Willie Robertson, star of "Duck Dynasty" and part of the Robertson family (‪@WillieRobertsonOfficialChannel‬ ‪@PhilRobertsononBlazeTV‬,) reflects on his journey from Italy to running Duck Commander. In Florence, he gained an appreciation for art and culture, but you'll never believe what his actual college degree was. His entrepreneurial spirit began early with Willie’s Worms. Influenced by his father, Phil, and supported by his wife, Korie, he embraced the idea of a reality show to spread the gospel. Discussing his new book, "Gospeler," Willie emphasizes the importance of active discipleship and connecting with others to spread faith, showcasing a story of hope, faith, and authenticity. In this episode, Willie shares the lessons he learned about business, the impact of family, and the importance of stepping out of comfort zones to make lasting connections. His journey from early entrepreneurial ventures to leading a multimillion-dollar hunting and outdoor business highlights the significance of resilience and vision. He discusses how his family’s authenticity, faith, and humor made "Duck Dynasty" a hit and stresses the need for believers to actively engage and share their faith with others. He also discusses the real-life situations that led to the hit movie “The Blind,” a biopic of patriarch Phil Robertson.

    Willie was my junior high basketball coach, and he really made a positive impression on me. He’s the real deal!!
  • @mycabbages3538
    I just started showing my kids duck dynasty on YouTube because there’s nothing else on tv that’s wholesome anymore. Ty you guys for living out your faith.
  • @bradleyhughes6853
    I came back to Christ because of this man and his family, I grew up watching duck dynasty, just enjoyed the family aspects of it and how they related to mine. Fast forward and I found the Unashamed podcast, at a time 3 years ago, when I had lost hope. Then I started reading books written by Willie, Phil and most importantly the Bible again. I still have some major struggles, but in my faith it has made things bearable. I am currently trying to bring my father back to the faith, it is an uphill fight, but one day I will succeed.

    "We are the church" No truer words have been spoken...imo

    Man, how wonderful this is? Best church service I’ve been to in years. It made me see how I’ve taken Jesus for granted. Heck, I talk more about my hobbies than I do Jesus and Jesus is the most important person in my life. I’m so ashamed of my wasted life.
  • @blaineolson6825
    Glenn, you do provide us HOPE in addition to all the Negativity you bring to our awareness. Just like sharing the Gospel, people need to know the Darkness in order to Appreciate and Accept the LIGHT(who is our Salvation). Thank you for bringing Willie on. I personally needed to be reminded of the importance of sharing the Hope that is in me…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

    I still have my "Uncle Si" tea glasses. Also my Christmas decorations from Duck Dynasty. My granddaughter grew up laughing with me at these shows, They reminded me of growing up with my brothers in the country.
  • @SlipjointAddict
    Duck Dynasty was a fun show. The Unashamed podcast helped open my eyes that it’s not about just obedience to God. Love Him. How? Well, that’s where Jesus comes in, presented by the men who shared what they witnessed.

    Willie lives a mile down the road from me. He built a beautiful home
