Ep 1299 | The Same Dark Forces That Killed Jesus Still Drive Culture Today

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Christian sparks a little "beach envy" by checking in from Florida while John Luke is stuck with the oily pond next door, and the guys get a lighthearted update on life with newborn twins. Zach and Al help trace how Jesus entered a world driven by power, fear, and control. With Rome, religious leaders, and the crowd all fighting to protect their influence, the same forces driving their decisions still show up today, pointing to a bigger story where surrender—not control—defines true power. In this episode: Matthew 3, verses 13–17; Matthew 4; Mark 9; John 1, verse 29; Psalm 139; Psalm 51; Hosea 11, verse 1; John 11; Acts 6; John 18; 1 Corinthians 15 Today’s conversation is about Lessons 4 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine’s writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.

Ep 1298 | She Left a Movement She Once Believed Was Christian … Millions Still Belong

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase, Al, and Zach on the growing cultural obsession with self-affirmation, “manifesting,” and the idea that truth comes from within, warning how these popular beliefs subtly replace God with self. They’re joined by author and Christian apologist Melissa Doherty, who shares her journey out of the New Thought movement and explains how feel-good spirituality can distort the Gospel while still sounding Christian. The guys relive their chaotic crawfish business that ended in blood poisoning and helped redirect their lives. They land on a powerful contrast between self-made truth and the light of Jesus, challenging listeners to consider whether they’re drawn to the light—or avoiding it.

Ep 1297 | You’re Being Gaslit About Love … and Most People Don’t See It

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase, Al, and Zach kick things off with a nostalgic dive into classic rock, using songs from Foreigner, Sweet, and AC/DC to highlight how culture has long wrestled with defining love. The guys open the door to a deeper look at how modern views on love, sexuality, and identity have drifted from their original intent. Zach contrasts cultural messaging with a life-giving model of love rooted in sacrifice, purpose, and connection. They offer a simple but powerful filter for life: whether our choices lead to fullness and life or isolation and destruction. In this episode: Genesis 1, verse 28; Mark 12; Ezekiel 23, verse 20; Proverbs 7; 1 John 4, verses 7–8; Romans 6; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 6; Ephesians 5; Philippians 2 “Unashamed” Episode 1297 is sponsored by: https://stopboxusa.com/unashamed — Get firearm security redesigned and save 10% when you use code UNASHAMED at checkout! https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get up to 20% off when you use our link and code UNASHAMED! https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

Ep 1296 | The Robertsons Master the Secret to Being Completely Unoffendable

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase, Al, and Zach wrestle with what it means to live unoffendable in a culture fueled by outrage, echoing Phil’s reminder that a life rooted in Christ can’t be canceled by the world. Al lightens things up with a quirky breakdown of the Robertson family archetypes. They unpack Jesus’ words in Mark 12 about being “close to the kingdom,” challenging the difference between simply believing the right things about God and fully surrendering to him.  In this episode: Mark 12, verses 28–34; Colossians 2, verse 14; 1 John 4, verses 7–8; Daniel 7, verses 13–14; Matthew 26, verses 62–64; Galatians 2, verse 20; Ephesians 5, verses 1–2; Genesis 22, verse 2 “Unashamed” Episode 1296 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Ep 1295 | Willie Robertson Sparks Envy With a Fancy Gadget & ‘The Algorithm Is My Shepherd’

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase, Zach, and Al challenge the modern idea of love and romance, pointing out how shallow, consumptive, and ultimately unsatisfying it’s become. Zach confesses his covetous heart with a funny story about Willie’s fancy new gadget that turns into a bigger realization about how easily our desires are shaped by algorithms and constant scrolling. Jase contrasts that with Phil’s example of a life lived free from the noise and untouched by the pressures of modern culture. It all leads to a bigger question: if everything around us is shaping what we want and believe, who—or what—is really leading us? In this episode: Genesis 2, verse 24; Matthew 19, verse 5; 1 Peter 5, verses 1–3; Galatians 5, verses 19–21; 1 John 3, verse 19; 1 John 4, verses 7–10; Deuteronomy 1, verses 32–39; Isaiah 7, verses 14–16 “Unashamed” Episode 1295 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://fastgrowingtrees.com — Get 20% your first purchase when using the code UNASHAMED at checkout. https://timtebow.com/tree-unashamed/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!

