Willie Robertson and his family are known for sparking laughs, but the “Duck Dynasty” star, his parents and siblings have also spent much time sharing their faith and inspiring the masses.
Robertson, who is set to release his new book, “Gospeler: Turning Darkness into Light One Conversation at a Time,” is on a mission to encourage people to share their faith in Jesus.
“[I] felt like God had a message right now … and that’s always been on my heart,” Robertson told CBN News of his reasons for writing the book. “And, obviously, that was impacted by my father [Phil Robertson] sharing his faith a lot.”
The Robertsons’ story has been told in books and, most recently, through the powerful feature film “The Blind,” a drama recounting Phil Robertson’s journey from alcohol and chaos to Christ.
Robertson said his father’s conversion to Christianity decades ago forever changed the trajectory of his family, positing what would have happened had it never unfolded.

“Had that not happened—had mom and dad not found their faith—I would have grown up a completely different person,” he said. “I don’t even know that I would have faith.”
Robertson continued, “There would have been no company Duck Commander, there would have been no ‘Duck Dynasty.’”
But because one man shared his Christian beliefs with Phil Robertson, a chain reaction was started—one in which the entire Robertson family found Jesus and then, in turn, has spent more than a decade sharing God through entertainment, books, movies and more.
