Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian conclude their study of David by confronting the truth that forgiveness does not erase consequences. They trace how unaddressed sin and lingering guilt created a leadership vacuum that fractured David’s family, fueled rebellion, and led to civil war and the death of thousands. The guys show how private sin inevitably becomes public and why silence after repentance can be as destructive as the original failure. They close by pointing to Jesus as the true Shepherd-King who restores what sin deforms and leads with justice and mercy. 

In this episode: Psalm 51; 2 Samuel 7, verses 12–16; 2 Samuel 12, verses 1–14; Genesis 4, verses 1–8; 1 Samuel 16, verses 1–13; 2 Samuel 21, verses 1–14; 2 Samuel 24, verses 15–25; Matthew 1, verses 1–17

Encounter the beauty of the Bible.

The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King explores the lives of Israel's first two kings—Saul and David—to discover the Bible’s profound lessons about fatherhood, the nature of sin, and the consequences of sin on both a family and a nation. While David suffers great tragedies due to his own transgressions, he models a path to redemption through repentance.

Join Professor Justin Jackson in a careful reading of First and Second Samuel to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and beauty of this story that is not only fundamental to the Christian and Jewish faiths, but also a literary masterpiece.

Jase and Al celebrate Miss Kay’s latest unexpected milestone that reflects her strength and progress after a difficult season. The guys emphasize that real faith isn’t just something you claim but a relationship that transforms you from the inside out. That leads into a thoughtful discussion about a “reformed” adult film star who publicly professed Christianity before returning to her old life, raising hard questions about belief, trust, and lasting change. Plus, the guys dig into Scripture to explore why people in the Old Testament lived hundreds of years and what that reveals about age, time, and eternity.

In this episode: 1 John 1, verses 1–10; 1 John 2, verses 1–2; Genesis 6, verse 3; Psalm 90, verses 1–17; 1 Corinthians 2, verses 6–16; John 3, verse 36; John 5, verse 24; John 15, verses 9–12; John 16, verses 22–24; Romans 5, verses 1–11; Romans 6, verses 1–11; Philippians 4, verses 10–13; Ephesians 2, verses 8–10

Jase shares some of the most dangerous moments he’s witnessed in the woods, explaining why hunting safety has become non-negotiable after too many close calls that nearly cost lives. He demonstrates how getting pressured into an awkward auction led to a chain of events that convinced him coincidences aren’t real. The guys turn toward the difference between pain that merely hurts and pain that actually changes you, drawing on real experiences of risk, loss, and growth. The guys wrestle with why avoiding pain often leads to worse outcomes and how joy is often forged on the other side of endurance rather than comfort.

Jase, Al, and Zach connect recent headlines about the Minnesota daycare fraud scheme to a deeper biblical truth: life built outside God’s wisdom always collapses into dust. Drawing from Proverbs and real-world scandals, the guys dive into how deception thrives in darkness but never survives the light of truth or God’s design for human flourishing. Jase reveals the shocking move he made when his daughter Mia brought home her first boyfriend—and how it traces back to the time he himself was threatened with death just for walking through a girlfriend’s front door. 

In this episode: Proverbs 8; Proverbs 14, verse 4; Proverbs 21, verses 6, 9, 19, and 30; Proverbs 22, verses 6 and 29; Proverbs 30, verses 15–16, 18–19, and 24–28; Colossians 3, verse 23; James 1, verses 13–15; James 3, verses 13–18; 1 John 3, verse 8; Hebrews 12, verses 26–28; Genesis 1, verse 1; Genesis 2, verses 15–17; Genesis 3, verses 1–7

Jase skips duck season for a few days to go treasure hunting and stumbles into a reminder about how quickly towns—and priorities—can disappear. Uncle Si’s joke about having the “wrong weapon” resurfaces, and Jase finally understands after it took decades to land. The guys pivot into a deeper discussion of wisdom, drawing from Proverbs to argue that wisdom isn’t a list of rules, but the grain God built into creation itself. 

In this episode: Genesis 9; Acts 10; Leviticus 18; John 1, verses 1–14; Hebrews 1, verses 1–4; Proverbs 8, verses 1 and 22–31; Matthew 11, verse 19; First Corinthians 1, verse 24; First Corinthians 1, verse 30; Colossians 1, verse 15; Colossians 1, verse 28; Colossians 2, verse 3; Ephesians 2, verses 8–10; First John 1, verses 1–3; First John 2, verse 6; First John 3, verse 5; First John 3, verse 24