Ep 1294 | The Robertsons Respond to ‘Heretic’ Accusations & Why Faith Debates Are Essential These Days

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
John Luke and Zach respond to sharp criticism, pushing back on a mindset that shuts down honest questions instead of engaging them. Al walks through the historical events that set the stage for Christianity’s explosion onto the world scene, including Nero’s brutal persecution of Jesus’ followers. Meanwhile, Christian digs into the cultural significance of the gymnasium and how it revealed the tension between Greek and Jewish ways of life.

Ep 1293 | The Litmus Test for Identifying False Prophets Among Us & Leading Through Sacrifice

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase spots a bug crawling in a stranger’s hair and steps in to remove it himself, triggering a mix of relief, shock, and secondhand embarrassment. Al and Zach join Jase’s attempt to detect a subtle message from a Pink Floyd hit about who—or what—is really influencing us. The guys lay out a clear, practical litmus test for recognizing false prophets, especially when faith starts to look more like a business than truth. They confront the real damage that can be done when spiritual voices miss the moment people need them most, and how to hold onto what’s real when everything else feels twisted. In this episode: 1 John 4, verses 1–6; 1 John 2, verses 15–17; 1 John 3, verse 13; John 10, verses 10–18; Ezekiel 34; Galatians 5; Jude 1, verse 12; Isaiah 56; Mark 8, verses 33–36; 1 Peter 5, verses 1–4 “Unashamed” Episode 1293 is sponsored by: ⁠https://myphdweightloss.com⁠ — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Ep 1292 | Jase Slams ‘Doom Scrolling’ & What Men Are Really Looking For

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Phil’s bold line resurfaces as the guys reflect on his lasting impact and what it means to carry his legacy into a new era without him. As the Robertson family grows and roles begin to shift, they wrestle with what it looks like for men to lead well and for older generations to train the next. Jase pushes back on a phone-obsessed culture that avoids hardship, arguing that real growth still comes the hard way. The guys investigate testing truth by its fruit, why real faith can’t be faked, and how following Jesus always leaves its mark. In this episode: 1 John 2, verses 12–14; 1 John 4, verses 1–6; Romans 8, verse 25; Revelation 1, verses 12–16; Galatians 2, verses 11–21; Galatians 5, verses 16–26; Galatians 6, verse 17 “Unashamed” Episode 1292 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

Ep 1291 | Jase Robertson Issues a Wake-Up Call to Men Who Won’t Lead Their Families

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Phil Robertson had a surprising way of settling arguments with his boys when they got into trouble, and the guys dig into a bigger conversation about why so many men today struggle to lead their families. Turning to Genesis, the guys examine the roles given to men and women—roles humanity has wrestled with since the beginning and that modern culture only seems to complicate further. Zach helps explain how believers can test the spirits and recognize truth through Scripture and the fruit of the Spirit. In this episode: 1 Thessalonians 5, verse 4; 1 John 3, verse 13; Revelation 3; Genesis 2, verses 15–17; 1 John 3, verse 18; Colossians 1; Matthew 18; 1 John 3, verses 19–21; 1 John 4, verses 1–6; 1 John 5, verse 9; Galatians 5, verses 19–24 “Unashamed” Episode 1291 is sponsored by: https://fastgrowingtrees.com — Get 20% your first purchase when using the code UNASHAMED at checkout. https://timtebow.com/tree-unashamed/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Ep 1290 | Korie Robertson Gets Real About Willie’s Love & Their New Tribute to Phil on 'Duck Dynasty'

