Phil Robertson
I am unashamed. What about you?
Jase Robertson
Welcome back to the unashamed podcast, Zach. It's. It's been crazy down here. So Lisa and I were in Gulf Shores at our southern lair, and we came home to do podcasts and Lisa's speaking this week up here. And so there was predictions that we were going to have snow yesterday here. And so the kids were already out of school. You know, was it let them out of school? Oh, yeah. But it wasn't because of the snow. They had a teacher in service. But the kids are out there ready. We're right after MLK day. And so they're all excited, getting ready to build their snowman. They've pulled out all their warm clothes and their gloves. And so north Louisiana is going to be, you know, a white January and we get nothing. I mean, not even a flake.
Phil Robertson
Well, hang on. Stop the presses. Where's my button, Maddie? Oh, we don't have the button we need. Look. You know what I'd like to have look at here.
Zach Dasher
The button is back. Thank you. The cricket noise.
Jase Robertson
Thank you, 11 year old son.
Phil Robertson
Hold on. Rim shot. You know what we need is a button that has like a car going from 70 to zero.
Zach Dasher
Like screeching halt.
Jase Robertson
Like a screeching halt.
Phil Robertson
So Maddie, Maddie, find that for us because Al just said not a flight. So. Because I went duck hunting.
Jase Robertson
Okay.
Phil Robertson
Yesterday.
Jase Robertson
Yep.
Phil Robertson
And I took a picture that I will share with our viewers.
Jase Robertson
So there was a flake. You're telling me.
Phil Robertson
Oh, no. Well, let's. I'll have to go back because I took some other pictures.
Jase Robertson
It wasn't a flag at my house because I checked all my.
Phil Robertson
This was at, I think 3:45am As I went to warm up my truck, I took a selfie. Yeah, that's out of my truck.
Jase Robertson
There's about, There's a few flakes. Not enough to cover, but a few.
Zach Dasher
That's called frost. That's not.
Phil Robertson
No, it was actually falling from the sky and it fell for five minutes.
Jase Robertson
That was it.
Phil Robertson
That was it. I would say I have maybe 100 lakes on camera.
Jase Robertson
So I stand corrected. Jay says there was 100 flights. So here's what happened. And that is. And it happens every couple of decades, I guess we'll have this cold, super cold air, polar vortex, whatever you want to call it. It'll come down and we get a little. We get a maybe.
Missy Robertson
What is that?
Jase Robertson
Snow a year snow every other year. Maybe here every other year, but every once in a while it'll come over us. This super cold Air, but there won't be any moisture here. But it gets down south and you'll have some of that Gulf moisture come over the top of that super cold air, and they'll get a little bit of snow.
Zach Dasher
Well, this year, somebody's been watching the weather Channel.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah, I know my stuff says this year it was a blizzard.
Phil Robertson
Blizzard.
Jase Robertson
It was literally a blizzard along the Gulf Coast. So when we left Gulf Shores, they said we might get some snow. And I'm like, yeah, right. And so I'm going where there's going to be snow. We come to West Monroe, we get 100 flags on Jason's truck. In Gulf Shores, where I left because a friend of ours is staying at our house. It's nine inches of snow in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Phil Robertson
We thought that we were fixing to see more ducks than ever before. We're like, it's snowing in the. I guess we got to call it now the Gulf of America.
Jase Robertson
The Gulf of America.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. It's snowing in the Gulf of America. Oh, wow. That makes me think, well, they're like this Trump, he's changing everything. He changed the name. And all of a sudden it. But it's snowing there. There's the sign.
Jase Robertson
The Almighty says, yes, we're going to snow in the Gulf.
Phil Robertson
And the people, they're like, global warming is. It's something, but global warming.
Zach Dasher
But they're ice skating in New Orleans, in the streets. They're literally ice skating on Canal Street. I saw a video of that this morning. I was like, you know, things are cold when they're. When there's ice skating from the packed snow in downtown New Orleans, in the French Quarter, I mean, it's just insane.
Phil Robertson
Well, that did not translate to us. We got. As soon as it got legal shooting hours, a bunch of teal came in. It was only five. Bum, bum, bum, bum. We got four of them. We left one for the next generation, and we never fired another shot.
Jase Robertson
And getting teal early, typically, duck hunting means, oh, it may be on.
Phil Robertson
We had an ice hole. We had a little deep place. I thought, I don't think that's going to freeze. The whole place is iced up. We had a perfect ice hole. Hole made by just nature. Yeah, we didn't make it. It froze up everywhere.
Jase Robertson
Water has been freezing. You put the dog bowl out at night, is solid ice.
