Summary

Jase, Missy and Al welcome HGTV’s Ben and Erin Napier for a candid, funny tour of “real reality” TV—how faith shapes decisions, why small-town life resonates, and what it takes to protect your kids and your peace when cameras are everywhere. They trade early-day stories from Duck Dynasty and Home Town, convinced that every hometown has their own version of Uncle Si. A literal lightning strike punctuates the conversation as they celebrate community, craft, and the freedom to be who you are on and off camera. “Unashamed” Episode 1168 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get 40% off sheets, towels, and more when you use our link or code UNASHAMED! https://masachips.com/robertson — Get 25% off your first order when you use code Robertson! https://andrewandtodd.com or call 888-888-1172 — These guys are the real deal.
