Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke welcome the return of Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College for a funny and fascinating deep dive into Exodus. Christian invites Al to a workout he justifiably declines, and John Luke admits there’s a classic Robertson pastime he just can’t master. Dr. Jackson explains why Exodus may be the most important book in the Bible, how Pharaoh mirrors Satan, and why God consistently uses weakness to reveal his strength. The guys explore Moses’ transformation from stuttering and lacking confidence to a face-to-face relationship with God. In this episode: Exodus 1–20; Exodus 32–34; Genesis 1; Genesis 9; Genesis 12; 2 Corinthians 3, verses 12–18; Daniel 7, verse 13; John 1, verses 1–5 Today's conversation is an overview of The Exodus Story taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

The guys reflect on how much their understanding of the kingdom has grown since the early days of the podcast and use John 19 to contrast the deadly misuse of law with the life-giving work of the Holy Spirit. Jase points out that the Jewish leaders tried to kill Jesus “by the book,” while never stopping to ask the only question that mattered: what if he really is the Son of God? The guys explore the danger of legalism, the difference between living like a slave under law versus a son filled with the Spirit.

Jase had no idea he’d be facing the “Abominable Snowman” today, but he wastes no time attacking its wintry fashion, which would never pass the smell test in Phil’s duck blind. The guys dive into the difference between the ancient law of Moses and Jesus’ fulfillment of that law on our behalf. Jase uncovers a verse about the one debt Jesus didn’t pay for us, and Zach and Al paint a beautiful picture of theological diversity united in Christ. In this episode: Acts 2, verses 44–47; Acts 20, verse 7; Exodus 20, verses 4–5; Exodus 32, verses 1–6; Romans 8, verse 2; Romans 13, verses 8–14; 1 Corinthians 1, verse 30; 1 Corinthians 2, verses 12–13; 2 Corinthians 1, verses 18–22; Galatians 3, verse 26; Ephesians 5, verse 19; Colossians 2, verses 13–14; Hebrews 3, verse 13; Hebrews 4, verses 7–9; Hebrews 9, verses 1–10 Chapters: 00:00-9:38 Zach becomes the Abominable Snowman 09:39-17:49 Why idolatry is so offensive to God 17:50-28:38 Does Old Testament law still apply to us? 28:39-39:55 Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it 39:56-47:56 Our only debt now is to love each other 47:57-57:58 Nancy Reagan had it all wrong — Learn more about your ad choices.

Jase cracks Al and Zach up remembering the last real fistfight he and Willie ever had, a brother-on-brother brawl that ended with Miss Kay being furious and Jase feeling life-altering shame. The guys pile on more memories of Willie’s biggest pranks, including a deeply disturbing Cheese Whiz attack, and admit the Robertsons may have taken things a little too far in their younger days. The guys show how Jesus, the true bread from heaven, leads the way as a brand-new creation.

Al and Zach lose their composure when John Luke walks onto the set with a surprise introduction to his pet mascot, sparking a favorite memory of Phil comparing himself to the late Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. The guys then examine Moses’ response to the Israelites building a golden idol while he was in God’s presence receiving the Ten Commandments.

Jase gets lovingly roasted by a self-proclaimed “dork” who calls him out for talking too much and he has to admit, it’s true. The listener’s tongue-in-cheek “Unashamed Drinking Game” exposes all the guys’ funniest and worst habits, leading Zach to suspect it might be a Robertson family member secretly trolling them. The guys pivot to a lively discussion about why unity in Christ matters more than denominational lines and how Jesus’ resurrected body defies description yet fills us with hope for our own resurrection. In this episode: John 19; 1 Corinthians 15; 1 John 3; Romans 4; Romans 8; Hebrews 11; Genesis 22.

Jase and Al open the episode with a sheepish “my bad” after a producer fact-checks one of their rock-’n’-roll memories. What started as an innocent mix-up turns into a full-blown investigation involving parade floats, PETA, and a certain ‘80s icon who wasn’t who they thought she was. The guys marvel at how a simple slip becomes “fake news.” The guys connect the crown on Jesus’ brow back to Adam’s curse, and examine how unbridled idolatry leads to the ruination of generations of lives.  In this episode: John 19, verse 5; Genesis 3, verses 17–18; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 42–57; Hosea 13, verse 14; 1 Peter 2, verses 13–25 Chapters: 00:00-5:00 We’re sorry, Pat Benatar! 05:01-9:08 The cost of unbridled sexual sin 9:09-20:04 Jesus was the “second Adam” 20:15-30:56 Idolatry is the ultimate sin 30:57-37:32 Adam is cursed with thorns  37:33-42:42 Faith & good works are inseparable 42:43-50:00 The least-preached verse in the Bible 50:01-56:38 Submission was the key to saving the world — Learn more about your ad choices.

Al kicks things off with a rock-and-roll mystery—was it Pat Benatar or Joan Jett who once snubbed the Robertsons on their tour bus? Jase follows it up with a story of how one bold comment may have permanently ended his shot at golfing with Masters champion Bubba Watson. Zach shares a sweet family milestone that has everyone feeling sentimental and grateful. The guys reflect on the crown of thorns from John 19, exploring how something meant for mockery became the ultimate symbol of mercy, kingship, and redemption.

Jase and Al reminisce about their family’s brief history as teenage “runaways,” when no one bothered to send a search party—and how that hands-off parenting style turned out to be pretty effective. Guests Jeremy and Melissa Souza of Good Simple Living share how they built an off-grid homestead from scratch, raised their kids with purpose and grit, and found real community beyond the internet. The guys, Jeremy, and Melissa laugh about learning self-reliance the hard way, surviving on wit and curiosity long before homesteading was cool. Check out Jeremy and Melissa’s new children’s book Made to Be Ludo as a way to support and give back to children battling cancer—100% of proceeds go to the Childhood Cancer Coalition, and Brave Books is matching donations.