Phil Robertson
And then it made me think, well, no wonder we didn't see any, because the ducks usually move south and things like extreme temperatures or snow because it covers up all the crops. But I thought well, why would they come down? Because what's south of us is worse. Is worse. They're not. And so it didn't happen.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Which is craz.
Zach Dasher
Well, they're saying this is one of the coldest January on. On record. I mean this is. I mean even.
Phil Robertson
Well, I got a question. Where are the ducks? They're not here. This is the first time I've ever seen it this cold and snow.
Zach Dasher
They're not there.
Phil Robertson
They're not at our place. And what. And what few ducks we had left.
Jase Robertson
And where did they go? Because this.
Phil Robertson
Where are they at?
Zach Dasher
They're in Mexico.
Phil Robertson
Look, I didn't even go this morning before this podcast. Duck season's open. It's only open for four or five days. I didn't get some stuff because I thought it might be all iced up. And so you're would have been because.
Jase Robertson
It got to teenage. Your teenager. Your last night.
Phil Robertson
Your son in law is hunting.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
And well, look at here. And they went out and it. There was one place that was open that was not frozen. They had not fired a shot until two minutes ago. They shot.
Jase Robertson
So you're. You're doing real time now.
Phil Robertson
Real time.
Zach Dasher
How many did they shoot?
Phil Robertson
Well, they had. I was gonna say they hadn't fired their guns, but they shot two wood ducks.
Zach Dasher
So that's when you feel good about your decision not to go. This morning you're like, it's. It's a gamble, but you've been.
Jase Robertson
No FOMO for you, Jason. Oh, Jace.
Phil Robertson
They should have taken my lead.
Jase Robertson
But it was interesting cause Jace was a couple of minutes late getting there this morning. And so I was like. And he's wearing caps, partial camo. And I said, well, did you hunt this morning? He said, oh no. Missy came home and. And it was a lot of conversation. So she had a lot of catching.
Phil Robertson
Up to Dr. Missy Talk last night. She walked in the door and my wife's not a big talker, right. She talked for. Because I was. I was like planning on preparing a little Bible study prep. She talked for hours. Hours. I've never seen her. I thought. I think this woman missed me.
Zach Dasher
Where did she come from? Where was she at?
Phil Robertson
She was in Nashville. Our.
Jase Robertson
Celebrating a grandchild.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, Our second grandson did the Happy birthday Mary. I told you. I sang a solo to him. But you know, halfway into the song, I think I lost him because he was at their birthday party. You know, there were people all around. I got halfway through. He just like. We were FaceTiming and he's like, okay, I'M out of here.
Jase Robertson
I'm out. Short attention span for the time.
Phil Robertson
Then he went and Missy got him a bunch of outfits. It's like a box that's filled with outfits that we got the little one that we keep from time to time. He got the same box and he's all about the firefighter. So she got him. Well, you know what he picked? Because, I mean, there's a policeman, there's a firefighter, there's a doctor.
Jase Robertson
Was this the Village People?
Phil Robertson
There's a. Well, it may be. There's like an outdoorsman, you know, like a guide. And so. And there's one that's a chef. That's the one he chose. And he cooked for everybody. Imaginary. And she's like, he wants to be a chef. So I thought. And my son.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, I was going to say his dad's a pretty good cook.
Phil Robertson
He is a good cook. And I thought, you know what? We did something right. Yeah. I mean, as far as our cuisine. Because somehow he figured out these people can cook.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. It is kind of interesting, Zach, I mentioned the Village People, that there's been a lot of similarities in Trump's now second term and Reagan second term. They were both inside, you know, because of the cold. There was just some little historical ironies, I guess you could say. But I did laugh because I thought. And Trump brought the Village People back.
Zach Dasher
Well, it's the end of the day. I heard someone say this one time a while back, and I used agree with this statement, then I disagreed with it, and now I agree with it again. And.
Jase Robertson
And so is that flip flopping or gross? Which is. I have.
Zach Dasher
I have flip flop.
Jase Robertson
Okay.
Zach Dasher
I wrongly diagnosed where we were at culturally, you know, with a lot of the, the, the progression of what we went into the last probably eight years. But I. The, this, the phrase was this. It's all about the money. And then I was like, I don't know. I think these, these people, they, they're, they're about the ideology. They don't. Money. But now I'm here to tell you, it's all about the money. Follow the money.
Phil Robertson
I'm giving you an applause because it's very hard for Robertson to ever say I was wrong. And Zach did it.
Jase Robertson
He just did it.
Phil Robertson
Thank you, cousin, because I know that's difficult.
Jase Robertson
We can relate to the. Your Robertson half. That. That was hard to do.
Zach Dasher
Well, you know what Willie says? He said, no, you're not. You're half Robertson. Come a Dasher. My last name is Dasher. And he's A, you're half Robertson. I'm like, well, you're actually a half Robertson too.
