    Season 3 Ep 12 How to Build Character in Your Kids w/ Missy Robertson

    Season 3 Ep 12 How to Build Character in Your Kids w/ Missy Robertson

    Missy Robertson has learned to live life in the spotlight as she played an important part in her family's record-breaking reality television series for 11 seasons on A&E's Duck Dynasty. Despite the increased publicity on her family, company, and personal life, she has managed to become a strong voice for morality and virtue both locally and globally. To that end, Missy recently released her latest book, Because You're My Family, a children's book that depicts the journey of a family who has adopted.

    Missy is based in West Monroe, Louisiana and is a devoted mother of four children (Reed, Cole, Karina, and Mia), wife to Jase, and a brand new grandmother. She has contributed heavily to the Robertson family business, Duck Commander, and has been an integral part of the success that the family and company has seen in recent years.

Gift of God

I travel a couple hours back and forth to the doctors. Every-time I listen to your podcast, the Lord blesses me with incredible knowledge and wisdom, not to mention that my Faith in Christ is incredibly stronger by understanding what you guys teach. I laugh with your jokes, and reminiscing the past because it seems to me y'all are around my age so I can relate. Love and Hugs in Jesus Christ, May God continue to Bless your Fantastic Ministry 🙏🤗🥰👼🙏🤗🥰👼🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

A True Blessing

I love this podcast! The podcast has become my devotions. Ruth and Patrick make every podcast so relatable and when there is a time of struggle they know just the words. As if they are talking directly to me! They are a true blessing from God to press his word.

A blessing to your ears!

A friend recommended episode 28 about abortion to me. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the conversation and how biblically sound it is. I am now going back and listening to the rest! Highly recommend!
