Episode Synopsis

In this heartfelt conversation, Amy welcomes Al Robertson, the "beardless brother" from Duck Dynasty. Al opens up about a decades-old mistake, a tearful apology, and the lesson that changed how he approaches life, faith, and ministry. Al shares: His family's story of life — how his mother Kay was only 16 when she became pregnant with him, shaping his lifelong passion for protecting and celebrating life. Lisa's story of an unplanned pregnancy and redemption — and how their ministry now helps other women make better choices through community, grace, and support. A painful moment of conviction — when Al realized he had enforced a church policy that denied a baby blessing to an unwed mother, and how God led him to embrace grace instead of shame. Why grace works — how churches can move from punitive approaches to welcoming young women and their babies, offering showers, support, and a true "welcome home." Legacy & urgency — after losing his father Phil Robertson, Al reflects on passing down faith and values to future generations. He closes by encouraging churches to become a place where women in unplanned pregnancies can be brave, choose life, and experience God's kindness.
