Ep 1179 | Robertson Teenagers Turn Chaos Into a Family Sport & Obedience That Leads to Life
Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke are joined by Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College, teacher of the Genesis course they’ve been studying for weeks. The guys debate over who’s the current “fat brother” now that Al has lost weight, and wild parenting stories of Robertson teens flipping trucks, stabbing couches, and launching fireworks inside the bath house have them questioning their parenting choices. Dr. Jackson helps the guys trace themes of poetry, politics, and thought-provoking theories throughout Genesis.
In this episode: Genesis 4, verses 6–7; Genesis 18, verses 10–15; Genesis 21, verses 1–7; Matthew 5, verses 23–24; 1 Peter 2, verse 9; Ephesians 6, verse 4

Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece.
This free online course explores some of the work’s major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path towards reconciliation.

Ep 1178 | Willie & Jase Robertson Revisit Phil’s Legacy & The Question Your Obituary Should Answer
Willie and Jase lean hard into brotherly rivalry as Willie reveals his slow-drip strategy for getting under Jase’s skin, then they turn their sights on Zach for some good-natured teasing. Al notes that both brothers are channeling their inner Phil, and Willie credits Phil for inspiring his latest book, “Courage: 40 Days to Sharing Your Faith.” The guys contrast Zacchaeus’s willing heart with the rich young ruler’s unwilling spirit and deliver a legacy gut-check: when it’s all over, what will people say your life was really about?
In this episode: Romans 10, verse 17; Luke 19, verses 1–10; Luke 18, verses 18–30; Galatians 5, verses 19–26; Galatians 2, verses 11–14; John 17, verses 18–23; 1 Peter 3, verse 15; Colossians 4, verse 6.

Ep 1177 | Jase Sees Signs of Awakening as Young People Flock to Church & God Doesn’t Live in Buildings
Jase confesses that a single word in a church service had him mentally checked out, but his distraction sparks a bigger conversation about what’s happening in churches today. The guys marvel at the surprising revival that has young people pouring back into humble, overflowing gatherings while ornate cathedrals sit empty. They dive into verses in John where Jesus breathes peace and new-creation life into his followers before sending them out to their mission fields. The guys agree that true revival isn’t about where you worship but who you worship, and the Spirit is stirring hearts back to Jesus.
In this episode: John 17, verse 18; John 20, verses 19–22; John 14, verses 1–3; 1 Corinthians 3, verses 6–16; Revelation 21, verses 9–21; Romans 1, verses 20–25; Exodus 33, verses 14–16; Genesis 1, verse 1; 1 John 2, verse 6

Ep 1176 | The Robertsons Respond to the Michigan Church Attack & Cling to Truth in a World of Lies
News of the Michigan Mormon church attack launches the guys straight into a hard look at Truth in a world that loves to believe in lies. Zach centers the conversation on Jesus as the Truth and argues that when leaders act as the law, societies drift into violence, chaos and dehumanization. Jase spends a weekend doling out “manliness” lessons to kids as an antidote to a culture that confuses bravado with truth.

Ep 1175 | Jase Gets a Peek Behind the Scenes of “The Chosen” Season 6 & Why Faith Is Hard in Hollywood
Jase, Al, and Zach sit down with Dallas Jenkins, director of “The Chosen,” for a candid peek behind the scenes on faith and filmmaking. Jase shares how Phil used to deal with producers who wanted to water down his Jesus talk, and Dallas walks through the show’s guardrails including script review, theological checks and balances, and a constant aim to point viewers back to Scripture. The guys explore the industry’s pressure to soften explicit faith, and how to keep Jesus’ name loud and clear when the world doesn’t want to hear it.

Ep 1174 | Jase Is Named the Robertson Tattletale & Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors Steals the Show
Al and Zach kick things off by playfully debating the biggest Robertson “tattletale,” with Jase catching most of the friendly fire. Christian Huff admits he’s not a fighter, and John Luke says he might be able to take his younger, much bigger brother, Will. The guys trace Joseph’s story, from the colorful coat that annoyed his eleven brothers to the Egypt years. John Luke reflects on Joseph’s naïveté throughout his journey, from being sold into slavery as revenge to becoming one of the most powerful men in Egypt. Zach illustrates how a family feud becomes a family rescue and how this line ultimately sets the stage for Jesus, the Lion of Judah.
In this episode: Genesis 1, verse 28; Genesis 9, verse 1; Genesis 37–50; Genesis 42; Genesis 45, verses 3–7; Exodus 1, verses 1–7; Revelation 5, verses 1–6

Ep 1173 | Jase Defends His Uncle Si–Style Storytelling & Jesus Says Eternal Life Starts Now
Jase marvels at how the “exaggeration gene” seems to run in the family, from Uncle Si to himself to his son, Reed, after his son laughs off a notice from the electric company. Zach digs up a vintage video of Jase that’s suddenly making the rounds online again, and Al peeks behind the curtain at how podcast titles are crafted. The guys and Brighton explore Jesus’ promise of peace, joy, and love in John 16, and the gift of eternal life that starts now. They trace God’s manifest presence from Exodus to the Gospels, showing why “in Jesus’ name” is no password trick but a living presence.

Ep 1171 | Jase Confronts the Celebrity Baptizer Craze After Missy’s Poolside Moment
Missy surprises Jase with news of her first baptism during a late-night women’s retreat, and Jase recalls why he avoids celebrity baptizer requests and altar calls, keeping the focus on Jesus instead of distractions. Al shares a reflection on Charlie Sheen’s infamous “winning” interview, contrasting it with the true victory Jesus promises in John 16. Zach jumps in to explain that God’s commands aren’t a “buzzkill” but real freedom when the Spirit is living in you.

Ep 1170 | Willie Pranks Tim Tebow Like a King of Overkill & How the Gospel Humbles Our Pride
The guys riff on the Robertson brand of “thick skin,” and Jase credits his being “unoffendable” to his brotherhood with Willie—whose prank on Tim Tebow recently went a bit overboard. Jase recounts the saga of his long-locked Twitter account, and Zach finds the one thing that actually really pushes Jase’s buttons. They explore how the Spirit convicts and guides us into all truth, shifting us from transaction to transformation.
