Jase Robertson shares the last thing he heard his father say



On Sunday, May 25, Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson died following a tough battle with Alzheimer’s disease and other health issues.

After taking some time away to grieve and be with family, Phil’s sons Jase and Al, who are anchors on the “Unashamed” podcast, returned to share details about Phil’s passing and his funeral.

The funeral, which was a family service of 300-400 people, was perfectly suited for Phil. The family worshipped, preached the gospel, and celebrated Phil — not because of what he did, but because of what Christ did for and through him.

"I had to kind of detach myself," Jase admits, "because Phil had this famous line that he said many times: 'When I die, don't cry. You can sing; you can dance; you can do a little jig, but I made it.'"

The funeral was held in the same church — down to “the same room” — that Phil gave his life to Christ in. Per Miss Kay’s request, all four Robertson brothers — Jase, Al, Willie, and Jep — spoke. Phyllis, Phil’s daughter from an extramarital affair before he became a Christian, also spoke. Some of Phil’s grandchildren led a powerful worship service that brought many to tears.

Uncle Si, Phil’s brother, provided some needed comic relief, as he “kept talking back to Willie throughout his entire [speech],” even though he declined the opportunity to give his own speech.

“He was the sidekick to Phil and Kay through their first years of dating and probably 10 years of their marriage, and so he turned into the echo, which was funny,” laughs Jase.

At the grave site, Phil was laid to rest next to his sister Jan Dasher, who played a pivotal role in his coming to Jesus.

Jase’s son Reed says that hundreds of people, many of whom had never met Phil but had only watched his content, reached out in the days following his death to share how their lives were touched by his unshakable faith.

“Heaven got a titan,” he says of his grandfather.

In the final weeks before his death, Jase admits he was struggling watching his dad suffer.

“Every time I thought he was completely gone as far as communication-wise, something would happen, usually with the grandkids or the wives or whatever, and he would just lift up and say something,” he reflects. “My daughter started singing one night. ... He had done nothing all day to show any signs that he was with us, and he reached out his hand and held her hand.”

“It hit me in that moment. I thought God does a lot of good work in suffering,” he adds, citing Romans 5. “My daughter is never going to forget that moment.”

In his last conversation with Phil, Jase told his dad, “You're going to meet Jesus,” and Phil suddenly “came to,” “grabbed [Jase’s] hand,” and eagerly said, “Let’s go.”

Uncle Si and friends celebrate Phil Robertson’s heavenly homecoming after a life that impacted MILLIONS



On Sunday, May 25, "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson joined Jesus in heaven after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease and other health challenges. He leaves behind a legacy defined by his unwavering devotion to Jesus Christ and a fervent mission to guide others to salvation.

Phil’s impact was profound and far-reaching. His powerful testimony of redemption — transformed from a life of darkness to one radiant with the grace of Jesus — has guided countless individuals to seek repentance and embrace faith. In the wake of his passing, thousands have shared heartfelt stories about how Phil touched their lives. The impact he had will surely echo for generations to come.

Nobody, however, felt Phil Robertson’s presence more deeply than the people who shared life with him.

On this episode of “Unashamed,” Uncle Si, Zach Dasher and his wife, Jill, and longtime friend and Duck Commander General Manager Justin Martin gather to celebrate the man who forever changed their lives. Through tears and joy, they honor Phil’s enduring faith, love, and the indelible mark he left on their hearts.

“Even though Phil said, ‘Don't cry,’ we're going to cry,” says Martin. “The boss is home.”

“It’s not tears of sadness, OK? This is celebration time. He’s done done his stay on this earth,” says Si, adding that he “already knew” about Phil’s passing before the phone call came.

The group reflect about how they were praying for God to bring Phil home. He was suffering, not himself, and deeply missing “God’s creation,” where he spent the majority of his time. His passing was, therefore, a bittersweet mercy.

They also recall how Phil’s sister, Jan, foreknew the impact her brother would have if he came to know Jesus.

“Jan Robertson was the only one that didn't give up on Phil when he was running with the devil,” says Si. “She said, ‘Y'all have no idea how many people he's going to bring to Jesus,’ and she was right.”

Zach’s brother-in-law asked ChatGPT to estimate how many people heard the gospel from Phil Robertson, and it came back with the staggering number of “40 million people.”

“I’m even gonna say that that’s low,” says Martin, “and I think that number is only gonna grow, even in the state of which we’re in.”

“We're not even to the ripples yet. Phil Robertson's still got a tidal wave right now. … We ain't even crested yet to get to the ripple, because the ripple is going to extend through my children, through y'all's children,” he adds.

