20% off when you use our link and code UNASHAMED! 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!

Al, Jase, and Zach wrestle with a tension a lot of Christians feel today: how to live with conviction without completely withdrawing from the world. The guys ponder where to draw the line and whether avoiding everything you disagree with actually misses the point. The discussion shifts into a deeper look at what Jesus meant by life, death, and eternal life, and how many of us may have misunderstood it all along. In this episode: Genesis 2, verse 9; Genesis 3, verses 22–24; John 3, verse 16; John 6, verses 25–65; John 11, verses 25–26; 1 John 1, verses 1–4; 1 John 4, verses 7–17; 1 John 5, verses 11–12; Romans 5, verses 12 and 21; Revelation 1, verses 17–18; Revelation 2, verse 7 “Unashamed” Episode 1306 is sponsored by: Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.

Jase, Al, and Zach highlight Granny Robertson’s timeless wisdom and the responsibility parents carry to model discipline, truth, and real love in their homes. The guys spark a conversation about what Jesus may have actually looked like, and challenge common misconceptions about heaven, death, and what it means to be alive in Christ right now. Jase looks deeper into how modern culture has watered down the meaning of “miracles,” contrasting everyday blessings with the truly supernatural events seen in Scripture.  In this episode: Romans 8, verses 19, 23, 25; Philippians 3, verse 20; Hebrews 9, verses 27–28; 1 John 3, verse 2; John 11, verses 3–44; 1 John 4, verses 10–21; 1 Corinthians 13, verses 1–13 “Unashamed” Episode 1305 is sponsored by: https://www.quo.com/unashamed — Try QUO for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months! https://www.covesmart.com/unashamed/ — Use code UNASHAMED at checkout for up to 70% off your first order! https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

John Luke, Christian, and Zach witness Al’s unexpected confession about a “girly” habit that he swears by. John Luke offers his perspective on why God doesn’t reveal Himself in obvious, overwhelming ways, and why Jesus followed that same pattern during His life on earth. The guys wrestle with modern skepticism, pointing out that many people reject God for not acting the way they expect. They dig into early church history, exposing how ancient false teachings about Jesus’ humanity and divinity are still resurfacing today in new forms.  In this episode: 1 John 4, verses 1–3; 2 John, verse 7; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–8; John 1, verses 1–14; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19; Romans 5, verses 12–21 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 5 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert.

Jase highlights a growing cultural crisis surrounding children in need of stable homes after being especially moved by the women in Missy’s mentorship group who are stepping up to the challenge. Al challenges the idea of treating Christianity like a checklist and instead points to a relationship with Christ as the foundation for a transformed life. The guys wrestle with the tension between God’s love and anger—exploring when anger is justified and how it ultimately flows from love rather than hate.

Jase, Al, Zach, and Missy kick things off with a candid conversation about beauty, aging, and the reality behind the things men and women do to feel confident. Missy shares stories from her girls’ trip to New York City, including a tense and political taxi encounter, while Mia’s independent attitude sheds light on generational differences and life outside small-towns. A thrift store find highlights Jase’s obliviousness to famous artwork, and Zach plots out a secret hairplug journey.  In this episode: 1 Samuel 16; Proverbs 31; Romans 8, verse 19; Romans 8, verse 23; Luke 12; 1 Peter 1, verse 7; 1 Peter 4; 1 John 4, verses 7-21 “Unashamed” Episode 1302 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

Al reflects on the loss of Chuck Norris, which sparks a nostalgic look at larger-than-life tough guys and leads straight into reminiscing about Phil’s hardest-hitting, most unbelievable moments, including jaw-dropping procedures without anesthesia. The guys wrestle with the spiritual reality behind good and evil, and what Jesus truly accomplished through his resurrection, emphasizing that love, not punishment, is at the center of the Gospel and that real strength is found in being ready for what comes after this life.

Jase, Al, and Zach take a deeper look at the story of Noah’s flood, revealing a darker and more complex backdrop than the version most of us grew up with. The guys explore the unnatural evil plaguing the world before the flood and why it led to such a dramatic reset. They shift to the resurrection of Jesus and why it’s the moment that makes the entire story of Scripture come into focus. Jase highlights an often-overlooked detail that points to a physical, restored future that changes everything about eternity. In this episode: 1 John 3; Genesis 9; Genesis 6; Genesis 3, verse 15; Genesis 3; Genesis 1, verse 28; Romans 8, verses 9-23; Romans 8, verse 19; Hebrews 2, verses 11-14; Ephesians 3, verse 10; Acts 10; Leviticus 17 (or 18); John 20 “Unashamed” Episode 1300 is sponsored by: https://bravebooks.com/Easter — Get “The Day That Made the Way” completely FREE, plus a NEW children’s book every month when you join BRAVE Book Club! https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Christian sparks a little "beach envy" by checking in from Florida while John Luke is stuck with the oily pond next door, and the guys get a lighthearted update on life with newborn twins. Zach and Al help trace how Jesus entered a world driven by power, fear, and control. With Rome, religious leaders, and the crowd all fighting to protect their influence, the same forces driving their decisions still show up today, pointing to a bigger story where surrender—not control—defines true power. In this episode: Matthew 3, verses 13–17; Matthew 4; Mark 9; John 1, verse 29; Psalm 139; Psalm 51; Hosea 11, verse 1; John 11; Acts 6; John 18; 1 Corinthians 15 Today’s conversation is about Lessons 4 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert.

