Unashamed with the Robertson Family

John Luke opens up about deconstructing his faith after years of hearing Christians use the Bible to defend conflicting ideas. Al and Christian wrestle with a local tragedy of a child’s unexpected death and the questions it raises about grief, justice, and God’s presence. The guys trace the rise of “my truth” back through the Enlightenment, naturalism, and the split between faith and reason, then consider whether artificial intelligence could be ushering in another massive shift in how people understand truth.

In this episode: Psalm 139; Acts 17; Daniel 3:17-18; Jeremiah 20; Isaiah 55:8-11; Isaiah 1:18; Genesis 22; Hebrews 11; John 1:1-14; Job 2:3; Job 42; John 9; Romans 1; Romans 10

Todd Lollar has lived with cerebral palsy his entire life, but the Robertsons see in him the same relentless fire for Jesus that defined Phil. Todd opens up about the moment he stopped viewing his weakness as something holding him back and began seeing it as a place for God’s power to work through him. Jase and Al reflect on the emptiness of worldly success, the cost of openly following Jesus, and why Christians shouldn’t wait for people to walk into a church before bringing the Gospel to them. Todd gets an emotional surprise reunion with longtime friend Gary Osborne and challenges believers to intentionally bring Jesus into their families, friendships, workplaces, and everyday encounters.

Korie Robertson is taking steps to restore something generationally important that many modern families seem to have lost: the intentional work of keeping families connected. She puts a name to that work — “kinkeeping” — as the guys and Korie look at the Robertson family’s own traditions and the importance of passing faith, stories, and family life forward. Jase opens up about missing Phil daily, why working the family land still makes him feel close, and teaming up with Willie to give Zach a hard time over a squabble that becomes a full-fledged family pile-on.