To hear the group’s stories about how Phil impacted them personally, watch the episode above. Grab a box of tissues — you’ll need them for this heartfelt tribute.

Happy, happy, happy: Celebrating Phil Robertson’s best ‘Unashamed' moments



On Sunday, May 25, beloved “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson passed away at the age of 79. While an official cause of death has yet to be confirmed by his family, Jase and Al Robertson, Phil’s sons, have been transparent about their father’s waning health since his diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease and his departure from the “Unashamed” podcast back in December 2024.

Before he became the man of faith he’s celebrated as today, Phil’s early years were marked by a recklessness and rebellion that nearly destroyed his family. At the age of 28, Phil, an alcoholic at the time, was running a bar and living separately from his family, whom he had kicked out. The steadfast prayers of his wife, Kay, however, led to an unlikely meeting in a bar, where a minister shared the gospel with Phil, who repented of his sins, accepted Jesus, and was baptized.

Phil’s life began anew. He embarked on a journey of faith that would lead him to become the adored camo-clad family man and evangelist we celebrate today.

On this special episode, we look back over the years at Phil’s best moments on the “Unashamed” podcast, which was aptly named after the Duck Commander’s bold and unapologetic faith in Jesus Christ. From raw and direct gospel messages to hilarious life lessons, we celebrate Phil’s life and legacy, knowing he’s in heaven now, saying, “Happy, happy, happy.”

Phil Robertson’s 79th birthday request might be the funniest thing that’s happened this year



Phil Robertson, beloved patriarch of Duck Commander and the Robertson family, is a symbol of rugged tradition. Decked out in camouflage, preaching a faith-centered, back-to-basics lifestyle, he's the antithesis of modern trendiness.

That’s why his 79th birthday request left his son Jase in stitches.

“It was the most shocking thing I’ve ever heard come out of my dad’s mouth,” he laughs.

On April 24, Phil, now living in a care facility as he battles Alzheimer’s disease, welcomed Jase for a visit. “Your birthday’s coming up, Dad,” Jase said. “What do you want me to get you?”

Phil’s answer? “You heard of this company called Nike?”

Jase, retelling the story on the “Unashamed” podcast, can’t hold back his laughter.

“You can’t make this up!” he cackles. “He said, ‘I think I want some of those Air Jordan tenny shoes'" — specifically “high-tops” in "orange and white.”

"I just really think if I had a pair of those I'd be all right," Phil added.

“10 minutes later he's like, ‘You going to get me them shoes?'" says Jase.

A few days later, after returning from a trip to Nashville, Jase visited his dad, who immediately asked, “Where’s my shoes?”

“I’ve never seen him wear a pair of tennis shoes in my life,” he laughs. “Sometimes the bucket list, you just start digging around in there and you come out with a pair of high-top Air Jordans.”

To hear Jase tell the hilarious story of his dad, who’s spent a lifetime dodging modern trends, wishing for a pair of Air Jordans, watch the episode above.

Love endures: Phil and Miss Kay Robertson reunite in care facility amid health struggles



Back in December 2024, Phil Robertson, the revered patriarch of Duck Commander, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The condition exacerbated other ailments, including a blood disorder and fractured vertebrae. His sons, Jase and Al Robertson, have been candid with the “Unashamed” audience about the ups and downs their dad has experienced since leaving the podcast. Earlier this month, Jase described Phil’s condition as “not good.”

Their mother and Phil’s wife, Miss Kay Robertson, has also faced her own health challenges. In February, she sustained a severe fall that resulted in an infected cut. The injury required surgery and 11 days in the hospital.

Between Kay’s time in the hospital and Phil’s professional care, the beloved Duck Dynasty couple has been separated.

However, in a recent episode of “Unashamed,” Jase and Al shared a heartwarming update: Phil and Kay have been reunited in a care facility.

While both parents are still struggling with their physical health, their reconnection is doing wonders for their spirits.

Jase celebrates their reunion as “fantastic”; Al agrees, calling it “a game-changer.”

“My dad's not doing great overall, and my mom is not doing great physically,” but “she's helping his morale” and vice versa,” says Jase.

“He's been so much calmer since she came back in,” Al adds.

While the reunion has been sweet, it’s also posed some challenges. Phil and Miss Kay alike are adored people. Their family is big, and their friend group is even bigger.

“The challenge has been we have so many people coming up there, we're being disruptive,” laughs Jase, noting that they’re working on solving the problem.

