“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson is unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since giving his life completely over to Christ at the age of 28, the now 78-year-old has rarely missed an opportunity to share the Good News with those around him.
That remained true, even as the “Duck Commander” and his family, gained famed and notoriety through their successful A&E show.
Recently, his son, Jase Robertson recalled the time Phil shared the gospel with Donald Trump in 2016 and even predicted the assassination attempt that would take place eight years later.

“He’s like, ‘Hey you are not getting any younger…there’s people after you. He was like, ‘Somebody will try to kill you,'” he recounted, adding, “it is actually really profound when I think about that.”
Jase and his brother, Al Robertson, shared that story on Allie Beth Stuckey’s podcast, “Unrelatable,” when they came on to give an update on the health of their dad after his recent diagnosis.
An Update on Phil Robertson’s Health
As CBN News reported, Robertson is currently battling a form of Alzheimer’s disease, for which his team of doctors says there is no cure.
Jase announced the diagnosis recently on the “Unashamed with the Robertson Family” podcast.
“Phil’s not doing well. I think I spoke on the 1,000th podcast, we were trying to figure out the diagnosis, but according to the doctors, he has some sort of blood disease causing all kinds of problems,” he said at that time.
“It’s like accelerated, and it’s causing problems with his entire body. And he has the early stages of Alzheimer’s. So, if you put those things together, he’s really not doing well. He’s struggling,” Jase said.
“Basically, the diagnosis that was given to us is he has some kind of blood disorder and they likened it to blood cancer where it kind of attacks his bones,” Jase described.
He continued, “So he’s had multiple back fractures and even one on in his tailbone and so he’ll have to go do these procedures because they’re not really correctable. They just do a procedure that makes it stop hurting, which is from my understanding…they’re basically just putting cement in his back but your back is not designed to have cement…it’s supposed to be flexible.”
