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. Today’s conversation is about Lessons 3 of Ancient Christ...

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 ...

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...

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 S...

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...

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...

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 fir...

Zach tears up watching his kids stop a country crowd cold with a 200-year-old hymn, turning a Larry Fleet concert into an unexpected worship service. The guys wrestle with the healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda, confronting the uncomfortable truth that some people would rather stay sick than be healed. Jase shares a longevity tip that traveled from Clint Eastwood to Morgan Freeman to his ears, and Willie Robertson crashes the recording mid-Bible study with his entourage in tow. In this e...

Jase, Missy, Al, and Lisa offer solutions to what they believe young men and women are missing in their lives today. Along the way they reveal their own shame, shortcomings and how mentorship and grace from God have changed them from the inside out. Jase jokes that he has spent his life researching whether marital relations will be part of heaven, but agrees that whatever God’s plan for eternity is, it’ll be better than we can imagine. In this episode: Proverbs 31, verses 10–31; Acts 17; Matthew...

Missy discovers a rare family photo of Phil Robertson wearing a suit that was taken during one of the most difficult seasons in Robertson family history. Al and Lisa open up about the betrayal that nearly destroyed their marriage and the painful road to repentance, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust. The guys, Missy, and Lisa reflect on how God can restore even the most broken relationships when people surrender and choose faith over bitterness. They also share lessons on mentorship, marriage, an...

Phil kicks things off with a question: When was the last time you heard the word sin in our courts, schools, governments, or Hollywood? This leads Phil, Jase, and Zach into a candid discussion of counseling, psychiatry, and the relationship between spirituality, sin, behavioral problems, brokenness, emptiness, mental illness, and the human dilemma. This episode originally aired on October 30, 2020. In this episode: Romans 2, verse 15; John 15, verse 18; John 15, verse 26; John 16, verses 7-11; H...

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. In this epis...

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. In this episode: Exodus 32, verses 7–14; Exodus 3...

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 Thessalonian...

What if Satan’s strategy against mankind hasn’t changed since the time of Job? The guys examine how the evil one attacks three core areas of a man’s life and how Jesus restores what’s been taken. A ten-second exchange in a meet-and-greet line sparks Jase’s deeper dive into the “new heaven and new earth.” Al and Zach find that the only way to please God isn’t through striving, but through trusting what Jesus has finished. In this episode: Ephesians 5, verse 33; Job 31; Proverbs 31; 1 John 3, vers...

The culture’s biggest lie about good and evil is that they’re equal and opposite forces locked in an endless cosmic tug-of-war. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore why that idea quietly reshapes how we see God, Satan, heaven, and hell — and why C.S. Lewis insists it falls apart under real Christian theology. From Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness to Lewis’ picture of hell as a shrinking, hollow existence, the guys explore how evil is a distortion of what God created as good. In this epi...

A Frank Sinatra hit song, a COVID-era mask callback, and a brutally smelly airplane converge into one uncomfortable truth: spiritual independence sounds great…until it doesn’t. The guys center on John 15 and the difference between staying connected to the source of life and slowly drifting into spiritual decay. Along the way, they land on two words they argue may be the most important in all of Scripture and figure out how to become best friends with Jesus. In this episode: Matthew 28, verses 18...

Jase and Al welcome John and Paula Godwin to reflect on the kind of community that shows up in the hardest moments from medical crises to marital collapse and everything in between. They revisit seasons of fear, loss, and uncertainty, including Paula’s HIV needle-stick scare and the painful surgeries that tested Jase and Missy’s resolve. The conversation builds to the powerful “even if” faith of Daniel 3 — trusting God not only when He delivers what we ask for, but even if He doesn’t. In this ep...

Uncle Si insists his kids are proof there’s a God and that grace can transform even the most unlikely dad. He, Jase, and Al agree the greatest treasure isn’t gold at all, and while Si claims he’s discovered the fountain of youth, he’s still planning his own eulogy just in case. The guys dive into a deeper discussion about “special knowledge” in 1 John, what truly changes a man, and the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him. In this episode: Proverbs 21, verses 30–31; He...

Jase repents to Tim Tebow after admitting he sorely misjudged him when they first met, assuming his bold faith was an act. Tim opens up about fatherhood, marriage, and the conviction that sparked Tim’s new book — imagining the crucifixion from the perspective of the tree that held Jesus. The guys wrestle with a piercing question: when we stay silent about Christ, is it because we don’t really believe the gospel or because we don’t love people enough? Check out Tim’s poignant new book here: https...

The guys confess their most egregious romance fails from forgotten birthdays, last-minute Valentine’s plans, and bookstore traditions gone stale to wildly different philosophies on “setting the bar” in marriage. Al uses the pain of romance to highlight another truth: there’s pain that hurts, and pain that alters. That distinction becomes personal as Zach opens up about his mother’s long battle with early-onset dementia and the complicated grief that followed her passing. The conversation turns t...

As cultural division deepens and politics dominate everyday life, Jase, Al, and Zach turn to First John to ask a harder question: if we claim to love God, do we love people who disagree with us? John writes, “This is how we know,” pointing back to two simple commands — believe in Jesus and love one another. In a polarized world fueled by outrage, love is the real test of faith. Plus, Jase has an unexpectedly emotional encounter in an airport terminal that leaves tears flowing and a life changed....

Young people today are pushing past their skepticism toward religion to reconsider Jesus in a politically charged, post-truth global culture — something Jase witnesses firsthand after a particularly authentic Gospel presentation. Al meets a young man who “loves Jesus but loathes religion,” prompting the guys to consider the very real concerns people have about the ways human sin has affected churches and organized religion. Zach offers insight into what it truly means to be “born again” in an ag...

With partisan politics taking center stage instead of athletic excellence at the Olympic Games, Jase, Al, and Zach wonder what happened to simple national pride. What was once a rare moment of unity now feels like another front in the culture wars. That frustration leads to a wild look back at the Robertsons’ own dangerously reckless “Backyard Winter Olympics,” where frozen ponds, car hoods, and homemade skis somehow didn’t end in tragedy. Beneath the cultural chaos runs a deeper question: if gr...