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Korie reflects on the joy of a growing Robertson family and what this new season of life with Willie looks like as grandkids, changing roles, and everyday sacrifices reshape their perspective on love. Jase recounts his embarrassing loss in a showdown with a bear on Willie’s putting green and the real story behind the infamous HOA chicken dispute that made its way into a “Duck Dynasty” episode. Korie shares about the emotional tribute to Phil in “Duck Dynasty: The Revival” and the powerful legacy he left behind. The guys, Korie, and Jill wrestle with what true greatness really means and why Jesus flipped the world’s definition of it upside down through love, sacrifice, and service. In this episode: 1 John 3, verse 16; 1 John 3, verses 19–20; 1 John 4, verse 4; 1 John 5, verse 9; Matthew 16, verses 13–23; Matthew 18, verses 1–4; John 3, verse 16 “Unashamed” Episode 1290 is sponsored by: Text UNASHAMED to 64000 and get a FREE pocket pivot & 10-pattern sprayer with the purchase of ANY size Copper Head hose! https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!

Ep 1289 | John Luke Robertson Celebrates His New Twin Daughters!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
John Luke celebrates the arrival of his twin daughters, instantly becoming a father of five and giving the guys plenty to talk about when it comes to the miracle and chaos of childbirth. John Luke, Christian, Zach, and Al swap stories about witnessing labor for the first time and reflect on how the arrival of new life can feel both overwhelming and deeply spiritual. That leads into a bigger discussion about why Christianity makes such a bold claim: that the Creator of the universe chose to enter the world the same way every human does, through birth. The guys connect that moment to how the humble birth of Jesus reshaped human history and still anchors the story we’re all living in today. In this episode: John 1, verses 1–4; John 1, verse 14; Genesis 1, verse 1; Genesis 3, verse 15; Acts 17, verses 22–31 Today’s conversation is about Lessons 1 & 2 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you!

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Uncle Si gets a surprise emotional reunion with Miss Kay after not seeing each other in a long time, and it’s as precious as you’d expect. Zach sends his better half, Jill, as his stand-in, and she gives the lowdown on Zach’s delicate temperament, touring music with her kids, and the challenges of parenting teens. Jase and Si look back on the tough spot they were in while Phil and Al were running hard during their prodigal years. The guys and Jill reflect on how the Robertson family has seen firsthand that God is greater than our sins and shame.

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Phil kicks things off with a question: When was the last time you heard the word sin in our courts, schools, governments, or Hollywood?

Ep 1283 | The Robertsons Expose the Dark Side of Success That Few People Talk About

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Jase, Al, and Zach reflect on how their unique experiences around success have given them a front-row seat to the dark side of it—the jealousy and rivalry that often go unspoken but have been damaging families since the beginning of time. Using the story of Cain and Abel, the guys explore how envy can quietly grow into bitterness, division, and even hatred. The conversation highlights the powerful contrast between Abel’s blood demanding justice and the blood of Jesus offering mercy.

Ep 1282 | Jase Faces His Most Public Emergency Ever & Love Your Neighbors Before It’s Too Late

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Jase feels nature’s emergency call at the worst possible moment  in full view of small-town traffic! Revisiting the moment Moses pleaded for mercy and God relented, Zach, Al, and Jase wrestle with what it means for us today— whether our prayers can truly move the heart of God or if His will was always unfolding as planned. The guys explore the “lawlessness” of sin and why loving your neighbor could be the difference between mercy and destruction.

Ep 1281 | Jase Sounds the Alarm on the Blood Moon & End-Times Hysteria

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0000
A blood moon sparks fresh waves of end-times predictions, apocalyptic charts, and doomsday rhetoric — but is that really the point? Jase, Al, and Zach push back on the obsession with “when” and “where,” arguing that Scripture shifts the focus to who you’re with and whether you’re ready. From 1 Thessalonians to Jesus healing on the Sabbath, the conversation reframes heaven not as escape, but as meaningful work in a renewed creation.  In this episode: 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 13–18; 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 1–4; 1 John 3, verses 16–19; John 5, verses 1–17; Matthew 11, verse 28; Romans 8, verse 19; Genesis 1, verse 28 “Unashamed” Episode 1281 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://trustandwill.com/unashamed — Get 20% off and protect your legacy today!  https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.
