Unashamed with the Robertson Family

A 3,000-year-old story hits surprisingly close to home as Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke wrap up their journey through Homer's Odyssey. Al gets personal about his and Lisa's marriage struggles, infidelity, and the hard road to restoration, while the guys consider what the ancient epic reveals about the importance of marriage, fatherhood, and the foundations of civilization. They also revisit the Robertsons' notoriously competitive family game nights, debate the difference between justice and revenge, and Zach connects the Odyssey's homecoming to the Gospel and explains how an ancient story ultimately points toward Jesus.

In this episode: Romans 1:20; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Matthew 25:31–46; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 15:19; Luke 16:19–31; John 10:10; Acts 17:24–31

Today’s conversation is about Lessons 11 & 12 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.

Join Odysseus on his fantastic journey home from Troy in Homer’s unrivaled story.

The Jesus who offers forgiveness is also the terrifying judge we’ll face, and that’s a harder picture to hang on the wall. Jase, Al, and Zach challenge the comfortable version of Jesus that leaves out his power, authority, and judgment as they continue through Jude. The guys confront church imposters, the excuses that sustain a double life, and the temptation to treat grace as permission to keep sinning. They also trace the Bible’s warnings about fallen angels and consider a possible connection between an ancient sacrificial ritual and the spiritual forces Jesus defeated.

A dangerous conspiracy theory about a school shooting pushes Zach to confront a man he knows personally, and the response is even more disturbing than the claims themselves. Jase and Al join Zach in examining America's obsession with conspiracy theories, political battles, and other distractions that keep people from confronting problems in their own lives. Meanwhile, Jase's morning descends into chaos involving a fire truck, a terrifying spider, and losing some hair. The guys also dig into the book of Jude, exploring the strange biblical accounts of fallen angels, sexual immorality, and the forbidden boundaries between the human and spiritual realms.

Phil kept walking while his bodyguards handled an unexpected encounter so quickly that almost no one noticed, but Al remembers the moment vividly. The cheese feud heats up again when Al brings back reinforcements from Sargento, while Zach insists name-brand cereal made the Robertsons look rich when they were kids. Al recounts how a room full of singing Marines energized him after an exhausting week. Continuing their study of Jude, Jase, Al, and Zach challenge cruise ship Christianity, online arguments, and the habit of labeling everyone who disagrees as a false teacher.
