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 Kingdomāin 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 āalready and not yetā of the Kingdom, temple imagery, and why Jesusā resurrection in the flesh changes how we live today.
If youāre longing for direction, community, or courage to live on offenseānot defenseāthis oneās for you.
