Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Ep 1275 | Tim Tebow Opens Up About Where He’s Fallen Short as a Christian

Jase repents to Tim Tebow after admitting he sorely misjudged him when they first met, assuming his bold faith was an act. Tim opens up about fatherhood, marriage, and the conviction that sparked Tim’s new book — imagining the crucifixion from the perspective of the tree that held Jesus. The guys wrestle with a piercing question: when we stay silent about Christ, is it because we don’t really believe the gospel or because we don’t love people enough?

Ep 1274 | Why Would a Good God Allow This Much Suffering?

The guys confess their most egregious romance fails from forgotten birthdays, last-minute Valentine’s plans, and bookstore traditions gone stale to wildly different philosophies on “setting the bar” in marriage. Al uses the pain of romance to highlight another truth: there’s pain that hurts, and pain that alters. That distinction becomes personal as Zach opens up about his mother’s long battle with early-onset dementia and the complicated grief that followed her passing. The conversation turns to one of Christianity’s hardest realities: if God is good and all-powerful, why does so much suffering continue in the world?  In this episode: Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11; Psalm 90, verse 12; Hebrews 12, verse 2; Colossians 2, verses 20–23; Romans 1, verses 24–25; Romans 8, verses 20–23; 1 John 2, verses 15–16; 1 John 4, verses 8–10 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 6 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.

Ep 1273 | The Only 2 Ways to Show That You Really Love God

As cultural division deepens and politics dominate everyday life, Jase, Al, and Zach turn to First John to ask a harder question: if we claim to love God, do we love people who disagree with us? John writes, “This is how we know,” pointing back to two simple commands — believe in Jesus and love one another. In a polarized world fueled by outrage, love is the real test of faith. Plus, Jase has an unexpectedly emotional encounter in an airport terminal that leaves tears flowing and a life changed.  In this episode: 1 John 1, verses 6–9; 1 John 2, verses 1–6; 1 John 2, verses 28–29; 1 John 3, verses 1–3; 1 John 3, verses 10–24; 1 John 4, verses 2–13; 1 John 5, verses 2–3; 1 John 5, verse 20; Romans 4, verses 18–21; Matthew 18, verses 1–4 “Unashamed” Episode 1273 is sponsored by: https://www.bruntworkwear.com/unashamed — Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code Unashamed at checkout. https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Ep 1272 | How to Introduce Jesus to an Atheist in a Post-Truth Culture

Young people today are pushing past their skepticism toward religion to reconsider Jesus in a politically charged, post-truth global culture — something Jase witnesses firsthand after a particularly authentic Gospel presentation. Al meets a young man who “loves Jesus but loathes religion,” prompting the guys to consider the very real concerns people have about the ways human sin has affected churches and organized religion. Zach offers insight into what it truly means to be “born again” in an age obsessed with time, trends, and technology. Plus, Jase teaches young husbands how to execute a “pro move” when it comes to giving gifts to their wives.

Ep 1271 | Willie & Jase Robertson’s Homemade Olympic Games Were Shockingly Dangerous

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?  In this episode: 1 John 2, verses 28–29; 1 John 3, verses 1–10; 1 John 4, verse 7; Romans 1, verses 1–5; Romans 5, verses 12–21; Romans 6, verses 1–11; Romans 7, verses 1–6; 1 Peter 1, verses 18–23; Hebrews 11, verse 1 “Unashamed” Episode 1271 is sponsored by: https://meetfabric.com/unashamed — Join the thousands of parents who trust Fabric to help protect their family. https://homechef.com/unashamed — Get 50% off and free shipping on your first box plus free dessert for life! https://rocketmoney.com/unashamed — Join Rocket Money and let them help you reach your financial goals faster. https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.
