- 1249Ep 1248 | Miss Kay Defies the Odds With a New MilestoneJase 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.

- 1250Ep 1249 | The Robertsons Confront the Myth That Forgiveness Erases ConsequencesAl, 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 Today's conversation is about Lessons 7 & 8 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

- 1251Ep 1250 | Bill Maher Might Be Jase’s Favorite Left-Winger & Fox News Gets the Robertsons Mixed UpAl shares how he ended up on Fox News defending his podcast comments about liberal policies in major cities, while the guys laugh about the media repeatedly crediting the wrong Robertson for the same quotes. Bill Maher’s growing distance from woke orthodoxy sparks curiosity and even has Jase joking about inviting him into the studio for a real conversation about Jesus. The guys turn to Jesus’ prayer in John 17, exploring eternal life as active participation with God that reshapes how believers live, suffer, and face death.

- 1252Ep 1251 | Phil’s Gift of Prophecy Lives on & Jase Proves You Can’t Follow Jesus QuietlyJase, Al, and Zach reflect on Phil’s uncanny ability to see through people, often calling out the truth before anyone admitted it, and how that instinct shaped the way he raised his sons. Jase shares stories from his teenage years about standing alone, losing friends, and learning to “trash talk for Jesus” on the football field. The guys dig into why confession isn’t weakness, why the cover-up of sin is always worse, and how walking honestly with Jesus changes everything—whether people like it or not.

- 1253Ep 1252 | The Robertsons Rebuke Protesters Who Stormed a Minnesota ChurchJase, Al, and Zach condemn a Minnesota church protest as “pure chaos” while expressing sympathy for the pastor forced to restore order as kids cried and the service unraveled. The conversation widens to how protest culture, immigration clashes, and nonstop crisis headlines are driving national anxiety and division. As “storm of the century” headlines fuel panic across the South, the guys cut through the hype with chainsaws and confidence. Zach points out how Jesus isn’t confined to one side of the political aisle, his love is open to socialists, MAGA, and everyone in between.

- 1254Ep 1253 | The Robertsons Reject “Us vs. Them” in the Wake of Minnesota ProtestsPresident Trump being given the Nobel Peace Prize by the Venezuelan opposition leader creates the perfect moment to contrast the world’s version of peace with God’s. The guys argue that in moments of chaos—like what’s unfolding in Minnesota—Christians are called to be the eye of the storm, not trapped in an Us vs. Them mindset. They connect true peace to faithfulness in parenting, marriage, and everyday relationships, reminding listeners that humility, responsibility, and forgiveness, not cultural wins, are what actually bring lasting peace.

- 1255Ep 1254 | Phil Robertson Wept at Auschwitz Concentration Camp & Why Moral Truth MattersAl, Zach, John Luke, and Christian reflect on a moment when Phil, a man who rarely got emotional, was moved to tears after witnessing the reality of unimaginable evil. The guys launch into a sobering conversation about why atrocities like the Holocaust can never be reduced to opinion or explained away, and why denying such evil ultimately erodes the very idea of right and wrong. Drawing on the works of C.S. Lewis, they wrestle with where moral truth comes from, why it exists beyond personal preference, and how abandoning it opens the door to history’s darkest chapters. Today’s conversation is about Lesson 1 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you!

Lewis—will explore Lewis’s: argument for objective moral value in response to the rise of modern subjectivism; bittersweet path to conversion and the role of enjoyment in the Christian life; advice regarding the proper way to pray and read the Bible; teachings concerning the purpose of pain and how to confront suffering and loss; insights about the nature of heaven and hell.

- 1265Ep 1264 | Why Intimacy with God & Their Wives Is So Hard for Christian MenAl, Zach, John Luke, and Christian wrestle with why intimacy feels so difficult for American men—both with God and in marriage. Following along with C.S. Lewis’s Surprised by Joy, they explore how knowledge alone can’t produce real closeness, and why desire and longing shape the way men actually live. The guys challenge the idea that faith is about mastering concepts instead of participating in a relationship. They point toward a hopeful vision of intimacy that isn’t forced or performed, but rediscovered through joy, presence, and learning to live inside God’s story rather than observing it from a distance. Today’s conversation is about Lesson 3-4 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you!

- 1270Ep 1269 | The Robertsons Turn a Middle-School Dance Into a Prayer BreakthroughZach, Al, Christian, and John Luke dig into why unanswered prayers can feel like personal rejection from God—and how faith survives that silence.

- 1271Ep 1270 | The Only Answer to the Coming AI ApocalypseAs 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 starving for meaning, communion, love, and knowing Christ are the only answers that outlast every empire, every innovation, and every so-called “end of the world.” In this episode: Revelation 1, verse 1; Revelation 1, verses 4–8; Revelation 3, verse 3; Revelation 22, verses 7, 17, 20; Daniel 7; Ephesians 3, verse 10; 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 16–17; 2 Thessalonians 1; John 14 Chapters: 00:00 SAS Apocalypse & AI Panic 05:10 The Market Reacts to Artificial Intelligence 12:30 AI Fear vs. Resurrection Hope 19:40 Organic Bible Studies Will Be More Common 26:45 Is Anything Online Even Real Anymore? 33:50 Revelation: “He Is Coming Soon” 44:15 Judgment, Love & the Coming of Jesus 52:00 AI Can’t Replace Communion 59:00 A Dollar General Love Lesson — Learn more about your ad choices.

- 1272Ep 1271 | The Robertsons Are Sick of Olympic Politics: ‘Can We Just Be Proud Americans for Two Weeks?’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 grace is real, why do we have to worry about doing what’s good and right?