Jase, Al, and Zach on the growing cultural obsession with self-affirmation, “manifesting,” and the idea that truth comes from within, warning how these popular beliefs subtly replace God with self. They’re joined by author and Christian apologist Melissa Doherty, who shares her journey out of the New Thought movement and explains how feel-good spirituality can distort the Gospel while still sounding Christian. The guys relive their chaotic crawfish business that ended in blood poisoning and helped redirect their lives. They land on a powerful contrast between self-made truth and the light of Jesus, challenging listeners to consider whether they’re drawn to the light—or avoiding it.

Jase, Al, and Zach kick things off with a nostalgic dive into classic rock, using songs from Foreigner, Sweet, and AC/DC to highlight how culture has long wrestled with defining love. The guys open the door to a deeper look at how modern views on love, sexuality, and identity have drifted from their original intent. Zach contrasts cultural messaging with a life-giving model of love rooted in sacrifice, purpose, and connection. They offer a simple but powerful filter for life: whether our choices lead to fullness and life or isolation and destruction.

Jase, Al, and Zach wrestle with what it means to live unoffendable in a culture fueled by outrage, echoing Phil’s reminder that a life rooted in Christ can’t be canceled by the world. Al lightens things up with a quirky breakdown of the Robertson family archetypes. They unpack Jesus’ words in Mark 12 about being “close to the kingdom,” challenging the difference between simply believing the right things about God and fully surrendering to him.  In this episode: Mark 12, verses 28–34; Colossians 2, verse 14; 1 John 4, verses 7–8; Daniel 7, verses 13–14; Matthew 26, verses 62–64; Galatians 2, verse 20; Ephesians 5, verses 1–2; Genesis 22, verse 2 “Unashamed” Episode 1296 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Jase, Zach, and Al challenge the modern idea of love and romance, pointing out how shallow, consumptive, and ultimately unsatisfying it’s become. Zach confesses his covetous heart with a funny story about Willie’s fancy new gadget that turns into a bigger realization about how easily our desires are shaped by algorithms and constant scrolling. Jase contrasts that with Phil’s example of a life lived free from the noise and untouched by the pressures of modern culture. It all leads to a bigger question: if everything around us is shaping what we want and believe, who—or what—is really leading us?

John Luke and Zach respond to sharp criticism, pushing back on a mindset that shuts down honest questions instead of engaging them. Al walks through the historical events that set the stage for Christianity’s explosion onto the world scene, including Nero’s brutal persecution of Jesus’ followers. Meanwhile, Christian digs into the cultural significance of the gymnasium and how it revealed the tension between Greek and Jewish ways of life. Today’s conversation is about Lessons 3 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine’s writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.

Jase spots a bug crawling in a stranger’s hair and steps in to remove it himself, triggering a mix of relief, shock, and secondhand embarrassment. Al and Zach join Jase’s attempt to detect a subtle message from a Pink Floyd hit about who—or what—is really influencing us. The guys lay out a clear, practical litmus test for recognizing false prophets, especially when faith starts to look more like a business than truth. They confront the real damage that can be done when spiritual voices miss the moment people need them most, and how to hold onto what’s real when everything else feels twisted.

Phil’s bold line resurfaces as the guys reflect on his lasting impact and what it means to carry his legacy into a new era without him. As the Robertson family grows and roles begin to shift, they wrestle with what it looks like for men to lead well and for older generations to train the next. Jase pushes back on a phone-obsessed culture that avoids hardship, arguing that real growth still comes the hard way. The guys investigate testing truth by its fruit, why real faith can’t be faked, and how following Jesus always leaves its mark.

Phil Robertson had a surprising way of settling arguments with his boys when they got into trouble, and the guys dig into a bigger conversation about why so many men today struggle to lead their families. Turning to Genesis, the guys examine the roles given to men and women—roles humanity has wrestled with since the beginning and that modern culture only seems to complicate further. Zach helps explain how believers can test the spirits and recognize truth through Scripture and the fruit of the Spirit.

Korie reflects on the joy of a growing Robertson family and what this new season of life with Willie looks like as grandkids, changing roles, and everyday sacrifices reshape their perspective on love. Jase recounts his embarrassing loss in a showdown with a bear on Willie’s putting green and the real story behind the infamous HOA chicken dispute that made its way into a “Duck Dynasty” episode. Korie shares about the emotional tribute to Phil in “Duck Dynasty: The Revival” and the powerful legacy he left behind. The guys, Korie, and Jill wrestle with what true greatness really means and why Jesus flipped the world’s definition of it upside down through love, sacrifice, and service.
