    Active, Not Reactive: Reed & Brighton Robertson on Seeking the Kingdom | #55

    Zach and Jill welcome family (and fan favorites) Reed & Brighton Robertson for a vulnerable, joy-filled conversation about moving from a reactive life to actively seeking the Kingdom—in marriage, parenting, community, and grief. From growing up amid Duck Dynasty fame to soldering LED panels for $14/hour, Reed opens up about identity, pressure, and how the Holy Spirit met them in the ordinary. Brighton shares candidly about losing her father, then later her niece and nephew, and how that unimaginable sorrow reshaped their faith, purpose, and pace. Together they wrestle with the “already and not yet” of the Kingdom, temple imagery, and why Jesus’ resurrection in the flesh changes how we live today. If you’re longing for direction, community, or courage to live on offense—not defense—this one’s for you. In this episode: • Family, fame, and finding identity beyond a TV moment • Seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6) as a daily, active posture • When grief hits: hope, honesty, and the Spirit who sustains (Romans 8) • The tension of Kingdom now & Kingdom coming (Hebrews 12; Ephesians 2; 1 & 2 John) • Why bodies matter: incarnation, resurrection, and temple language • Marriage, kids, and how God uses family to sanctify our loves • Choosing intentional community over isolation