But being so loved and supported that you can't accommodate everyone who wants to visit is no doubt a good problem to have.

Robertson brothers deliver update on Phil’s health: 'More better days than bad days'



Beloved “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson has been absent from the “Unashamed” podcast for several weeks now due to medical issues.

Back in December, the Robertson brothers announced that their dad had been diagnosed with both a blood disease and Alzheimer’s disease and was suffering greatly as a result.

In a recent episode of “Unashamed,” Phil’s sons Jase and Al Robertson gave an update on the Duck Commander’s health.

It “[does] not seem like he's getting better,” Jase admits, noting that Phil’s waning condition has brought family members to tears at times.

Further, the recent discovery that Phil has several “fractured vertebrae” has only added to his discomfort.

Thankfully, it’s not all bad news.

Phil has “stints where he feels better,” says Jase. “Willie went down there last night, and Phil was perfectly fine — the best he had seen him mentally.”

Al, while heartbroken for his father, sees the silver lining. “It's definitely been a rally point for our family,” he says, noting the cooking and visiting centered around Phil.

“For any family that's going through a difficult time, you can sit around and just feel terrible about the situation, or you could say, ‘Let's pull together as a family and make it the best we can,’ so that's kind of been our approach,” he says.

Despite the difficult days, the family is encouraged that Phil has “more better days than bad days.”

For now, they ask that Phil’s supporters “keep praying."

Why is the new media so obsessed with angels and demons? Christian paranormal podcasters explain sudden shift



We are living in a time of great change. The mainstream media is dying, but podcasts exploring angels and demons are exploding. Perhaps we are entering a new age of enlightenment, but this time, society is turning toward the supernatural, not away from it.

The Robertson brothers recently invited podcasters Luke Rodgers and Nate Henry to the show to discuss this shift in public interest.

Rodgers and Henry are the hosts of “Blurry Creatures” — a highly popular Christian paranormal podcast that uses scripture to explore concepts like Bigfoot, aliens and UFOs, giants, and really any mysterious creature that hasn’t been proven to exist yet.

Christians, Rodgers says, must have a way to evaluate “the weird stuff,” especially now that the weird stuff is moving out of the fringe and into the mainstream. The fact that Congress just had a hearing to discuss “alleged secret government investigations into UFOs” is proof of this.

And now that big names in the new media, like Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, who claims he was mauled by a demon, and Shawn Ryan, among others, are talking about strange phenomena, more and more people are beginning to reject a materialistic worldview. What once was “relegated to wearing tinfoil hats” is becoming a subject of widespread interest.

Al Robertson, who’s been “studying and teaching and preaching the Bible for most of [his] adult life,” says that Christians shouldn’t be shocked or even that skeptical when strange otherworldly events occur.

So much of scripture, he says, involves "another realm and people on this Earth who are interacting back and forth” with that realm.

To believers who scoff at things like UFOs/UAPs and other kinds of preternatural events, he says, “Well, the Bible is full of it. ... What’s so shocking about things we can’t really explain or describe?”

Henry, invoking Dr. Michael Heiser, Old Testament scholar and Christian author whose studies on the supernatural culminated in his oft-cited book “The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible,” adds that “the average seminarian graduate only gets two classes on angels and demons.”

And by “classes,” he doesn’t mean courses but rather “lectures,” meaning that the average seminary student spends only two to three hours learning about supernatural entities in the entire time it takes to earn their degree.

This lack of education doesn’t make sense when you consider that “our Bible has got a lot of weird stuff in it,” says Rodgers, noting that angels, beings that are “not earthborn ... by definition should be extraterrestrial.”

Henry and Rodgers then share what they’ve learned about God, humanity, and the supernatural from their years of dissecting strange phenomena. Jase also shares his one experience that made him “revisit [his] thoughts on modern-day demon possession.”

Al Robertson noticed something unique about Trump signing EOs in the arena. ‘Who’s ever seen anything like this?’



When Al Robertson watched newly inaugurated President Donald Trump sign executive orders in the arena that was electric with patriotism and hope, he saw something he’s never seen before — Trump threw the pens he was using to the people, not to the dignitaries.

“He's signing, and the guy's telling what they're for, and people are cheering. ... I was like, 'Who's ever seen anything like this?'” he recounts.

“Then he starts throwing the pens to the crowd. It's like, 'Forget about the important dignitaries. ... These pens are for you,'” he laughs, noting that this stunt was certainly typical Trump showmanship, but it was also symbolic of the fact that America now has a president who is actually working for the people.

