The Part of My Family's Story You Haven't Heard | Sadie Robertson Huff & Willie Robertson

Willie Robertson joins Sadie to talk about the upcoming movie, "The Blind," which follows the story of Sadie's grandparents - Phil & Kay Robertson - in the early years of their marriage and when their lives were transformed by the Gospel. Sadie asks Willie about that early part of his childhood, when his dad wasn't a believer yet, and how Phil and Miss Kay's decision to follow the Lord quite literally changed their family's trajectory. Willie and Sadie challenge us to find ourselves in the film's story: Are you the person praying for someone in your life who's not in a good place? Is your marriage in trouble? Are you sharing the Gospel with someone in your life again and again but not seeing them change their mind? Ministry is everywhere and can be anything, big or small! For some it means writing books, speaking all over the world to large audiences, but for others, it can be simple acts of kindness and grace for anyone we encounter throughout the day. And remember NO ONE is outside of God's love - never give up on anyone and let the Holy Spirit work on their hearts! Watch "The Blind" in theaters starting September 28.

We love Cru. Thanks for this partnership to get physical food and the spiritual food of the Word of God to people all over the world. ❤

[@marciadawsson9002]

It's funny how u don't like Jimmy darts lol 😆 😂

[@jeffblalock4630]

Sadie was the one who actually bought me back to the Lord❤. I'm truly serious about this. She's definitely apart of my testimony, on a sermon she done! "What is Truth" is the name of that sermon ❤🙏

[@brittneywheeler2326]

Thank you@SadieRobertson

[@jamesknotts1546]

Really a wise perspective of how things could have worked out without the presence of Christ in his life

[@AsianBeautyThanksForThe.Likes1]

Im an ex muslim born again Christian . It was Sadie that help me make that decision to give my life to Jesus Christ

[@MountainMan.]

I'm so glad you found Jesus. He told us no one comes to the Father except through Him. I'm going to pray for you.

[@Bubba-kr6km]

I’m so happy you found Jesus as your own.

[@SJD36]

That's awesome!

[@danielamartinez5351]

AMÉN!🙏🏽

[@user-us9gi1hq7d]

I love hearing willie talk about how they started duck dynasty to spread the gospel, because y’all’s show is part of the reason I became a Christian. I grew up in an atheist family who raised me to believe that Christians are stupid and watching y’all show and listening to you has helped me so much!!

[@KStone9711]

AMEN!!!

[@phyllisvincent6345]

As a single parent raising 2 young boys who are adults now. I felt abandoned and helpless because their father didn't want to support us. Thank God for family who let us live with them but could not help financially. I was on welfare for a year and prayed to God to help me. I met a christian co-worker who would witness to me daily and I went with his family to a christian church. It was the first time I attended a christian service. I immediately felt the holy spirit and a week later gave my life to the Lord. My life changed immediately and I got a good paying job and was able to get an apartment and support my sons on my own. They were raised in church and attended youth ministry until they were adults. God loves us so much that he desires us to surrender everything to him and he will be in control of our broken lives. He is not willing that none should perish but all come to repentance. All glory to God.

[@JJ-pc3fh]

This is really precious to have a father and a daughter talking about this. I never miss an episode of Phil’s Unashamed podcast. Phil talks about how ashamed he is of his past life. I’m sure it’s difficult seeing it come to life being he’s so far removed from the man he was back then. However, like you two are saying, millions of people have been touched by him becoming a follower of the Almighty One❤. Proof that God works in mysterious ways.

[@theekatatonixplanet2343]

Hearing Phil talk about running his woman and children off due to drinking, made me think about my man doing the same. We reconciled because I wouldn’t let go. He stopped drinking and accepted Jesus before he passed.

[@ghhm2705]

Oh praise God! Thank you for sharing your testimony! May it encourage others to not give up and trust God Almighty. He is able!

[@brookebales2931]

Also I want y’all to know, my Dad passed in his sleep in 2021, and we were super close. And one of our many memories was whenever him and I would watch Duck Dynasty together ❤ he loved Phil and could relate to him. And all the fam. Brought us so much laughter and we loved the prayers at the end 🙏 so whenever I watch any of y’all, I think of my pops ❤ love y’all so much!!! PTL for each of you.

