Unashamed with the Robertson Family

As the world feels increasingly dark and chaotic, Jase, Al, and Zach argue that what we’re experiencing isn’t just cultural or political—it’s spiritual. They discuss why evil thrives when it goes unchallenged, how desire can quietly turn destructive, and why fighting the wrong enemy leaves people trapped in confusion. The conversation ultimately points to hope, reminding listeners that Christ came to destroy the work of evil and that true joy is made complete through union with Him and participation in His life.

The Robertsons dig into why truth doesn’t always play well in modern culture, and why Jesus wouldn’t be popular in a TikTok world built on virality and approval. The guys talk through everything from their long-running distrust of dentists to why being pro-life isn’t a matter of personal preference or opinion. They reflect on how stories like The Chronicles of Narnia communicate hard truths better than arguments ever could and why true change is often so uncomfortable.

Today’s conversation is about Lesson 2 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/.

More about C.S. Lewis on Christianity:

Encounter the faith & wisdom of C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis’s writings bring the great questions of the Christian faith to life. Through his imaginative and invigorating style, Lewis answers these questions in ways that are compelling to those outside Christianity and energizing to those within the Christian faith.

In this free, seven-lecture course, Professor Michael Ward—a leading scholar of C.S. 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.

This course examines these fundamental topics not only through his classic works—including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man—but also through Lewis’s personal experiences with doubt, conversion, suffering, grief, and joy. Through this course, students will discover Lewis’s core lessons regarding the truth and goodness of the Christian faith and how to apply those lessons to one’s life. 

Join us today in discovering C.S. Lewis’s enduring lessons about the meaning and practice of Christianity. Sign up at ⁠http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/

As the Robertsons begin wrapping up their first full duck season without Phil, they reflect on legacy, hard work, and the faith that shaped their family. Phyllis joins the conversation to look back on Phil’s later years, the weight of the words “I never knew,” and the healing that followed Phil’s honesty instead of silence. The guys and Phyllis discuss trauma, forgiveness, and how truth spoken even late in life can still bring restoration.
