Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Jase rehashes the behind-the-scenes ‘Duck Dynasty’ snake bite that never made the show, including the 9-fingered snake handler and Willie streaming blood on camera. Al’s visit to Bella’s Duck Commander office leads the guys into a bigger reflection on Phil’s tiny original duck call shop and the evidence that Phil’s mission has now lasted four generations. The guys explore the dignity of honest work, why every job can become a platform for Jesus, and how Christians are needed in the marketplace just as much as they’re needed in the church.

Al, Jase, and Zach call out the entitlement mindset that turns gifts into demands, and Zach traces how a me-first mindset can make comfort and success feel empty. The guys connect that cultural trap to Solomon’s downfall, showing what happens when wealth, power, women, and success capture our desires. Jase takes aim at Western civilization's obsession with actors and celebrity culture, asking why we celebrate people for pretending to be someone else while ignoring the same kind of hypocrisy when in real life.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian connect the hidden influence of faithful mothers from Constantine’s mom to Miss Kay with the way one unknown believer can change history through a single faithful conversation. The guys look at Constantine’s complicated legacy, from the Nicene Creed and the spread of Christianity to his violent family history and deathbed baptism. They also connect ancient Rome’s struggle over faith, power, and paganism to modern America’s temptation to make Jesus smaller than politics, party loyalty, personal peace, or cultural identity.

In this episode: 1 John 4, verse 8; 1 John 4, verse 10; John 1, verses 1–14; Philippians 2, verses 5–11; 1 John 2, verses 18–23; 2 John 1, verse 7; John 17, verse 3; Acts 17, verse 24

Today’s conversation is about Lesson 10 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.

Jase, Al, Zach, and Christian sit down with Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church and author of “Becoming Like Jesus,” to talk about Matt’s rough childhood, the church camp that changed his life, and why following Jesus is usually slower, messier, and more painful than people expect. Jase remembers taking a beating instead of fighting back and watching the man who attacked him later come to church wanting to hear about Jesus. The guys also dig into why suffering can expose what God wants to heal, and why the church is still the place where flawed people learn to love — and sometimes simply tolerate — one another.

In this episode: Luke 15, verse 17; Hebrews 12, verse 2; Isaiah 61, verse 3; Matthew 5, verses 3–12; Psalm 27, verse 4; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–2; 1 Corinthians 6, verses 9–11; Exodus 13, verses 17–18; Romans 5, verses 3–5; James 1, verses 2–4

Al, Jase, and Zach reflect on Al’s powerful visit to a Louisiana prison, where hundreds of men gathered to hear the Gospel and a group of fathers prepared for a long-awaited visit with their children. Al talks about following in Phil’s footsteps through prison ministry, the unexpected Robertson cousin he met behind bars, and the hope men can still find when they choose a new future for their families. Jase also shares the wild story of a duck hunter whose run-in with an alligator became the rock-bottom moment that sent him back to God.
