About this Episode

Al kicks things off with a rock-and-roll mystery—was it Pat Benatar or Joan Jett who once snubbed the Robertsons on their tour bus? Jase follows it up with a story of how one bold comment may have permanently ended his shot at golfing with Masters champion Bubba Watson. Zach shares a sweet family milestone that has everyone feeling sentimental and grateful. The guys reflect on the crown of thorns from John 19, exploring how something meant for mockery became the ultimate symbol of mercy, kingship, and redemption.