[@jakemuscan]

Your dad is watching over and waiting for you in heaven. ❤

[@brookebales2931]

Amen 🙏 he sure is! He loved Jesus! Thank you. ❤

[@hollyvincent7726]

My husband and I never go to the theater but as soon as we saw the trailer for The Blind we made a date to see it. We love Phil and Miss Kay and are so excited to be able to support their film. Phil and Miss Kay are a great example of perseverance and love. ❤

[@louisesproul8493]

I'm a 60 year NaNa of a 16 year old granddaughter and 2 year old grandson. I used to watch Duck Dynasty and now I was Unashamed and you. I love Jesus and have within the last 4 years come to really know Him by getting access to Pentecostal preachers instead of Baptist. I now attend a church of Christ and LOVE IT. My churches name is New Hope Revival and we are praying for Revival to hit the area and spread like wildfire!! I am also praying that God would convict every pastor that doesn't preach 100% of the Bible and if they won't repent to replace them with a pastor that will. Keep going for the Lord Sadie!!!

[@carlyyrobbins]

My husband and I have somehow never went to the movies together, but we went to see the blind and it was great! Such a powerful story of how you are truly never too far gone for God. If you still have breath in your lungs, the fight isn’t over ❤️

[@alicerice8506]

Y’all are describing my life from childhood and now I’m 50 years old. When I got saved in my 30’s my life did a 180. It’s been hard and it’s still hard but I have a savior that never leaves my side. I can’t wait to watch this movie

[@tional5266]

I relate so much to Miss Kay, believing for my husband also , I wish she would teach more

[@christink4685]

So nice to see father and daughter talking together about family history and God. Sadie, you so resemble your dad! Those dimples!!! God bless you all

[@timpace3105]

So amazing to see how God has used your family to spread the Gospel, thankful for Phil and Kay's willingness to be transparent. Can't wait to support the movie!

[@stephanie6348]

My great grandma use to hold church in her house when the pastor was sick. I come from 3 generation's of pastors in my family. I love watching God move in people life!!

[@mejusthot]

Good Lord uses illness, disability, emotional "instability" for His will, for His purpose. He is worthy of all the glory in the stories 🙌

[@barefootinbeth]

Jesus doesn’t care if she says yeah a million times. She is sharing the gospel, that’s what matters.

[@joanpettengill2758]

I am always astounded by how Our Heavenly Father works in each and every one of our lives. My husband ( who recently has been reading the Bible and learning about Jesus) and I went to see The Blind. What a beautiful testimony of God's love and steadfastness. My husband said upon leaving the movie "I am so thankful I met you because I would never have known I could have a personal relationship with Jesus." I was previously married for 32 years to a wonderful man of God. He went on to be with the Lord in 2015. God has restored my life in ways I could not have imagined or scripted. HalleluYah 🙌🕊️💕. For anyone going through a tough time hang in there the Lord is working things out for you.

[@2551nikkie]

thank you, I am a member of church of about 400, and I love it, I'm 11 years sober with Gods help. I love your family they are amazing.

[@Zodapopzzx]

Heavenly Father I bless You with Peace and we pray for peace and that we may remain One and Set Apart. We are Moving forward everyday!

[@walkingtrails7776]

Absolutely love the Robertson family! Wish more family's were like them in their FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ!!! Thank you Sadie for this important podcast!

[@suzanneross4710]

Woah… thank you both for doing what you’re doing. I really needed this. My marriage is on the edge of divorce so hearing this about Phil and knowing I need to put more trust in the Lord has given me hope.