Jase Robertson
Well, that's what Gimber said. He said, we're all half Robertson's. I was like, he's right. I don't have an answer for that.
Phil Robertson
No, I've never thought about it.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, we're all has because you and I. J's are half caraway. Which is interesting because mom, speaking of word, a lot of words. I went down the other day and she was just. She went into the. Because I had an old picture. It was really interesting because it's. It's my grandmother and she's got five of her kids with her and Sigh is a baby and she's holding Sigh on her lap. So this thing was taken in 1948 or nine, probably. And dad is just a little toddler. He's about the size of Dave. He looks like he's between two and three in the picture. And so I took it out there to show it to him because a guy, one of our distant cousin in laws or somebody from Arkansas sent it to me. Just. It came here. And I'm so glad it wound up in my hands. And because dad looks just like me. There's not many eras where dad and I look a lot like. Except when we were three years old. I mean, in fact, it looked just like the pictures of me at that age. And so I was showing it to them. Well, that began. Mom, dad was really interested because with what he's struggling with, he does really well going back and telling the old story.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And so we talked about it. Quite a bit of it. But then mom goes back, her family's from Bro Bridge, and she went down and saw him because we have a Cajun influence on our other half, which may explain why we like the food and all that so much. I don't know.
Phil Robertson
Maybe so. I don't know. But. So then during the night, I was awakened and Missy was talking in her sleep. I've never heard her talk in her sleep. And then this morning, because I get.
Jase Robertson
Up early, so literally she's still talking.
Phil Robertson
I thought, she's still talking. And I just rolled over. And then this morning she got out and she was talking more. I was like, boy, I tell you, babe, I'm glad we've gotten caught up. And so I was actually two minutes late because I just hated to interrupt and say, babe, I gotta go.
Jase Robertson
Especially when she was on such a roll.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, it was funny.
Jase Robertson
All right, so we need to take a break. We got a guest coming on we're super excited about she's been on the podcast before, so we're going to welcome her back. We'll do that on the other side of this break.
Missy Robertson
Jace I think it's safe to say.
Jase Robertson
That our family has been in the pro life movement for a long, long time. I mean, it's been a big part of who we are. I think it's because we recognize new life in Christ. So by nature, we're going to be fighting for babies that hadn't been born yet.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. And it is one of the foundational principles of the Bible. It's about life.
Missy Robertson
So the current movement has changed a lot because of the abortion pill, which has made it easier, unfortunately, for abortions to happen. But the good news is there is some good news. And our friends at Preborn tell us about it is there's the abortion pill reversal treatment, because a lot of women will take this abortion pill and then start having second thoughts and think, well.
Jase Robertson
There'S no, there's no opportunity to do better.
Missy Robertson
But there is. And preborn ministry is part of that empowerment that helps women reverse this curse, which we love. Preborn's network of clinics are on standby for women in their darkest hour, and they meet them with God's love, with free services to help them choose life. Through ultrasound and the abortion pill reversal protocol, Preborn has rescued over 300,000 babies. Start the new year right by supporting life and supporting preborn. One ultrasound is just $28, and $140 will help rescue five babies. So we're asking you to help us out. Dial £250 and say the keyword baby, that's £250 baby. Or donate securely@preborn.com unashamed that's preborn.com unashamed.
Jase Robertson
Foreign welcome back to Unashamed. We're super excited. Sarah Gable Seifert is back on our podcast. Sarah Gable, welcome back to Unashamed.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here.
Jase Robertson
So we had your husband Mike alone before you. He told us about Public Square. Then we had you on talk about Every Life. And we're going to talk more about that in a little bit. But how are you guys doing? How's Michael doing? How is 2025 working for you guys?
Sarah Gable Seifert
Thanks for asking. Family's doing wonderful. The business is doing exceptional. I'm so excited for 2025. It's a new year and it feels like our country is stepping into a new season. We obviously just experienced the inauguration, which I'm sure we're going to talk a little bit about on the show today. But in regards to every life, we're just growing and we're scaling and we're impacting more families and our reach. And we have new products now. And so we're really turning into a baby brand that is all about celebrating every miraculous life. No other diaper company will say the same. Can you believe that? It's still wild to me to say that out loud, that baby brands are not supporting every single precious life designed and orchestrated by God. And I'm just so thankful that we're a solution to parents that are so passionate about shopping their values and supporting the things that matter most, which is family. And so I'm really looking forward to this new year.
Phil Robertson
And so you probably didn't know this, but I am going to give you a real life testimony because we're keeping a little one that we view as kind of dropped from the heavens.
Jase Robertson
It was kind of a foster situation. But uniquely Jason misses and we're helping.
