Willie Robertson keeps faith central to DUCK DYNASTY: THE REVIVAL because his family isn’t ashamed of Christ’s role in their lives.
“The DNA of our family is centered around faith,” Robertson said. “Everything flows out of that. You can just see how that is flowing out of you through your family, through your love, through your kindness, through your forgiveness – and also, just by having a different perspective in life, having joy and having fun and being together and sitting around the dinner table. Having a prayer – these are small ways that can reflect that.”
Every episode of the original DUCK DYNASTY series ended in a prayer, and the reboot, DUCK DYNASTY: THE REVIVAL, has followed this tradition. This, however, is not the only way the Robertson family shares their faith. Simply by the way that they act and treat others, Christ shines through them.
Willie, for example, published a book in 2024, where he what it means to faithfully share the gospel with others.
“I think a lot of people come to faith, and I think later on, they’d be like, I didn’t know [sharing my faith] was part of the deal. I didn’t know I was supposed to tell anyone about it,” he told his daughter Sadie Robertson Huff. “I kind of make the case that, what if it’s the whole deal? The whole deal is about giving it away; it’s about telling others.”

“And so, in the book, I start building out this premise of where this comes from…I’m really interested once Jesus has come back from the dead, he’s only here for a few weeks, and what does he tell people to do? Like…here’s what needs to happen,” he continued. “So, we can clue in right there, you can clue into a couple of things but especially what you may know as the Great Commission at the end of Matthew 28: ‘All authority has been given to me.’ And he says three things there. He says, ‘Go make disciples, baptize people and teach people.’”
Meanwhile, Huff hosts a podcast where she discusses faith and living out a Christ-centered life with her guests. Through this podcast, she explores how to remain rooted in Christ despite the pressures from society to live a different way.
“I’ve sat in a room with church leaders who I love and adore…But there are times where I’ve even heard them say things like, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t do a conference at night because that is the night that college kids like to party.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s why we should do a conference that night, because people are going to party if we expect too little,’” Huff previously said.
“Let them [decide] if they’re going to go with the world or if they’re going to go with God, because you’ve got to make that decision,” she added.
It is amazing how the Lord continues to use the Robertson family to inspire and encourage their fans to live a life about Christ, rather than one that is centered around the things of this world.
