Special Guest: Al Robertson Reflects on Faith and Media Ministry
In a wide-ranging conversation, Al Robertson shared insights from his journey from full-time ministry to media influence. As part of the Duck Dynasty family but initially remaining in pastoral ministry while his family rose to fame, Al described how God continued opening new doors.
Robertson explained how the family's podcast "Unashamed" emerged organically: "We were in full-time ministry, and Duck Dynasty comes along for the rest of the family but not really for Lisa and I. From that point forward, it just feels like we've been pinballing wherever God takes us."
The Power of New Media Platforms
A key insight emerged regarding Phil Robertson's perspective on technology: "Boys, we got to get on this internet. I don't know anything about it, I've heard about it, I'm not sure how to turn it on, but I know it's out there. If the Apostle Paul had had a tool like that, he would have been on it in a heartbeat."
Marriage Ministry and Testimony
Al and his wife Lisa continue their marriage ministry alongside their media work, sharing their testimony of God's redemptive power. "About two-thirds of what we do is in the Life sphere because there's so much opportunity and need out there," Robertson explained. "The other third is probably marriage because that's a big part of our story."
