Help Her Be Brave Podcast

The Day Al Robertson Realized the Church Got It Wrong


Listen Later

In this heartfelt conversation, Amy welcomes Al Robertson, the "beardless brother" from Duck Dynasty. Al opens up about a decades-old mistake, a tearful apology, and the lesson that changed how he approaches life, faith, and ministry.

Al shares:

  • His family's story of life — how his mother Kay was only 16 when she became pregnant with him, shaping his lifelong passion for protecting and celebrating life.
  • Lisa's story of an unplanned pregnancy and redemption — and how their ministry now helps other women make better choices through community, grace, and support.
  • A painful moment of conviction — when Al realized he had enforced a church policy that denied a baby blessing to an unwed mother, and how God led him to embrace grace instead of shame.
  • Why grace works — how churches can move from punitive approaches to welcoming young women and their babies, offering showers, support, and a true "welcome home."
  • Legacy & urgency — after losing his father Phil Robertson, Al reflects on passing down faith and values to future generations.

He closes by encouraging churches to become a place where women in unplanned pregnancies can be brave, choose life, and experience God's kindness.
