Ep 1302 | Missy Robertson Gets Real About Beauty, Aging & What Really Matters in Marriage

John Luke, Christian, and Zach witness Al’s unexpected confession about a “girly” habit that he swears by. John Luke offers his perspective on why God doesn’t reveal Himself in obvious, overwhelming ways, and why Jesus followed that same pattern during His life on earth. The guys wrestle with modern skepticism, pointing out that many people reject God for not acting the way they expect. They dig into early church history, exposing how ancient false teachings about Jesus’ humanity and divinity are still resurfacing today in new forms.  In this episode: 1 John 4, verses 1–3; 2 John, verse 7; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–8; John 1, verses 1–14; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19; Romans 5, verses 12–21 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 5 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine’s writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.

Missy shares stories from her girls’ trip to New York City, including a tense and political taxi encounter, while Mia’s independent attitude sheds light on generational differences and life outside small-towns.

Al reflects on the loss of Chuck Norris, which sparks a nostalgic look at larger-than-life tough guys and leads straight into reminiscing about Phil’s hardest-hitting, most unbelievable moments, including jaw-dropping procedures without anesthesia. The guys wrestle with the spiritual reality behind good and evil, and what Jesus truly accomplished through his resurrection, emphasizing that love, not punishment, is at the center of the Gospel and that real strength is found in being ready for what comes after this life.

Jase, Al, and Zach take a deeper look at the story of Noah’s flood, revealing a darker and more complex backdrop than the version most of us grew up with. The guys explore the unnatural evil plaguing the world before the flood and why it led to such a dramatic reset. They shift to the resurrection of Jesus and why it’s the moment that makes the entire story of Scripture come into focus. Jase highlights an often-overlooked detail that points to a physical, restored future that changes everything about eternity. In this episode: 1 John 3; Genesis 9; Genesis 6; Genesis 3, verse 15; Genesis 3; Genesis 1, verse 28; Romans 8, verses 9-23; Romans 8, verse 19; Hebrews 2, verses 11-14; Ephesians 3, verse 10; Acts 10; Leviticus 17 (or 18); John 20 “Unashamed” Episode 1300 is sponsored by: https://bravebooks.com/Easter — Get “The Day That Made the Way” completely FREE, plus a NEW children’s book every month when you join BRAVE Book Club! https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Christian sparks a little "beach envy" by checking in from Florida while John Luke is stuck with the oily pond next door, and the guys get a lighthearted update on life with newborn twins. Zach and Al help trace how Jesus entered a world driven by power, fear, and control. With Rome, religious leaders, and the crowd all fighting to protect their influence, the same forces driving their decisions still show up today, pointing to a bigger story where surrender—not control—defines true power. In this episode: Matthew 3, verses 13–17; Matthew 4; Mark 9; John 1, verse 29; Psalm 139; Psalm 51; Hosea 11, verse 1; John 11; Acts 6; John 18; 1 Corinthians 15 Today’s conversation is about Lessons 4 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert.

Jase, Al, and Zach on the growing cultural obsession with self-affirmation, “manifesting,” and the idea that truth comes from within, warning how these popular beliefs subtly replace God with self. They’re joined by author and Christian apologist Melissa Doherty, who shares her journey out of the New Thought movement and explains how feel-good spirituality can distort the Gospel while still sounding Christian. The guys relive their chaotic crawfish business that ended in blood poisoning and helped redirect their lives. They land on a powerful contrast between self-made truth and the light of Jesus, challenging listeners to consider whether they’re drawn to the light—or avoiding it.

Jase, Al, and Zach kick things off with a nostalgic dive into classic rock, using songs from Foreigner, Sweet, and AC/DC to highlight how culture has long wrestled with defining love. The guys open the door to a deeper look at how modern views on love, sexuality, and identity have drifted from their original intent. Zach contrasts cultural messaging with a life-giving model of love rooted in sacrifice, purpose, and connection. They offer a simple but powerful filter for life: whether our choices lead to fullness and life or isolation and destruction.

Jase, Al, and Zach wrestle with what it means to live unoffendable in a culture fueled by outrage, echoing Phil’s reminder that a life rooted in Christ can’t be canceled by the world. Al lightens things up with a quirky breakdown of the Robertson family archetypes. They unpack Jesus’ words in Mark 12 about being “close to the kingdom,” challenging the difference between simply believing the right things about God and fully surrendering to him.  In this episode: Mark 12, verses 28–34; Colossians 2, verse 14; 1 John 4, verses 7–8; Daniel 7, verses 13–14; Matthew 26, verses 62–64; Galatians 2, verse 20; Ephesians 5, verses 1–2; Genesis 22, verse 2 “Unashamed” Episode 1296 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Jase, Zach, and Al challenge the modern idea of love and romance, pointing out how shallow, consumptive, and ultimately unsatisfying it’s become. Zach confesses his covetous heart with a funny story about Willie’s fancy new gadget that turns into a bigger realization about how easily our desires are shaped by algorithms and constant scrolling. Jase contrasts that with Phil’s example of a life lived free from the noise and untouched by the pressures of modern culture. It all leads to a bigger question: if everything around us is shaping what we want and believe, who—or what—is really leading us? In this episode: Genesis 2, verse 24; Matthew 19, verse 5; 1 Peter 5, verses 1–3; Galatians 5, verses 19–21; 1 John 3, verse 19; 1 John 4, verses 7–10; Deuteronomy 1, verses 32–39; Isaiah 7, verses 14–16 “Unashamed” Episode 1295 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://fastgrowingtrees.com — Get 20% your first purchase when using the code UNASHAMED at checkout. https://timtebow.com/tree-unashamed/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!
