    Ep 1439 | Philip Anthony Mitchell's Warning to America: Stand Up Now or Pay the Price Later

    Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell nearly lost everything when his church fell apart, but what happened next transformed his ministry and his message. Al and Zach sit down with the outspoken 2819 Church pastor to hear how he overcame failure, confronted his own pride, and found the courage to stand against a culture of compromise. Mitchell also reflects on the fearless faith of Phil Robertson and delivers a passionate warning about the greatest threat facing American Christianity, the mistakes of the ancient church, and what could happen if believers don't take a stand.

    Ep 1438 | Al Robertson Looks Back on the One Belief That Nearly Destroyed His Marriage

    Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke take aim at the internet’s obsession with rage bait, reaction videos, and critics who build entire platforms by tearing other people down. The guys connect Homer’s Odyssey to modern life by examining the competing pulls of pleasure, comfort, success, and purpose, and why none of them can fully satisfy. Zach gets personal about the point in his marriage when he realized even a good marriage can become an idol, while Al reflects on the breakthrough that came when he and Lisa stopped expecting each other to be what only Christ could be. The conversation ultimately turns to how fantasy, nostalgia, and unrealistic expectations can distort marriage, faith, and our idea of the good life.


    In this episode: Luke 15:11–32; Luke 16:19–31; John 5:39–40; 1 Corinthians 2:9–10; 1 Peter 1:3–7; 2 Peter 1:5–8


    Today’s conversation is about Lesson 7 & 8 of The Odyssey taught by Hillsdale Professor Dr. Benedict Whalen. Take the course with us at no cost to you! 


    More about The Odyssey:


    The Odyssey tells the tale of the cunning and crafty hero of the Trojan War on his journey home. After ten years of war, Odysseus faces another ten years of fantastic temptations, deadly monsters, treacherous seas, and impious men. Meanwhile, Ithaca is threatened by suitors who plague his wife and plunder his wealth. When Odysseus reaches home, he must slay the suitors, test the loyalty of his friends and family, and restore order to his marriage and his kingdom.


    Join Dr. Benedict Whalen as he explores themes of love, marriage, kingship, duty, and piety. Encounter Homer's epic, which displays the full human experience. In a world of uncertainty, Odysseus charts a path towards peace through perseverance, prudence, and justice.

    Ep 1436 | The Cornell 7 Case Forces an Uncomfortable Question About Modern Manhood

    The Cornell 7 case has become a political and media battleground, but Jase, Al, and Zach argue that both sides are missing the deeper struggle underneath it. The guys dig into America’s crisis of manhood, the pornification of culture, and what happens when people are taught to follow every desire without boundaries or responsibility. Zach challenges young men to reject a culture that treats women as objects, while Jase and Al contrast man’s shifting standards with biblical ideas of virtue, wisdom, and justice. They ultimately point to redemption through Jesus as the only real way to break the cycle and start over.

    Ep 1435 | The Robertsons Invaded My Neighborhood & Nothing Was Ever the Same

    Jase looks back on the awkward reality of working for his younger brother Willie and the one condition he had before taking orders from him. Korie's mom, Chrys Howard, and author Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, hosts of the EKKL podcast “Rocking It,” join Jase and Al for stories about Robertson family chaos, neighborhood growing pains, and the people who stick with you through every season of life. Al revisits a powerful moment when church elders prayed over and anointed a man who was expected to have only an hour left to live, and his condition suddenly turned around. Jase and Al dig into James 5 to consider patience, healing, suffering, spiritual maturity, and what it really means to trust God when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for.

    Ep 1434 | Uncle Si Turns Heartbreak Into Laughter for Terminally Ill Kids

    Uncle Si is closing in on an unexpected Robertson family milestone after a lifetime of medical scares, and he has plenty to say about why he still avoids doctors whenever possible. Jase, Al, Si, and Lisa examine what James teaches about prayer, forgiveness, helping people through suffering, and trusting that God isn’t finished with you yet. Jase realizes Mia may have inherited more of his personality than anyone expected. The guys and Lisa explore Elijah’s dramatic highs and lows, including why one negative voice can overpower a mountain of victories and leave even the strongest person exhausted.

    Ep 1433 | The Robertson Family Grows Again With a Very Special New Arrival

    The Robertson family welcomes another new baby as John Luke and Christian celebrate becoming uncles again, and the guys remark on the growing number of grandkids filling up the family compound. From there, Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke turn to Homer’s “The Odyssey” and the surprisingly modern warnings buried inside its stories of pride, pleasure, distrust, and temptation. They connect Odysseus’ downfall to today’s struggles with pornography, drug addiction, doomscrolling, and the constant pull of quick dopamine. The guys also look at how Scripture gives a fuller answer to the moral truths Homer recognized, and why faith, community, and Christ matter when it comes to breaking those cycles.


    In this episode: Romans 1; Romans 2:14-16; Genesis 6; Genesis 11; Ephesians 4:17-32; Titus 1:10-13; Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9

    Ep 1432 | A Witch Doctor Tried to Stop Our Family From Teaching the Bible Using Evil Spirits

    The Wild Brothers grew up deep in the jungles of Indonesia, where their family lived among the Wano people before teaching them the Bible. They recount a childhood surrounded by fear of evil spirits, witch doctors, malaria, and intense spiritual opposition, until the incredible moment they watched the Gospel take hold. Al, Jase, Morgan, and Kian trace the unlikely connection between their family and ‘Duck Dynasty,’ which helped inspire their own adventure-based ministry. Today, the Wild Brothers are encouraging families to get outside, grow in their faith, and see following Jesus as the ultimate adventure.

    Ep 1431 | Uncle Si’s Oxygen Machine Causes an Airline Crisis & Jase Pays the Price for Helping

    Uncle Si’s medical equipment causes chaos on his trip home, but he quickly turns the tension into an impromptu airplane concert, rhinestones and all. Jase discovers that his old ‘Duck Dynasty’ HOA problems never really ended when a neighborhood trash issue leaves him trimming trees from the hood of his truck and paying the price for trying to help. Al connects the discussion of anointing to a powerful moment in Lisa’s faith journey, and the guys close out James 5 by digging into prayer, confession, healing, and why Elijah’s extraordinary story still begins with the reminder that he was a human being just like us.

    Ep 1430 | Can You Pray the Sinner’s Prayer and Still Not Be Saved?

    Former country singer Granger Smith opens up about hitting rock bottom alone on a tour bus after the devastating loss of his 3-year-old son, River, and the moment he finally cried out to God. Granger tells Jase, Al, and Zach why Scripture eventually convinced him to walk away from a successful music career. Jase and Granger agree on why emotion-driven altar calls aren't the same as becoming a disciple of Jesus. Granger also gives a stunning answer when asked whether he would go back and prevent his son’s death if he could, leading to an honest conversation about grief, eternity, and trusting God through unimaginable loss. Granger also discusses his new book, Poison in the Well: 11 Toxic Beliefs That Kept Me From the Living Water of Jesus, which grew out of the beliefs and assumptions he had to confront in his own life.
