Ep 1258 | Phyllis Revisits Phil’s Past, His First Words to Her & the Healing They Found Together

Author: The Robertson Family January 30, 2026 Duration: 54:46
As the Robertsons begin wrapping up their first full duck season without Phil, they reflect on legacy, hard work, and the faith that shaped their family. Phyllis joins the conversation to look back on Phil’s later years, the weight of the words “I never knew,” and the healing that followed Phil’s honesty instead of silence. The guys and Phyllis discuss trauma, forgiveness, and how truth spoken even late in life can still bring restoration.  To hear Phyllis’s story from the beginning, watch her first Unashamed appearances in episodes 95 and 96 here:  https://youtu.be/9n4Ab6mL9W0?si=YD9337YYIr5_AC6n https://youtu.be/kA4BCl5mhbY?si=MJgoQOfNB0EXjkwk And pre-order her book I Never Knew at https://ineverknewbook.com  In this episode: Hebrews 12, verse 11; Romans 12, verse 2; 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17; Philippians 3, verse 13 “Unashamed” Episode 1258 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens around a kitchen table or on a front porch, where faith isn’t a formal topic but a lived reality woven into everyday stories. That’s the feeling you get with Unashamed with the Robertson Family. Phil, Al, Jase, and Zach, along with occasional guests, gather not as distant figures but as neighbors, sharing their lives from West Monroe, Louisiana. They discuss scripture and its practical application with a direct, often humorous perspective that comes from decades of walking with Christ through both trials and triumphs. This podcast is built on the conviction that the Gospel is for everyone, and the Robertsons deliver that message without pretense. You’ll hear candid reflections on family, personal struggles, and the joys of belief, all rooted in a deep study of the Bible. It feels less like a scheduled broadcast and more like pulling up a chair to listen in on a genuine, encouraging discussion among friends who are unafraid to be exactly who they are. Each episode invites you into a space where faith is tangible, stories are heartfelt, and the focus remains on sharing God’s word in a way that resonates long after you’ve finished listening.
