I’m fortunate enough to live in a time that reality tv is at its peak. 

I’m not talking about “The Kardashians” or “Love is Blind”. I’m thinking of a show that took place in West Monroe, Louisiana, featuring men with long facial hair that love ducks. 

This show is incredibly different because it first aired in a time that TV wanted to display anything but a Christ-like nature, and they did just the opposite. 

The head of the family that starred in this show is Phil Robertson. Phil was unapologetically alive for Christ and learning about Phil was inspiring but also convicting. 

After Phil gave his life to Christ, he felt so called to share the good news. He would feel convicted by seeing a stranger in a parking lot because he didn’t know where they stood with Jesus. He even tried to share Jesus with people who stole from him. 

I’m not sharing this to brag about how cool Phil Robertson is, but there is something we can all take from him. We have the same opportunities he did, and we can take them. 

In Matthew 28:19 Jesus says to the disciples , “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Christians, we all come from different walks of life, but we are united in one purpose, to seek out the kingdom of God and lead others there too. 

My prayer is that I and whoever reads this will notice and take advantage of their opportunity to spread the good news, that eternal life is found through faith alone in Jesus Christ for all who accept Him.
