Unashamed with the Robertson Family

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 wit...

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?

Plus, Jase has an u...

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.

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.

But instead of giving in to a tailspin of fear, they pivot to Revelation and the steady pr...

Zach, Al, Christian, and John Luke dig into why unanswered prayers can feel like personal rejection from God—and how faith survives that silence.

The conversation turns to C.S. Lewis’s struggle with loss, doubt, and the “sinceri...

Jase, Al, and Zach welcome MercyMe frontman Bart Millard for a raw discussion about childhood abuse, inherited trauma, depression, and the weight of fatherhood.

The Super Bowl halftime show sparked outrage, but Jase, Al, and Zach argue that reaction misses the real issue. Using Bad Bunny’s performance and TPUSA’s alternate halftime featuring Kid Rock as a contrast, they cover why cultural moments like this reveal a deeper spiritual battle.  Plus, Jase makes the case that when it comes to lasting hope, the Easter Bunny is still the better bunny anyway. In...

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...

The Epstein files spark a sobering conversation about corruption, secrecy, and the cost of unchecked power. The guys examine why evil operating in darkness should never shock us, and how history, Scripture, and human nature all point to the same outcome when desire goes unrestrained. Jase shares a harrowing travel story that turns into a reminder of how quickly our illusion of control can disappea...

As the world feels increasingly dark and chaotic, Jase, Al, and Zach argue that what we’re experiencing isn’t just cultural or political—it’s spiritual.

The conversation ultimately points to hope, reminding listeners that Christ came...

Kasey shares her own story of infidelity, exposure, and redemption,...

The Robertsons dig into why truth doesn’t always play well in modern culture, and why Jesus wouldn’t be popular in a TikTok world built on virality and approval. The guys talk through everything from their long-running distrust of dentists to why being pro-life isn’t a matter of personal preference or opinion. They reflect on how stories like The Chronicles of Narnia communicate hard truths better...

As the Robertsons begin wrapping up their first full duck season without Phil, they reflect on legacy, hard work, and the faith that shaped their family.

The guys and Phyllis discuss trauma, forgiveness, and how truth spoken eve...

Jase opens up about late-season duck hunting, exhaustion, and a call he wishes he could take back, owning a miss that came from pushing himself too far.

Linking Hebrews to the Old Testament, the guys explore how Jesus bridges heaven and earth in a way most people miss. In th...

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian reflect on a moment when Phil, a man who rarely got emotional, was moved to tears after witnessing the reality of unimaginable evil. The guys launch into a sobering conversation about why atrocities like the Holocaust can never be reduced to opinion or explained away, and why denying such evil ultimately erodes the very idea of right and wrong. Drawing on the wor...

President Trump being given the Nobel Peace Prize by the Venezuelan opposition leader creates the perfect moment to contrast the world’s version of peace with God’s.

They connect true peace to faithfulness in parenting, marriage, and ev...

Jase, Al, and Zach condemn a Minnesota church protest as “pure chaos” while expressing sympathy for the pastor forced to restore order as kids cried and the service unraveled. The conversation widens to how protest culture, immigration clashes, and nonstop crisis headlines are driving national anxiety and division. As “storm of the century” headlines fuel panic across the South, the guys cut throu...

Jase, Al, and Zach reflect on Phil’s uncanny ability to see through people, often calling out the truth before anyone admitted it, and how that instinct shaped the way he raised his sons.

The guys dig into why confession isn’t weakness, why the cover-up of...

Al shares how he ended up on Fox News defending his podcast comments about liberal policies in major cities, while the guys laugh about the media repeatedly crediting the wrong Robertson for the same quotes.
