Thu, 05 Nov 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Al looks back on Phil and Miss Kay's unconventional approach to raising their boys and how, despite some questionable entertainment choices, the Robertson boys turned out just fine. Jase recounts a spider bite that sparked a conversation with his godson about Spider-Man and Jesus, leading the guys into a discussion about Halloween and spiritual warfare. The guys examine the dangers of living by selfish desires, God's design for marriage, and why his eternal love is greater than life itself. They also dig into some of the Bible's strangest mysteries, including fallen angels, the Nephilim, and the mysterious dispute between Satan and the archangel Michael over Moses' body.

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 21:30:00 -0000
Jase, Al, and Zach weigh in on the 2026 midterm election results, the Democrats' big wins, and what they believe is driving America's growing political divide. Jase shares why he isn't losing sleep over the outcome, while Zach draws on his own experience in politics to discuss government corruption, shifting cultural values, and the dangers of putting too much faith in political leaders. Al recalls Phil's unique approach to hospitality and his hilarious habit of keeping tabs on everything in his refrigerator.

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Miss Kay gets a reminder that her cooking legacy lives on when Lisa serves a meal that tastes like home. Jase recounts a moment 33 years in the making, and the guys discuss turning Halloween into an opportunity to bring Jesus into their neighborhoods. Zach relives a moment over the weekend about a woman who asked God to show up in her life just before stumbling onto his family’s Halloween gathering, where backyard worship led to deeper conversations about Jesus and a visit to church. Al connects these stories to lifelong faith, and the guys explore why God’s love is better than life itself.

Ep 1454 | ‘Live Your Truth’ Falls Apart When Everyone Actually DOES It

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 21:00:00 -0000
Jase, Al and Zach challenge a culture that treats correction as an attack and personal desires as the final authority on right and wrong. Jase revisits Sodom and Gomorrah to confront the “Don’t Judge Me” defense, while Al reflects on the emptiness of his rebellious years and the boundaries that helped protect his marriage. Zach contrasts chasing endless satisfaction with the freedom of surrendering to Jesus. A disturbing passage in Ezekiel brings the discussion back to misplaced trust, the consequences of rejecting God and his promise of redemption.

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0000
John Luke's living room has literally collapsed, forcing him and his family to move back in with Willie and Korie while repairs get underway. Al stirs up a Robertson family feud with a food competition that leaves everyone choosing sides. The guys kick off their new Hillsdale College course, Western Heritage: From Genesis to John Locke and dig into the surprising differences between biblical and ancient pagan creation stories, Israel's disastrous demand for an earthly king and the biblical principles that helped shape America's founding. They also examine the dangers of concentrated power, the roots of human equality and why history keeps proving that mankind struggles to surrender control to God.

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Jase draws the line when his grandson takes a practical joke too far, prompting Zach to confess his own outrageous pranks and a particularly twisted stunt from his past. Al recounts his Aunt Jan’s prophecy about Jase and Missy's marriage years before it happened, then the guys turn to the disturbing story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Zach argues that the sexual revolution has reached a dark turning point, challenging modern ideas about identity, freedom and the human body.

Jase recounts how a friend's tense encounter with his neighbors turned into a real-life Clint Eastwood moment, leading to a discussion about choosing between life and death. Zach digs into the disturbing history of eugenics, its connections to Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood, and the influence he believes those ideas still have on modern culture. The guys connect the rebellion of fallen angels to Satan's claim over the earth and examine how Jesus' death and resurrection reclaimed God's creation.

Ep 1449 | The Robertsons Fire Back at What James Talarico Calls the Abortion ‘Solution’

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0000
Texas pastor and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s abortion answer sparks a challenge to the idea that planning determines a child’s worth. Jase, Al, and Zach connect the debate to God’s purpose for the family throughout Scripture, with Zach reflecting on his own five children’s unplanned beginnings. Jase also recounts a weekend with Willie, a thrill-seeking invitation from two Navy SEALs, and a 101-year-old veteran who refused to budge. The guys dig deeper into Jude, the Nephilim, and spiritual rebellion before disagreeing about whether fallen angels fully understood their choice. In this episode: Genesis 1:28; Genesis 4:7; Numbers 13:27–33; Matthew 5:5; Matthew 16:15–18; 1 Corinthians 6:3; Philippians 2:10–11; 2 Timothy 3:1–9; Jude 1:5–7, 14–15 Want to watch Unashamed ad-free?

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0000
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.

Ep 1447 | Fallen Angels Crossed God’s Boundaries & This Is the Price They Paid

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0000
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. In this episode: Genesis 5:18–24; Genesis 6:1–3; John 17:5, 11; Acts 17:31; 1 Corinthians 7:4–5, 32–35; 1 Corinthians 10:1–13; Hebrews 11:5; Hebrews 12:22–28; Hebrews 13:2, 11–17; 2 Peter 2:1; Jude 1–6, 9, 14–16; Revelation 1:12–17 For a limited time, get two free tickets to see Jimmy in theaters when you sign up for a year of EKKL with code GOUNASHAMED: https://ekkl.com/  “Unashamed” Episode 1447 is sponsored by: https://cozyearth.com/unashamed - Get up to 20% off when you use our link and code UNASHAMED! https://duckstamp.com/unashamed - Get your digital duck stamp online and keep it right on your phone!
