Unashamed with the Robertson Family

The Robertson family welcomes another new baby as John Luke and Christian celebrate becoming uncles again, and the guys remark on the growing number of grandkids filling up the family compound. From there, Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke turn to Homer’s “The Odyssey” and the surprisingly modern warnings buried inside its stories of pride, pleasure, distrust, and temptation. They connect Odysseus’ downfall to today’s struggles with pornography, drug addiction, doomscrolling, and the constant pull of quick dopamine. The guys also look at how Scripture gives a fuller answer to the moral truths Homer recognized, and why faith, community, and Christ matter when it comes to breaking those cycles.

In this episode: Romans 1; Romans 2:14-16; Genesis 6; Genesis 11; Ephesians 4:17-32; Titus 1:10-13; Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9

Today’s conversation is about Lesson 5 & 6 of The Odyssey taught by Hillsdale Professor Dr. Benedict Whalen. Take the course with us at no cost to you!

More about The Odyssey:

The Odyssey tells the tale of the cunning and crafty hero of the Trojan War on his journey home. After ten years of war, Odysseus faces another ten years of fantastic temptations, deadly monsters, treacherous seas, and impious men. Meanwhile, Ithaca is threatened by suitors who plague his wife and plunder his wealth. When Odysseus reaches home, he must slay the suitors, test the loyalty of his friends and family, and restore order to his marriage and his kingdom.

Join Dr. Benedict Whalen as he explores themes of love, marriage, kingship, duty, and piety. Encounter Homer's epic, which displays the full human experience. In a world of uncertainty, Odysseus charts a path towards peace through perseverance, prudence, and justice.

Join Odysseus on his fantastic journey home from Troy in Homer’s unrivaled story.

The Wild Brothers grew up deep in the jungles of Indonesia, where their family lived among the Wano people before teaching them the Bible. They recount a childhood surrounded by fear of evil spirits, witch doctors, malaria, and intense spiritual opposition, until the incredible moment they watched the Gospel take hold. Al, Jase, Morgan, and Kian trace the unlikely connection between their family and ‘Duck Dynasty,’ which helped inspire their own adventure-based ministry. Today, the Wild Brothers are encouraging families to get outside, grow in their faith, and see following Jesus as the ultimate adventure.

Uncle Si’s medical equipment causes chaos on his trip home, but he quickly turns the tension into an impromptu airplane concert, rhinestones and all. Jase discovers that his old ‘Duck Dynasty’ HOA problems never really ended when a neighborhood trash issue leaves him trimming trees from the hood of his truck and paying the price for trying to help. Al connects the discussion of anointing to a powerful moment in Lisa’s faith journey, and the guys close out James 5 by digging into prayer, confession, healing, and why Elijah’s extraordinary story still begins with the reminder that he was a human being just like us.

Former country singer Granger Smith opens up about hitting rock bottom alone on a tour bus after the devastating loss of his 3-year-old son, River, and the moment he finally cried out to God. Granger tells Jase, Al, and Zach why Scripture eventually convinced him to walk away from a successful music career. Jase and Granger agree on why emotion-driven altar calls aren't the same as becoming a disciple of Jesus. Granger also gives a stunning answer when asked whether he would go back and prevent his son’s death if he could, leading to an honest conversation about grief, eternity, and trusting God through unimaginable loss. Granger also discusses his new book, Poison in the Well: 11 Toxic Beliefs That Kept Me From the Living Water of Jesus, which grew out of the beliefs and assumptions he had to confront in his own life.

In this episode: John 14:22-23; Matthew 1; John; Hebrews 4:12; Matthew 16:24-26; Psalm 42:1-2; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 23:43; Philippians 1:23; Psalm 23:4; Psalm 90:12; Hebrews 2:14-15; 2 Corinthians 7:10

Uncle Si earns a new nickname after proving he can still hang with the younger bucks, and an old proverb of Phil’s sparks a conversation about ego, failure, and learning to serve instead of seeking the spotlight. A popular end-times interpretation gets put to the test as Jase, Al, and Zach dig into James 5, Matthew 24, and Jesus’ warning about the destruction of the temple. The guys examine whether passages often connected to the final tribulation were actually pointing to judgment that would come within that generation, while still affirming Christ’s future return.

In this episode: James 1:1; James 2:1; James 3; James 5:1-11; Matthew 23:37; Matthew 24:1-24; Mark 13; Luke 21; Genesis 4; Genesis 18-19; Genesis 21; Exodus 30; John 2; 1 Corinthians 6; Ephesians 2; Revelation 21-22; Ezra 2; Nehemiah
