Ep 1357 | Al Robertson Goes to Prison & Finds a Robertson Family Surprise
6/17/202656 min
Al, Jase, and Zach reflect on Al’s powerful visit to a Louisiana prison, where hundreds of men gathered to hear the Gospel and a group of fathers prepared for a long-awaited visit with their children. Al talks about following in Phil’s footsteps through prison ministry, the unexpected Robertson cousin he met behind bars, and the hope men can still find when they choose a new future for their families. Jase also shares the wild story of a duck hunter whose run-in with an alligator became the rock-bottom moment that sent him back to God.

Spotify, it's Jay Shetty. Are you one of those media strategy people scrolling through spreadsheets, searching for an audience that pays twice as much attention to your ads than they do on social? Let me introduce you to fans, and they're here with me on Spotify. Trust me, I know fans. They don't skip, they stay for hours. They don't move on, they manifest.

I mean, like, we know, we have to keep working.
Jase Robertson· Host1:21
I thought the same thing about, I thought you were in charge. I guess not.
Al Robertson· Host1:24
If you don't even know when we're working, I, I don't know. But anyway, let's- Well, the Lord's in charge ... that's what we're dealing with. So,
