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

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.

The guys open the door to a deeper look at how modern views on love, sexuality, and identity have drifted from their original intent.

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

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 que...

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

John Luke and Zach respond to sharp criticism, pushing back on a mindset that shuts down honest questions instead of engaging them.

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

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 ...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Ep 1287 | Jase Gets a Longevity Tip from Morgan Freeman & Willie Crashes the Party

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.

Ep 1286 | The Awkward Question About Sex in Heaven Christians Never Ask

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.

Ep 1284 | Flashback: Phil Robertson's Questions About Mental Illness, Sin, and the Human Dilemma

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...

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

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...

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

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 33...

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

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...

Ep 1280 | Three Things the Enemy Steals From Every Man & How God Restores Them

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...

Ep 1279 | Our Culture’s Biggest Lie About Spirituality

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...

Ep 1278 | Lessons We Learned from the COVID Mask Mandate & ‘I Did It My Way’

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...

Ep 1277 | The Robertsons & Godwins Open Up About HIV Scares, Miscarriages & Marital Collapse

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...

Ep 1276 | Uncle Si Claims He’ll Live to 100 & Here’s Why

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...

Ep 1275 | Tim Tebow Opens Up About Where He’s Fallen Short as a Christian

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...

Ep 1274 | Why Would a Good God Allow This Much Suffering?

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...

Ep 1273 | The Only 2 Ways to Show That You Really Love God

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....

Ep 1272 | How to Introduce Jesus to an Atheist in a Post-Truth Culture

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...

Ep 1271 | Willie & Jase Robertson’s Homemade Olympic Games Were Shockingly Dangerous

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...

Ep 1270 | The Only Answer to the Coming AI Apocalypse

As headlines warn that artificial intelligence could upend jobs, industries, and even human identity, Jase, Al, and Zach take a sober look at why the AI age feels so apocalyptic. From stock market panic to viral deepfakes and doomsday predictions, the guys acknowledge that massive cultural shifts are coming. But instead of giving in to a tailspin of fear, they pivot to Revelation and the steady promise that no technological revolution can dethrone Jesus. In a world drowning in information but st...
