Unashamed with the Robertson Family

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.

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.

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.

Al, Zach, Christian Huff, and John Luke open up with some family confessions about who the true “favorite” Robertson sibling and grandchild really is. That leads to Genesis 25, where Jacob and Esau’s clash over birthright and blessing mirrors the dangers of picking favorites and the pain of sibling rivalry.

Al meets “Almost” NFL coach Andy Reid, and the guys explore how the Spirit exposes sin, reveals righteousness, and declares judgment over the enemy.
