Podcast Episode: Al Robertson – Life, Grace, and Redemption
In this heartfelt episode of Help Her Be Brave, Amy sits down with Al Robertson—pastor, author, speaker, and the “beardless brother” from Duck Dynasty. Al shares a decades-old mistake, a tearful apology, and the lesson that reshaped his approach to life, faith, and ministry.
Al Robertson’s story begins with his mother, Kay Robertson, who was only 16 when she became pregnant with him. This early story of life profoundly shaped Al’s lifelong passion for protecting and celebrating life.
Alongside his wife, Lisa, Al has dedicated their ministry to helping women facing unplanned pregnancies make better choices through community, grace, and support. Lisa’s own story of abortion and redemption inspires their mission, showing that God’s grace can heal even the deepest wounds.
During the conversation, Al opens up about a painful moment from his past—enforcing a church policy that denied a baby blessing to an unwed mother. Guided by God’s conviction, he reached out to apologize, embracing grace instead of shame.
This transformative lesson fuels Al’s message to churches today: move away from punitive approaches and instead welcome young women and their babies. Offering showers, support, and community can create a true “welcome home” for families in need.
Al closes the episode by encouraging churches to become front-line beacons of grace, ensuring women facing unplanned pregnancies can:
