Unashamed with the Robertson Family

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian step into the origins of America in celebration of the approaching 250th anniversary. The guys explore the courage, faith, and conviction that drove a small group of people to leave everything behind in search of religious freedom. As they walk through the Pilgrims’ journey, the harsh realities of the Mayflower, and the formation of America’s first self-governance, they reflect on overlooked stories of faith, bravery and how the American spirit was forged through both belief and struggle.

Today’s conversation is about Lesson 1 of Colonial America: From Wilderness to Civilization from Hillsdale College. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/.

More about Colonial America:

Professors of history and politics guide us through the perilous journey of the Mayflower and the grueling winters of Cape Cod. They explore the ideas of religious liberty and natural rights, as well as the brutal conflicts, such as the wars on the frontier and the French and Indian War. Through this six-lesson appreciation of the colonial experience, you will learn how the unique American spirit was shaped.

Hot takes are everywhere, and in a culture driven by TikTok clips and instant opinions, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between confident voices and actual truth. Jase, Al, and Zach push back on the growing trend of soundbite theology, where complex biblical ideas are reduced to quick, oversimplified answers that often miss the bigger picture. Using current debates around Israel and broader theological disagreements, the guys highlight how easily people can present personal interpretations as absolute biblical truth.

In this episode: 1 John 5, verse 13; 1 John 5, verse 20; Romans 11, verse 26; John 14, verse 6; Galatians 3, verse 28; Hebrews 12, verses 1–2; Hebrews 12, verses 22–24; Hebrews 3, verse 1; 1 Peter 2, verse 9; Revelation 1, verse 6; Revelation 5, verse 10; Exodus 19, verse 6; Romans 1, verses 16–17

Jase, Al, and Zach reflect on the childhood nostalgia and wonder that space exploration inspires, and Al contrasts humanity’s growing knowledge with its shrinking sense of awe. The guys jump into a discussion about Jesus’ voluntary sacrifice and what it really means to follow God’s commands—not as burdens, but as invitations into life. Jase offers a direct challenge to how most people think about faith: testimony isn’t about your story, your turnaround, or your effort, it’s about Jesus. 

In this episode: John 10, verses 14–18; 1 John 5, verses 6–11; Romans 6, verses 1–11; Romans 8, verses 1–39; Ephesians 5, verse 1; Ephesians 5, verse 21; 2 Timothy 4, verses 7–8; Revelation 5, verses 8–14
