Unashamed with the Robertson Family
Ep 1088 | Phil’s First Act of Faith & Jase’s ‘Circle of Life’ Lesson to a Toddler Goes off the Rails
Thu, 08 May 2025
Jase accidentally traumatizes a toddler with a graphic “circle of life” moment that becomes a powerful lesson about God’s gifts, survival, and generational faith. The guys reflect on why fishing was Phil’s first act as a faithful man after coming to Jesus, and how the image of living water flowing into the Dead Sea reveals the transformative power of the Spirit. They connect John 7 to Ezekiel, Acts, and the Garden of Eden, weaving together what it really means to be a living temple filled with the Holy Spirit. In this episode: John 7; Ezekiel 47, verses 7-12; Jeremiah 2, verse 13; Isaiah 58, verse 11; Titus 3, verses 4-7; 1 John 4, verses 10-13 “Unashamed” Episode 1088 is sponsored by: https://vom.org/unashamed — Request your free copy of When Faith is Forbidden today by visiting the website or by calling 844-463-4059. https://puretalk.com/unashamed — Get 50% off your first month when you make the switch! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al is finally losing weight!

Chapter 1: What is the first act of faith discussed in the episode?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. We're back in our boxes. That's what I call it.
Again, everybody's in a different location.
We're in three different places. We're back in our boxes. I'm in the southern lair, which I know is just something about every time I get the opportunity to come back here is the Salty air. It puts me in a calm mode. Zach, it's my happy place.
Mine's in the mountains. I know it. Every time I come home, I drive up over the ridge and I see the mountains. I'm like, man. That cool, crisp air. It's not bad, Jace. You're down into the sweltering heat of the swamp.
No, what that means is y'all don't get out enough. I mean, my happy place is anywhere outside. I actually had a happy place experience. I'm passing on the legacy of being known as a wilderness person.
Yeah.
We had the little man yesterday and, uh, When he got to our house, Missy had gone and picked him up. When he came in, he said, J-Rock, let's go fishing. I mean, that's the first time. I've taken him a couple times. You know, when you're three years old, you don't have a lot to offer in the fishing world. You're basically just thinking, let's get out of this alive and in one piece.
And you're just kind of, he's observing. Although, you know, it's like you hook the fish, then you hand him the rod and say, hey, try it. And he's like, oh, I got a fish. So we went, we slipped over there to my brother's pond, you know, which I'm a little concerned about this because this is halfway yuppie fishing, you know.
Because it's in a curated pond that's stocked with fish. So somebody put the fish in there. And they raise the fish up and they feed them every day and they probably pet them and do stuff like that.

Chapter 2: How did Jase accidentally traumatize a toddler?
Has not Moses given you the law, yet none of you has been able to keep the law? Why are you trying to kill me? Which is John 7, 19. So if you're keeping score, that's the sort of arch questions that we've been talking about in the book so far. Yeah.
So I think we left off. Where did we leave off? 35?
Yeah, at 35. Do you want me to read it? Yeah, why don't you read it? All right. So he says, we're going off the last statement he said, which is, I am with you for only a short time. And then I go to the one who sent me. This is in 33. You will look for me, but you will not find me. And where I am, you cannot come. Of course, we know he's talking about the ascension.
And then verse 35, the Jews said to one another, where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? Which is interesting because that's exactly what was going to happen. But that's not what he was talking about, but it would happen. What did he mean when he said, you will look for me, but you will not find me.
Where I am, you cannot come. So that's kind of the pondering.
Well, and I think if you tie that in with what he had just discussed about why are you trying to kill me? Yeah. They were like, you're demon possessed. Who's trying to kill you? And then a few moments later, he's talking about, well, there's a place I can go or will go that you won't find me. Because that's the deal. It's like...
Well, even if we did want to kill you, now you have some secret spot that you can go hide that no one can get to you. Exactly.
Which the answer would have been absolutely. So this is kind of, remember we said this was like an eight-day feast. He waited a few days before he started. So he started in about midweek. And now in verse 37, John moves us to the last and greatest day of the feast. So now we're at the end of the feast. And so Jesus stood and says in a loud voice, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Whoever believes in me, as the scriptures has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. And then we get John, of course, giving us the commentary on what he meant. By this, he meant the spirit whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Because remember, he's writing this after all this has happened.
