Unashamed with the Robertson Family
Ep 1014 | Lisa & Al Admit Satan Sowed Seeds of Doubt During Her Cancer Journey
Fri, 27 Dec 2024
Jase is impressed with Al’s sermon called “Earth, Wind, and Fire” that draws lessons from the life of the prophet Elijah. Al refers to some of Phil’s contemporary prophet-like traits with admiration and shares several of his own tests of faith over the past year. Lisa confesses that Satan worked very hard to plant seeds of doubt in her heart throughout her cancer journey, but ultimately her love for Jesus and her family helped her overcome those doubts. — Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: What insights does Al share from his sermon?
I am unashamed.
What about you?
So, Zach, been doing any preaching here lately? Oh, yeah. You up and running? You already have a captive audience now with everything going on here.
Yeah, I preached yesterday. We're in a little something called Mark 11. Yeah. So we got into a little bit on what we call the temple.
A little something called Mark 11, Jace.
Jace, why'd you laugh, Jace?
What? He's made that sound like, oh, yeah, everybody knows about Mark 11.

Chapter 2: How did Lisa confront doubt during her cancer journey?
Well, you had this Elmer Fudd look to you today. How is that? Well, I don't know. It's the khaki shirt. Like what a yuppie would wear to go rabbit hunting. But then you don't want to get shot, so you grab an orange hat on the way out. You know, Zach likes those wascally wabbits. Yeah.
So then when you said, we got a little something called, and I was waiting because I thought, ooh, this will be a famous quote in Robertson lore. But then it was like Mark 11.
Mark 11.
So then I realized, he then realized that off the top of our heads, I'm not sure exactly what Mark 11. So if that was your point, it's very clever because now people are racing to look up Mark 11.
I'm looking. So was it clear the temple or the withered fig tree?
Both. I did both of the fig tree and then the cleansing of the temple. So, yeah, I went about 42 minutes, and I could have gone 62. Yeah. But I looked at my notes. I was like, I got three pages of notes left, so I just took like the last two and a half and just said, we'll just skip over that.
Well, the problem is when you're doing it the way you guys are doing it, it's what we do. If you were just preaching every week, you'd just say, all right, next week we're going to pick this up. But if you all are rotating, right?
No, but you know Zach's wife. The problem with going 42 to 62 is not because of the people. It's because of the woman you're married to. When you get in that car, she's going to say, Zach, now I love you, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but if you want to go from 42 to 62, why not just write a book about it?
It's funny you say that, Jace, because before I got up to speak, Grant, my brother, actually did the communion yesterday, which was... I call it the first sermon because it was so long. And she comes up to me and says, hey, you're going to have to shorten your sermon. She told me that going into it. So I had already been, I don't want to say warned. She just encouraged me.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Mark 11?
She completes you, and she was right. My wife does it all the time. She's like, look, how long are you going to go? And she'll make me say five minutes less than what I should.
Yeah.
And so then she's like, that gives you five minutes of wiggle room.
But you've done it, Zach, enough like we have as well that you know when you lose an audience, right? I mean, so you didn't lose it. You still had them.
Brad?
I'm not sure he does that. He's asking the guy that works for him. No, that doesn't count. What is he going to say? No?
Let me ask my yes man if I went to him. When's the last time you paid him? Because that will become a factor in his answer.
That's true. Brad did say that I had the audience still. So I felt it. I could tell I had them. But I have gone before where I've lost the audience.
Yeah. I've lost a few. I mean, you can't, there's no way in preaching. If you do it enough, you're going to lay a few eggs.
