Ep 1311 | Let’s Decode End Times Prophecy & What’s Happening in the World Today

Jase, Al, and Zach dive into the growing buzz around end-times prophecy and rising global tension, making the case that what Jesus finished on the cross reshapes how Christians should see it all. The guys explore why so many people still misunderstand the role of the temple and what it means to live under a new covenant. A chaotic mix of travel mishaps, MRIs, and a golf-game breakthrough turns into a surprisingly sharp lesson about changing your approach when something isn’t working. In this episode: 1 Corinthians 7, verses 1–5; Genesis 2; 1 John 2, verse 5; 1 John 4, verses 12 and 17–21; 1 John 5; John 19, verses 28–30; Luke 24; Romans 8; Hebrews 2, verses 10–11; Hebrews 5, verses 7–9; Hebrews 7, verse 11; Hebrews 7, verse 28; Hebrews 8; Matthew 24; Numbers 19, verse 9; Ephesians 2, verses 1–22 “Unashamed” Episode 1311 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! https://bravebooks.com/unashamed — Use code UNASHAMED for 20% off your first order!

In a culture that rewards staying quiet about religious beliefs, Jase, Al, and Zach challenge whether that kind of faith actually works. The guys reflect on Phil’s turning point after his baptism, when he chose to go public with his belief in Jesus—a decision that shaped the rest of the whole family’s lives. Jase digs deeper into what “confidence before God” means and explores the instructions the Bible leaves us about how to stand before the Lord without shame. In this episode: 1 John 4, verse 17; 1 John 2, verse 6; 1 John 3, verse 24; 1 John 5, verse 3; Ephesians 5, verses 1–2; John 7, verses 4, 13, 26; John 11, verse 14; John 16, verses 25, 29; John 18, verse 20; Hebrews 2, verse 11; Hebrews 4, verses 12–16; Romans 8, verses 1, 23, 29, 34, 37–39; Jeremiah 20, verses 8–11 “Unashamed” Episode 1310 is sponsored by: https://unashamedgold.com — Get a free 2026 Gold & Silver Guide and a no obligation consultation! https://fastgrowingtrees.com — Get 20% your first purchase when using the code UNASHAMED at checkout. https://smartcredit.com/unashamed — Get a 7-day trial for just $1, see how many points you can add to your credit score! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Willie Robertson’s lifelong love of burning things is back on full display, and it all traces back to Phil’s unique outlook on work and life. Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke shift to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and why Jesus entered history at just the right moment to challenge its power. The guys reframe Jesus’ statement about the “gates of hell,” showing how God’s kingdom advances rather than retreats, even in the face of intense persecution. Zach makes a confession that illustrates the envious side of human nature. In this episode: Matthew 16, verses 13–20; Matthew 11, verses 7–15; Hebrews 11, verses 13–16; James 3, verse 16 Today’s conversation is about Lesson 6 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.

Jase celebrates the arrival of his newest grandson and the surprisingly old-school name that immediately sparked interest. Jase relates a powerful story of an Iranian family who didn’t believe in Jesus until a miraculous occurrence led them to faith they couldn’t deny. Al and Zach reflect on how moments like these reveal the real, lived-out power of the Gospel. The guys start a thought-provoking discussion on what the King James Version may have gotten incorrect and why it matters today.

Al, Jase, and Zach circle back to a powerful conversation about the subtle ways the enemy works to destroy our families. A deep dive into the origin of sin turns into a gut check on modern life, especially how constant busyness can quietly pull people away from God without them even realizing it. Zach connects the fear of death and the tendency to hide from judgment as part of a bigger spiritual battle most people underestimate. But Jesus points to a better way: real rest, real life, and a relationship with God that replaces fear with confidence and peace.  In this episode: 1 John 5, verse 19; Hebrews 4, verses 11–13; Revelation 1, verses 12–18; Hebrews 2, verses 14–15; Revelation 12, verses 9–11; Revelation 14, verses 6–13; 1 John 4, verses 13–21; John 6; John 14 “Unashamed” Episode 1307 is sponsored by: https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get up to 20% off when you use our link and code UNASHAMED! 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!

Al, Jase, and Zach wrestle with a tension a lot of Christians feel today: how to live with conviction without completely withdrawing from the world. The guys ponder where to draw the line and whether avoiding everything you disagree with actually misses the point. The discussion shifts into a deeper look at what Jesus meant by life, death, and eternal life, and how many of us may have misunderstood it all along. In this episode: Genesis 2, verse 9; Genesis 3, verses 22–24; John 3, verse 16; John 6, verses 25–65; John 11, verses 25–26; 1 John 1, verses 1–4; 1 John 4, verses 7–17; 1 John 5, verses 11–12; Romans 5, verses 12 and 21; Revelation 1, verses 17–18; Revelation 2, verse 7 “Unashamed” Episode 1306 is sponsored by: Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.

Jase, Al, and Zach highlight Granny Robertson’s timeless wisdom and the responsibility parents carry to model discipline, truth, and real love in their homes. The guys spark a conversation about what Jesus may have actually looked like, and challenge common misconceptions about heaven, death, and what it means to be alive in Christ right now. Jase looks deeper into how modern culture has watered down the meaning of “miracles,” contrasting everyday blessings with the truly supernatural events seen in Scripture.  In this episode: Romans 8, verses 19, 23, 25; Philippians 3, verse 20; Hebrews 9, verses 27–28; 1 John 3, verse 2; John 11, verses 3–44; 1 John 4, verses 10–21; 1 Corinthians 13, verses 1–13 “Unashamed” Episode 1305 is sponsored by: https://www.quo.com/unashamed — Try QUO for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months! https://www.covesmart.com/unashamed/ — Use code UNASHAMED at checkout for up to 70% off your first order! https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

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.

Jase highlights a growing cultural crisis surrounding children in need of stable homes after being especially moved by the women in Missy’s mentorship group who are stepping up to the challenge. Al challenges the idea of treating Christianity like a checklist and instead points to a relationship with Christ as the foundation for a transformed life. The guys wrestle with the tension between God’s love and anger—exploring when anger is justified and how it ultimately flows from love rather than hate.
