Unashamed with the Robertson Family

The Epstein files spark a sobering conversation about corruption, secrecy, and the cost of unchecked power. The guys examine why evil operating in darkness should never shock us, and how history, Scripture, and human nature all point to the same outcome when desire goes unrestrained.

They wrestle with whether darkness in culture is spiritual and how evil advances when left unchallenged. They explore union with Christ, obedience as participation, and how transformed desires replace destructive cravings. They discuss spiritual warfare, principalities, and what it looks like to choose whose side you are on. The conversation points to hope in Christ destroying evil’s work.

Jase, Al, and Zach recount days without power, dangerous cleanup, and how quickly ordinary life can turn into survival mode. Jase shares a sobering close call with a chainsaw that he didn’t even realize happened until later, forcing a hard look at how fragile life really is. The guys shift to Jelly Roll’s bold Jesus moment at the Grammys and why shining publicly for faith is often met with resistance.  In this episode: Genesis 1, verse 3; First John 1, verses 5–7; John 15, verses 1–2; Romans 1, verses 21–25; Second Corinthians 4, verses 16–18; Mark 4, verses 39–41 “Unashamed” Episode 1261 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com⁠ — Get 35% off your first order with code UNASHAMED today! https://smartcredit.com/unashamed — Get a 7-day trial for just $1, see how many points you can add to your credit score! https://bravebooks.com/unashamed ⁠ — Save 20% on your first order with code UNASHAMED ⁠https://cozyearth.com/unashamed  — Take advantage of an exclusive deal only available January 25th- February 8th with code UNASHAMEDBOGO! ⁠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!

Jase, Missy, and Al dive into an unfiltered conversation about cheating, confession, and the judgment that often follows when sin comes into the light. Joined by longtime friend, author, and counselor Kasey Van Norman, they confront the lie beneath adultery and why hiding can feel safer than healing, especially in church culture.

They debate why truth and objective moral values clash with modern culture. They link C.S. Lewis’s storytelling to how faith invites participation rather than mere arguing. They discuss Lewis’s path to conversion, the problem of evil, and why pro-life conviction is not just a personal preference. They consider imagination, suffering, and how stories change hearts.

Family memories of a first season without Phil lead to reflections on legacy, work ethic, and living off the land. A surprising reunion unfolds through a letter, a photo, and the phrase "I never knew." The conversation explores trauma, forgiveness, and how truth told late in life can begin healing.

Jase opens up about late-season duck hunting, exhaustion, and a call he wishes he could take back, owning a miss that came from pushing himself too far. Phil’s old-school wisdom and the legendary ham bribe prove  lessons that still hold up when put to the test. The guys turn to why confidence and self-help can only take you so far when it comes to real change. Plus, Jase discovers Napoleon Dynamite about 25 years too late!

A messy morning sparks a candid talk about late-night choices and personal responsibility. Reflections on a marriage near breaking point turn into a story of seeing past failure and imagining a future. Conversations weave family tension, spiritual standards, and why Jesus became human to restore and defend us.

A hunting story sparks a laugh and a moment of unexpected ego. They dig into First John and Hebrews, arguing eternal life is a present reality. Jacob’s ladder and anointing imagery become a portal between heaven and earth. Jesus is framed as the living bridge and eternal high priest connecting worship, suffering, and the church’s growth.

Men recount a visit to Auschwitz that moved a usually stoic figure to tears and sparked a sober discussion about the reality of evil. They explore C.S. Lewis’s case for objective moral truth and why denying moral facts can lead to history’s darkest moments. The conversation contrasts objective and subjective morality and challenges materialist accounts of why we recognize right and wrong.
