Summary

The Robertson family may have stumbled onto a surprisingly simple secret to a long, healthy life, and Jase, Al, and Zach compare the routines that have kept generations of their family going strong. The guys also reflect on a military veteran who searched for truth in Islam before finding peace in Jesus, then turn to James 2 for a hard look at favoritism, wealth, and celebrity culture inside the church. They challenge every Christian to reflect on how they treat others, and dig into why even correct theology becomes empty noise when it is separated from the character of Jesus. In this episode: James 1:4; James 1:27; James 2:1–26; Deuteronomy 6; Exodus 20; Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 9; Genesis 10–11; Joel 2:28; Acts 2:5–17; Acts 15; 1 Corinthians 1:26–31; John 5; Matthew 5–7 “Unashamed” Episode 1377 is sponsored by: https://homechef.com/unashamed — Get 50% off and free shipping on your first box plus free dessert for life! curehydration.com/unashamed — Get 20% off your first order with promo code UNASHAMED https://bravebooks.com/unashamed — Use code UNASHAMED for 20% off your order! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

0:00.0	I am unashamed. What about you?
0:06.2	Welcome back to Unashame. Sacks got his yawns all done. So let me get them out.
0:12.2	Stretch the arms out right before we started recording us. Let me get the yawn out.
0:15.8	Which we appreciate because when we're making a say point in the podcast is when you've been yawning
0:22.5	in the past that's what it throws us off so thank you Zach.
0:25.7	There are social subtleties that are being respectful to other people which is exactly
0:33.2	where we're at in James too which this was a bigger picture because it's like all about
0:41.3	Jesus, all about Jesus, and then the way you treat people or just the ignoring people
0:48.2	around you, that doesn't fit with the living like Jesus narrative. You see? Yeah. That's why I said, if we're doing a podcast, three guys, and in the middle of a point,
0:59.5	one of the guys is yawning.
1:01.7	It's like, he's not, no, wait a minute.
1:03.5	He's not necessarily ignoring the people around him.
1:06.4	He could just be tired because he's trying to raise a family,
1:09.6	and he's sacrificing his life for his children and working hard, Jason.
1:15.6	But why are we all doing that?

1:37.6	I have a different, things are different to me.
1:42.2	And I'm like, no, no, we all. There's a definition you should look up. It's called gaslighting. And you're gaslighting me right now, but I'm not going to fall into it. See, I don't know what that means because when I hear gas lighting, that is not a good thing to do. No, I mean, that's clever. What you're doing is a sign of brilliance.
