unspecified blood condition, according to his son, Jase Robertson.<\/p>\n
Jase shared that his father has been \u201dreally struggling\u201d and expressed <\/p>\n
hope for a \u201dsupernatural intervention\u201d to help him through this difficult time.<\/p>\n
We love Duck Dynasty for its laugh-out-loud moments, family values, and the<\/p>\n
Robertson clan\u2019s relatable, no-nonsense charm. But over the years, the family<\/p>\n
has faced some tough health challenges. Uncle Si recently had lung surgery and<\/p>\n
Jase Robertson\u2019s daughter, Mia, has also been incredibly brave, undergoing<\/p>\n
multiple surgeries for her cleft condition. Through it all, the Robertson <\/p>\n
family has shown strength and faith, reminding us why we love them so much.<\/p>\n
But now, the Robertson family may now be facing their toughest challenge yet.<\/p>\n
On the December 6 episode of the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast, Jase Robertson shared the heartbreaking news about his father Phil\u2019s health struggles.<\/p>\n
\u201cPhil\u2019s not doing well,\u201d Jase revealed. \u201dI think I mentioned on the 1,000th podcast that we were trying to figure out the diagnosis. According to the doctors, he has some sort of blood disease causing all kinds of problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his condition, Phil joined the family for a duck hunt just 10 days earlier, but it wasn\u2019t the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut my dad did not fire his weapon, nor did he say much,\u201d Jase shared, his voice heavy with emotion. His father admitted to feeling \u201cmiserable\u201d during the outing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he\u2019s unable to go duck hunting, that pretty much tells you all you need to know,\u201d Jase added, underscoring how much the activity has always meant to his father.<\/p>\n
Doctors remain hopeful about slowing the progression of Phil\u2019s memory loss, Jase said, but the signs of decline are unmistakable.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also been losing weight despite maintaining a good appetite.<\/p>\n
Phil, 78, has been an integral part of the Unashamed podcast, but as his health declined, he became \u201cunable to sit down and have a conversation,\u201d Jase revealed.<\/p>\n
Before Phil Robertson became the beloved patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, he built Duck Commander from the ground up, transforming his love for hunting into a thriving multi-million-dollar business. Established in 1972, Duck Commander started as a small business built around a revolutionary duck call Phil invented, known as the Duck Commander call. Designed to perfectly mimic the sound of a real duck, it quickly became a game-changer in the hunting world.<\/p>\n
Phil Robertson faced some controversy during his time on Duck Dynasty after making comments in an interview that sparked backlash, leading to a temporary suspension by the network.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe ones who attacked me, I didn\u2019t hold it against them,\u201d Robertson told Fox News Digital at the time. \u201dThey asked me about a particular sin, homosexual behavior, and whether I believed it was a sin. I thought to myself, that\u2019s a strange question to ask someone, but I just quoted a verse\u2026 I quoted what had to say about that sin, along with nine others, and it was in the list of sins. As we were doing Duck Dynasty, the higher-ups at A&E decided to drop the axe on me without first looking into what actually happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
The incident sparked a widespread debate among his supporters about free speech and censorship. Later, he addressed themes of faith and resilience in his book Uncanceled, where he shared insights on how to navigate cancel culture through the lens of.<\/p>\n
Outside of TV fame, Phil has penned books, shared his powerful testimony across the globe, and touched countless lives with his unfiltered wisdom and unwavering faith. In 2023, his remarkable journey was captured in The Blind, a film that chronicled his transformation from a troubled young man to a devoted family leader and spiritual icon.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad is the most unashamed person I\u2019ve ever known,\u201d Phil\u2019s son Al said, reflecting on his father\u2019s impact. \u201cAnd he\u2019s now passed that legacy onto us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
