This week on The Narrative, we bring you an unforgettable message from Duck Dynasty star, author, and entrepreneur Willie Robertson, recorded live at CCV’s 2025 Essential Summit.

With his signature humor and down-to-earth storytelling, Willie shares a powerful testimony of God’s redemption in his own family, how his parents’ marriage was miraculously restored, and how one bold preacher’s decision to walk into a bar changed generations.

Willie also opens up about the surprising origins of Duck Dynasty, why the show’s unapologetic faith and family values resonated with millions, and what its success reveals about the hunger in America for something real.

But this episode isn’t just laughs and stories. Willie issues a clear call to believers: stop letting the world tell you to keep quiet about your faith. From government and entertainment to the conversations we have with our neighbors, he challenges Christians to step into their mission with courage, compassion, and the hope of the gospel.

If you need encouragement and a reminder of what God can do through ordinary people who refuse to stay silent, you won't want to miss this one.
