Unashamed with the Robertson Family

They debate why truth and objective moral values clash with modern culture. They link C.S. Lewis’s storytelling to how faith invites participation rather than mere arguing. They discuss Lewis’s path to conversion, the problem of evil, and why pro-life conviction is not just a personal preference. They consider imagination, suffering, and how stories change hearts.

Family memories of a first season without Phil lead to reflections on legacy, work ethic, and living off the land. A surprising reunion unfolds through a letter, a photo, and the phrase "I never knew." The conversation explores trauma, forgiveness, and how truth told late in life can begin healing.

Jase opens up about late-season duck hunting, exhaustion, and a call he wishes he could take back, owning a miss that came from pushing himself too far. Phil’s old-school wisdom and the legendary ham bribe prove  lessons that still hold up when put to the test. The guys turn to why confidence and self-help can only take you so far when it comes to real change. Plus, Jase discovers Napoleon Dynamite about 25 years too late!
