Unashamed with the Robertson Family
Ep 1025 | Phil's Most Off-the-Wall Advice & Jase Sparks a Gender Controversy No One Saw Coming
Fri, 17 Jan 2025
Jase preached a sermon that was so mind-blowing he thought the church members might stone him for it, and Zach benefits from the most seemingly arbitrary advice Phil has ever given. The guys deliberate the meaning of life both eternally and earthly, and pose the question: “WHY did Jesus die?” Jase’s consideration of life and community leads him to get a little sappy with Missy on his way out the door, and Al floats a theory about the difference between modern and ancient people’s main struggle with accepting Jesus. In this episode: John 1, verses 1-13; John 6, verse 47; 1 John 4, verse 10; Galatians 2, verse 17; Ephesians 4, verse 28; Ezekiel 36, verse 26 -- Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: What controversial sermon did Jase preach?
Not sure that memory is going to be.
It may not be there. It may not be there. We're going to find out.
Sometimes the old stuff is there. Tony told you that he was. Tony sent me a note Saturday, which was encouraging. And I wish I had been in town because I'd have loved to have gone out and seen for myself. But he was like, your dad is on point today. He seems like.
I went and saw him yesterday, so I'll give a field report. And I do think, you know, he's doing better. But, you know, overall.
He hasn't been in pain for a while now.
Yeah, overall, look, the conditions and diagnoses are the same. So you got to keep it in mind. It becomes a perspective thing. But he's feeling better. And like you say, some days he does seem more normal. Having said that, I walked in and it felt like a meat locker in there. Oh, my goodness. Oh, cold? Yeah, it was so cold. When I went in the other day, it was 80.
And I was having trouble breathing. That's why I'm fixing to tell you. So my mom was on the couch with about six blankets. And she said, does it seem cold in here to you? And I'm like, no, it doesn't seem cold. There was no transition from outside. So I went over and looked at the thermostat. I think it said 48. And I said, well, here's your problem. And she's like, well, what?
I was like, you've turned the heat off. It was just off. So I flicked it on. Well, then my mom started griping about Phil. And I was like, okay, he might have turned it off. But all I did was come over here and turn it on at your house. So she was a bit grumpy about it. But then Phil got up.

Chapter 2: What advice did Phil give that surprised everyone?
And, I mean, it was pretty late in the day because I started talking real loud because she said he was asleep. And he got up. He's like... it's cold in here. I was like, yep, see right here. And so I was like, I think you turned off the heat. So we have that kind of stuff going on, you know, which is, I guess not abnormal for their age, but it's part of it. Yeah.
But still, I'm glad I went down there because I was like, it's pretty chilly in here, but he is doing better. And we do appreciate the prayers and, uh, we were on a pretty good regimen, uh, for just trying to improve his health with the conditions that he has.
Yeah, and the letters we've gotten, so many of you, and emails, it's been quite the encouragement for me personally as well. I do want to give a shout-out to Lisa. Yesterday we talked about Zach's birthday. Today is Lisa's birthday, and she probably won't hear this because she's like, Missy, she doesn't listen to our podcast, but... Happy birthday to her.
She was, to show you how influence and impact works, she was showing houses yesterday. It was a young couple engaged. They were looking for their first home. And so, you know, for her, that's part of the reason why she got into selling real estate. She sells most of it down in Alabama. And so she was up in the Sarah Land area, which is in the Mobile area. And so I was on my way home.
And so she called me and she said, John, I believe this couple is, I was showing this house to that. And she said, they, they loved it. They're going to buy it. And I said, that's great, babe. And she said, and he loved to hunt. So he was talking about hunting and his email has something to do with fishing. And she said, if I, I mean, they'd been together for an hour or two looking at houses.
And she said, well, you know, do you know what family I'm from? I mean, she said he looked kind of sheepish and he was like, yeah, they told me, but I just didn't want to bring it up. I didn't want to make it weird. And all this, you know, he said, I love your family. And I've always loved Phil and big impact on me. And so it was pretty neat.
And then he said, and my parents came over to Westville, no, at some point in the last decade and your dad, your, your father-in-law baptized, uh, my dad, and Al baptized my mom. Of course, you know, we baptize a lot of people, so I didn't remember exactly who she was. But he said, you know, your family has helped really shape my family.
I just wanted to say thanks for that, as well as helping us find this house. So I just thought about it. You know, we do what we do, and you don't think about the impact of it just in everyday life. But it makes a difference. I mean, it spreads out over time. I've always said I thought the first –
I don't know how much time, when you think about eternity, when we kind of have an ability to see the whole thing. Chase, you compared it to seeing video clips. When we have a chance to really connect all the dots because we'll have that capacity, that eternal capacity, isn't it going to be neat to find out people that were impacted by this podcast or by some other thing?
