“Especially in marriage … trying not to take, you know? … I got to… give more than I’m putting in. And there’s times where you’re obviously going to need to take… but that’s kind of a mindset I’ve always had.”

‘DUCK DYNASTY’ STAR WILLIE ROBERTSON SHARES FATHER PHIL’S TOUCHING FINAL WORDS BEFORE HIS DEATH AT 79
While “Duck Dynasty: The Revival” brought fans back to West Monroe, Louisiana, the new series leaned deeper into the Robertson family’s faith and legacy. The Robertsons told Fox News Digital that the original series, “Duck Dynasty,” would never have happened without family patriarch, Phil Robertson.
Korie said they hoped future generations would be inspired by Phil’s dedication to his faith and how it transformed his life.

“Just in passing down that legacy — one of the things that we’ve just been reminded of over and over again is just this man who lived down on the river, didn’t own a cell phone or a computer — what God did with his life. Because he was just truly passionately sold out for Jesus,” she said.

Korie continued, “And so, I think for all of us, it’s brought even more of a boldness to our faith to say like, ‘Hey, we follow Jesus, and that’s who we are.’ And if you want to know more about it, come talk to us because it’s brought a full life.”
“And a changed life,” Willie added. “There would never have been a ‘Duck Dynasty’ show. There wouldn’t have been company had his life not changed. This family would not have stayed together.”
