Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Miss Kay gets a reminder that her cooking legacy lives on when Lisa serves a meal that tastes like home. Jase recounts a moment 33 years in the making, and the guys discuss turning Halloween into an opportunity to bring Jesus into their neighborhoods. Zach relives a moment over the weekend about a woman who asked God to show up in her life just before stumbling onto his family’s Halloween gathering, where backyard worship led to deeper conversations about Jesus and a visit to church. Al connects these stories to lifelong faith, and the guys explore why God’s love is better than life itself.

Jase, Al and Zach challenge a culture that treats correction as an attack and personal desires as the final authority on right and wrong. Jase revisits Sodom and Gomorrah to confront the “Don’t Judge Me” defense, while Al reflects on the emptiness of his rebellious years and the boundaries that helped protect his marriage. Zach contrasts chasing endless satisfaction with the freedom of surrendering to Jesus. A disturbing passage in Ezekiel brings the discussion back to misplaced trust, the consequences of rejecting God and his promise of redemption.

Al stirs up a Robertson family feud with a food competition that leaves everyone choosing sides. The guys kick off their new Hillsdale College course, Western Heritage: From Genesis to John Locke and dig into the surprising differences between biblical and ancient pagan creation stories, Israel's disastrous demand for an earthly king and the biblical principles that helped shape America's founding. They also examine the dangers of concentrated power, the roots of human equality and why history keeps proving that mankind struggles to surrender control to God.

Jase draws the line when his grandson takes a practical joke too far, prompting Zach to confess his own outrageous pranks and a particularly twisted stunt from his past. Al recounts his Aunt Jan’s prophecy about Jase and Missy's marriage years before it happened, then the guys turn to the disturbing story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Zach argues that the sexual revolution has reached a dark turning point, challenging modern ideas about identity, freedom and the human body. The guys connect ancient biblical warnings to today's culture and examine why God's boundaries are meant to protect us rather than restrict us.

Jase recounts how a friend's tense encounter with his neighbors turned into a real-life Clint Eastwood moment, leading to a discussion about choosing between life and death. Zach digs into the disturbing history of eugenics, its connections to Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood, and the influence he believes those ideas still have on modern culture. The guys connect the rebellion of fallen angels to Satan's claim over the earth and examine how Jesus' death and resurrection reclaimed God's creation. They also challenge popular beliefs about the end times, explore Jesus' role as our kinsman-redeemer and consider what it means for Christians to inherit the earth.

Texas pastor and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s abortion answer sparks a challenge to the idea that planning determines a child’s worth. Jase, Al, and Zach connect the debate to God’s purpose for the family throughout Scripture, with Zach reflecting on his own five children’s unplanned beginnings. Jase also recounts a weekend with Willie, a thrill-seeking invitation from two Navy SEALs, and a 101-year-old veteran who refused to budge. The guys dig deeper into Jude, the Nephilim, and spiritual rebellion before disagreeing about whether fallen angels fully understood their choice.

In this episode: Genesis 1:28; Genesis 4:7; Numbers 13:27–33; Matthew 5:5; Matthew 16:15–18; 1 Corinthians 6:3; Philippians 2:10–11; 2 Timothy 3:1–9; Jude 1:5–7, 14–15

A 3,000-year-old story hits surprisingly close to home as Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke wrap up their journey through Homer's Odyssey. Al gets personal about his and Lisa's marriage struggles, infidelity, and the hard road to restoration, while the guys consider what the ancient epic reveals about the importance of marriage, fatherhood, and the foundations of civilization. They also revisit the Robertsons' notoriously competitive family game nights, debate the difference between justice and revenge, and Zach connects the Odyssey's homecoming to the Gospel and explains how an ancient story ultimately points toward Jesus.

In this episode: Romans 1:20; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Matthew 25:31–46; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 15:19; Luke 16:19–31; John 10:10; Acts 17:24–31

Today’s conversation is about Lessons 11 & 12 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 Jesus who offers forgiveness is also the terrifying judge we’ll face, and that’s a harder picture to hang on the wall. Jase, Al, and Zach challenge the comfortable version of Jesus that leaves out his power, authority, and judgment as they continue through Jude. The guys confront church imposters, the excuses that sustain a double life, and the temptation to treat grace as permission to keep sinning. They also trace the Bible’s warnings about fallen angels and consider a possible connection between an ancient sacrificial ritual and the spiritual forces Jesus defeated.

In this episode: Genesis 5:18–24; Genesis 6:1–3; John 17:5, 11; Acts 17:31; 1 Corinthians 7:4–5, 32–35; 1 Corinthians 10:1–13; Hebrews 11:5; Hebrews 12:22–28; Hebrews 13:2, 11–17; 2 Peter 2:1; Jude 1–6, 9, 14–16; Revelation 1:12–17

A dangerous conspiracy theory about a school shooting pushes Zach to confront a man he knows personally, and the response is even more disturbing than the claims themselves. Jase and Al join Zach in examining America's obsession with conspiracy theories, political battles, and other distractions that keep people from confronting problems in their own lives. Meanwhile, Jase's morning descends into chaos involving a fire truck, a terrifying spider, and losing some hair. The guys also dig into the book of Jude, exploring the strange biblical accounts of fallen angels, sexual immorality, and the forbidden boundaries between the human and spiritual realms.