“Unashamed” guest Sarah Gabel Seifert, president and co-founder of EveryLife, a pro-life diaper and baby product company, was one of the 20,000+ people in the arena on Inauguration Day.

“It was something that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life,” she says. “The vibe was so electric.”

“Americans really do feel like they're being heard. Their voices are being heard. He's responding to the cries of Americans,” Sara tells Al, Jase, and Zach Dasher. “We want safety back in our country; we want families being built; we want very simple things, like cost going down. He's hitting on the topics that matter most.”

For the first time in a long time, Sarah says, Americans at large are engaged with what’s happening in the country.

“He's really igniting people, motivating people to realize they have a seat at the table and their voice matters.”

Renowned brain imaging specialist condemns mental health care as 'only medical specialty that never looks at the organ it treats'



If you went to the cardiologist complaining of chest pain, chances are your doctor will order a cardiac CT scan. If you went to the orthopedic surgeon after rolling your ankle, you’ll probably be in the X-ray room within minutes of your arrival. Chronic headaches? CAT scan. Knee trouble? MRI. Pregnancy complications? Ultrasound.

In nearly every medical scenario, doctors insist on knowing what’s going on inside the body.

Why then when we go to the psychiatrist complaining of negative thoughts, overwhelming anxiety, or unexplainable sadness, are we immediately prescribed pills and sent home?

That’s the question that’s long plagued author, psychiatrist, and brain disorder specialist Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of Amen Clinics — a nationally recognized health care clinic that targets the root of mental illness.

The Robertson brothers recently interviewed Dr. Amen about his unique and more holistic approach to mental health. What he reveals about mainstream mental health care is quite shocking.

When Dr. Amen was just 18 years old, he became an infantry medic in the Vietnam War. But he “didn’t like being shot at,” so he transitioned to serve as an X-ray technician, during which time his “passion for medical imaging” was born.

“I fell in love with the only medical specialty that never looks at the organ it treats,” he tells Jase and Al.

Amen clinics have sought to change that with the use of what’s called “brain SPECT imaging,” a scan that “looks at blood flow and activity” as well as “how your brain works.”

What Dr. Amen has learned over his years in the field is that so many mental health issues are misdiagnosed to the detriment of the patient. For example, he remembers one of his first patients who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease after nearly burning her house down from leaving the stove on. When he scanned her brain, however, he found that "she didn't have Alzheimer's." He put her on a different treatment plan to target the real issue, and she "got her memory back."

“In the United States (really all around the world), almost all psychiatric illnesses — anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia — they're made based on symptom cluster diagnoses,” says Dr. Amen.

“You go to your family practice doctor ... your psychiatrist, or psychiatric nurse practitioner, you tell them what you're experiencing or your family does, and they go, ‘Oh, you have this or you have that’ with no biological data,” he says, calling it “insane.”

“Depression can come from low thyroid,” “[living] in a mold-filled environment,” or even in the aftermath of COVID, which Dr. Amen calls “an inflammatory bomb that goes off in your emotional brain.”

Further, “mild traumatic brain injury ruins people's lives, and nobody knows because nobody looks,” he adds.

When treating various mental health conditions, Dr. Amen isn’t opposed to medications, but it’s never the first or the only thing he considers.

“If I really think you have bipolar disorder, well then I'm going to give you lithium or [lamotrigine], but I'm also going to work hard to get your brain healthy,” he says.

Robertsons ask 2 combat veterans about mysterious drones — 'Can we relax?'



This week, the Robertsons invited combat veterans and podcasters Chad Robichaux and Chadd Wright on the show to talk Jesus and drones.

As for the mysterious drones we still don't know much about, they say that if the military really wanted them down, they’d be down.

“How long would it take to correct this problem?” Jase asks.

“If our military wanted those things out of the sky, they would be down in hours,” says Robichaux. “[John Kirby] says they don't know what they are, but they're not a threat to public safety, and they’re not a national security threat. Well, that means they know what they are.”

“So we can relax?” Jase asks.

“I think so,” Robichaux says.

Even if the drones do belong to us, the American people are still frustrated at the government’s lack of transparency.

However, Wright says that in certain cases, secrecy is necessary.

“I don't like that the government has secrets either, but here's the thing — some things have to remain secret that the government is doing. You have enemies and you have a population who’s going to respond in a way that is detrimental to society if you was to actually tell them what’s going on,” he explains.

“These people in these cities, man, if you was to tell them that there’s some imminent threat and maybe that’s the reason these drones are flying around ... they’re gonna lose their minds,” he adds.