[@tinafavabean]

I feel that God used Phil to make his mistakes in his younger life, because the testimony is so powerful of him finding Christ and that is what will impact people, because there’s so many people who don’t feel they are worthy of God’s love, because of their past mistakes. The entire Robertson Family is a huge inspiration. Thank you all for all that you do! 🙏🙏🙏✝️🥰

[@lali170]

Beautiful to see you Sadie with your Dad.. Love the Robertson Dynasty. Waiting to see the movie.❤

[@bettyrubble9420]

It is very important for that “life change” to happen Willie cause I can tell you that “life change” happened for me, however, it did not happen for my kid’s dad and it has destroyed their lives. The life your dad Phil walked away from, repented of and thankfully gave his life to Jesus, could have destroyed your life. Also I always feel sorry for Phil cause I watch him live it over and over again when certain ones talk about it. I am grateful for how compassionate Al is with your dad. Thank you Phil for praying at the end of each episode of DD. My boys and I were so broken, I would cry to hear a man, a father, pray with his family. Thank you Phil for not abandoning them. Look at how Jesus has used you, wow. To quote Charles Stanley “obey God and leave all the consequences to Him”.

[@lucylulu9940]

I never watched Duck Dynasty, too busy raising kids. I watched the Blind and I’ve been watching Duck Dynasty on demand since. I just love the show and it sure is entertaining me at this moment. Love your love, family and God! It is making a difference and I thank you.

[@vanuss120]

Movie was so Great to help people see they can rely on God and not the bottle.

[@kelseyDOD]

I bought tickets for opening night! I love everything your family does and supports. I heard the Holy Spirit speaking through Willie here! This was one of my favorite episodes yet

[@theblindmovie]

Thank you for buying opening night tickets! We're so excited for everyone to see it soon! - Beth, "The Blind" team

[@lovelyholm2646]

I love how God works. This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for posting!

[@jamesanderson-cz5wx]

Love the Robertson's... not only is the entire family Hilariously funny, and great entertainment, they Love God and always put him first. NYC says thank you Roberson's for who you are and what you have been doing and continually do. Spreading the Good News.

[@zahavailan3782]

This was SOOO good. To not be stuck!! wow. and so much more. Please pray for my brother LB who just lost his son who died suddenly. He needs someone like that man who went to the bar to tell your Grandpa the TRUTH!!!! Thank you for your prayers.

[@christykuder1190]

We are all called to be the Hands and Feet of Jesus! If your church isn’t this, start it! 🙏🏼❤️

[@sandiatsdmb1736]

This came up on my YT ventures this evening. I am glad I took the time to watch, and I did sub. I look forward to watching the movie of your family's past. No doubt it will be so inspirational for many! With faith we can overcome so much. People need to understand that you do not need to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth to find success at many levels. So many generations have not typically had God in school or their lives, and so many haven't even had the opportunity to be introduced to our Lord and Saviour. Their parents never took them to church or discussed faith with them. This movie may be just what they need to realize that you can start from nothing and find faith and a bright future.

[@erikahope8928]

Soo love this families story! Also love hearing Willie talk about how we as believers need to share the gospel and how he does and Sadie baptizing people in the bathtub. Just absolutely awesome!! Glory to GOD!!!❤🙌✝️

[@dannywood1472]

Sadie, you have helped an old man open his eyes. I have found out why I have been through the medical and personal experiences. I need to find out my purpose in my life. You are amazing . Thank you

[@mbabaziguma]

I love how close they clearly are as a father and daughter. Beautiful. Amen!

[@texaseatsandtreats6085]

Couldn’t have loved this more!! Amazing testimony of love and faith for family! And community too! ❤

[@colleenbrewer4453]

We have already purchased our tickets for The Blind movie. We are excited for it.

[@theblindmovie]

Yay! We're so excited for you all to see it very soon! - Beth, "The Blind" team

[@terryealey1673]

Our church has a sign over the top of the door as you leave. “When you leave this building you are entering the mission field. “ I truly believe it is the time for all of the church body needs to share the gospel. 🙏🏻

[@user-kj1hh9kj3n]

I had a child hood similar to this and my family found Jesus when I was 16 and it turned my whole life around god is great he works in mysterious ways and listening to this helps most people keep faith and know there not alone and what a god we have✝️🙏

[@victoriab8432]

Phil's strength and fortitude is the most beautiful example the Lord. Thank you for what you give to some many.

[@tracypateable]

It's a testimony of how much influence a father has on a family.

