Unashamed with the Robertson Family

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 Today's conversation is an overview of The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

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.

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. “Unashamed” Episode 1177 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

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 “Unashamed” Episode 1177 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al is finally losing weight!

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. In this episode: John 6, verses 26, 32, 38–40; John 10, verse 10; John 17, verses 12, 15–23, 26; John 18, verses 20, 23, 36–37; Acts 2, verses 24, 27, 29–33; Ezekiel 36, verses 25–27, 30, 35–37 “Unashamed” Episode 1176 is sponsored by: https://mybrightcore.com/unashamed — Kimchi One from Brightcore – Improve your health, improve your life.

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. In this episode: John 5, verses 39–40; Hebrews 1, verses 1–3; John 2, verse 19; John 14–16; John 17, verse 11; John 17, verse 12; John 17, verses 18–20; Luke 24, verses 13–35; Acts 1, verse 6 “Unashamed” Episode 1175 is sponsored by: Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.

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 Today's conversation is about lesson 6 of The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

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.

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.  In this episode: John 16; 1 Corinthians 1, verse 17; Romans 10, verses 9–10; Acts 8, verses 26–39; Acts 16, verses 13–15; 1 John 1, verses 6–7; 1 John 2, verses 1–2; 1 John 3, verses 4–6; 1 John 5, verses 2–3; Romans 6, verses 1–4; Colossians 2, verses 9–15; Hebrews 5, verses 12–14; Genesis 2, verses 9; John 7, verse 39; Matthew 5, verse 48 “Unashamed” Episode 1171 is sponsored by: https://andrewandtodd.com or call 888-888-1172 — These guys are the real deal.

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. In this episode: John 16; John 12, verse 36; John 4, verses 21–24; Ephesians 4, verses 17–32; Ephesians 5, verses 1–20; Romans 12, verses 1–2; Romans 8, verses 1–6; 1 Thessalonians 5, verse 4; Genesis 1, verses 1–3; Exodus 3, verses 1–6; Romans 1, verses 19–20; Philippians 2, verses 5–8; Galatians 5, verses 22–23 “Unashamed” Episode 1170 is sponsored by: https://www.puretalk.com/unashamed — Make the switch today & save an extra 50% off your first month! https://duckstamp.com/unashamed  — Get your all-new digital duck stamp today.