[@Suzanhanson8478]

Page 3 of 3) from John about God’s peace, presence and power. He treats every family as it would be our family. God gave him this ability. He averages 70-75 funerals a year; many now are family members of past funerals bc Pastor Hanson is who they ask for. He had a Mama who prayed that God would give her a son & she’d give him to God. I’m blessed to be his wife & Mama to our 3 sons 45 yrs now. ❤ Psalm91

[@troymitchell1747]

I was told by a wise friend “ If you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans” lol I’m nowhere near where I’d thought I’d be. It was way harder than I planned, but I am so blessed for it. He has plans for you,and that’s where you’ll end up, if you let him in your life.

[@ghhm2705]

Proverbs 19:21, and 16:9!

[@carlyyrobbins]

Can totally relate to this. I wouldn’t change any of the journey for the world though. Praise Jesus!!

[@grownfolkbeats]

Sadie is so well spoken and intelligent she has a very very bright future

[@mjalphonse]

Such a genuine family! Willie’s story of waking up late and almost messing up the TV show brought so much comfort to me because I struggle with perfectionism and control so much. I have this deep, constant feeling that I’m going to majorly mess things up or ruin my life or lose out on what God is doing in me because I’ll miss it somehow or make a mistake or lose control. To hear someone live out “my worst fear” and have it be one of the best things to happen to them, and even him recalling the story laughing about it is so comforting to hear.

[@Superchick.Marie777]

I bet he couldn’t be more proud of Sadie. What a wonderful encouragement this video / podcast is to me. ❤❤

[@carolyncarter-nash6757]

Hi from Phoenix, AZ. This was my first time watching your show. I’m so proud of you Sadie. I am going to go find your other shows. You are an inspiration too many. May God continue to put a hedge of protection around you and your family. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜

[@jennieflash7208]

I know some of your family and they have helped me and I didn't know they were your family, I knew them as God's family, Thank you for loving God!!!

[@marthamalone9791]

You have really blessed me. Please pray for me. I lost my ability to walk early this year. I I'm 75 years old and have been a Christian since I was eight. Please pray that I can regain my ability to walk. May God continue to bless your family.

[@bethanyhall1524]

Sadie, i love what you do for Jesus! Im not sure why all these people are focused on the wrong thing of what youre saying, but their heart is wrong ans i thoufht this was a great show! I clicked on it to watch becaus eyoir dad was on it. I remember watching Duck Dynasty when my now husband and I were dating 20+ years ago! Keep rockin it! The Lord is mighty in you!💐

Love the testimony of the "stuck" places being just what God uses! Thank you ❤

[@ashleya_heilig]

This is my second time hearing Kay and Phil’s story. The first time I heard it not too long ago I thought woah… and I still do. My heart raced knowing this is my same story. I’ve followed your family since the beginning of duck dynasty but never knew the back story. And now as I’m married and hear the story I can relate to Kay as my marriage is in the exact same place now. I’ve left and come back and keep praying because it’s all I can do. I know God is here 💕 When I first heard the movie was being made I prayed and haven’t stopped that it will stir my husbands heart towards the Lord. I’m so excited to go see the story with him and am hopeful and expectant it opens his heart. Thank you to your family for being a willing vessel and sharing such a raw and vulnerable story. 💛 There is hope!

[@jakemuscan]

Trust God's plan, whatever that plan may be. He is the only one able. He is the owner. It's His domain.

[@sarahko2014]

May God draw your husband to Himself and bring healing and redemption to your story in Jesus' Name!

I'm Thankful for your families. I try to watch, Not Ashamed. I listen and once in a while send a message back.

[@lyndseymontano552]

What a profound message; talking about how many lives have been touched and how many wonderful things have happened and it all started with the man who went to preach to Phil while he was in the bar! That is an inspiring, eye opening, soul shaking moment! I am A believer and love the Lord with all my heart. I know He orders our steps and has a plan but when you look at everything that’s happened in your family and how it almost didn’t happen… it’s just crazy to think of how important every single decision we make truly is. Even the people we speak to, witness to, love on, care about, pray for, hold on to, never give up on, etc., can change the course of someone’s life forever! I needed to hear this today so thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!!! 💚💚💚