Phil Robertson
The mom and we're, we're kind of like the grandparents role in some way. But anyway, we just got, because he's fixing to be three and we're going through the potty training transition and we just got my, my wife ordered probably way more than she needed because I know we're partners with y'all of the pull ups. And look, when I told her that you were coming on today and she's been talking a lot, she's been in Nashville, we actually talked about that in our first section. And I thought she really missed me. She's talking boy. And I said, well, what do you want me to tell her about the pull ups? Give me the news, good or bad, if we need to make some changes. She said they're awesome. And she gave about seven qualities that I can't remember off the top of my head. But they're great. They're sturdy, they're comfortable, they're easy to work with. So I was like, well, well, fantastic. I'm going to bring that up. So thank you.
Sarah Gable Seifert
That's awesome.
Phil Robertson
Thank you for making a quality product for a greater quality issue in our world.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Well, you're very welcome. And I'm really grateful to be partnered with your family. And it warms my heart to hear that it's working, it's performing, it's doing the job. And to your point, you know, we have the excellent product, but more than that, you know, we're really about supporting the pro life movement and helping parents choose life for their babies. And that's what it's all about. So thank you for being on the journey with us.
Jase Robertson
Diapers are important at every phase of the operation. But it's been a few years for me since my grandkids were small enough to be in diapers. But I will say, Jace, that the pull up era, when they're on the move, the structure of the product is even more important to work properly. Otherwise we can leave some messes around the house.
Phil Robertson
Well, I'll be honest, my role in that has been. Okay, bud, you got to keep this on the whole night here, you know, that's a different story.
Jase Robertson
They like to be free.
Phil Robertson
Well, yeah, he was like, no, I've made the transition. You know, I'm like, no, let us, let us decide when that transition is made.
Jase Robertson
So Sergey will ask something before we came on air, and I want you to answer because we said we were going to save it. Because she said, you said, well, we're in duck season here. And Sergey was telling what you asked. Say that again.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Well, I was curious, you know, what does that look like for your family?
Phil Robertson
And I said, it's a pretty big question.
Jase Robertson
It was a big question because Jace's eyes, there was a bit of a sparkle and a bit of a glaze.
Phil Robertson
That she was like, it's a new year. What's that? You know, I know it's all busy. And I was like, well, you know, it's duck season. And you were like, oh, really? What's that look like for you and your family? Yeah, I said, I think we're gonna have to save that. I can't answer that in 10 words or less because you'll this fascinating.
Jase Robertson
You can't do anything in 10 words or less.
Phil Robertson
So that's probably true. You'll find this fascinating. So, like, my story's been well documented. You know, my dad, he has two master's degrees, he has the skill level to be an NFL quarterback, but he turns all that down and mainly because his life was just a wreck. And he, he comes to the Lord, has this huge transformation and he decides that he's just going to go out, live out in the middle of nowhere and be a better dad, a better husband, better Christian, better. Yeah, godly man, and just live off the land. And he's like, I'm going to make a living building duck calls and fishing the river. And so part of that building the duck calls was we hunted every day of the duck season. And he was like, we're testing our products. And somewhere in that at 8 years old when he started taking us hunting, I just found a peace with the outdoors. And I guess, you know, their lives have been transformed. Well, I've hunted most of the days of every duck season, including when I went to school, he would allow me to use my sick days, and he said, tell them it's duck fever. Which I did. And he said, as long as you make good grades. He's like, if they give you those.
Jase Robertson
Sick days, got to get your word done.
Phil Robertson
He's like, no, that makes you go every other time when you just have a little cold. So I did that. And so what happened during the process is I've noticed that every year I will work really hard for nine months, but there's a three month period of life that I feel like I need to be reborn. You get where I'm going here. Nine months, three months. I clear my schedule and I hunt almost every day of the duck season. I always have. And I don't use it just for good cuisine with the ducks. But, you know, we train young men how to be great men for the Lord in the duck blind setting, having conversations and all that. But I've always done that since I was 8 years old. And so when you said it was hard to explain that, I was like, our whole life stops in a way, and we have this part of our life that we continue the tradition, but.
Jase Robertson
We also figured out how to do ministry in something we love to do. Which brings me back to you, Sarah Gaba, because I want you to. You said this the last time you were on the podcast, but I want you to remind our audience of what got you into this space that you're in with every life and everything you're doing. Tell a little bit about that from when you started in California and kind of your experience as a. As a PRC director and everything that kind of got you here.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Yeah, absolutely. I actually have to start with sharing about a dream that God gave me in the night with this issue around abortion. And at the time, it was 2019, and it wasn't something that I was thinking about day in and day out. But after that dream, I quite literally woke up and said, God's trying to show me something, and I need to listen, I need to pray, and I need to respond. And so I went through a journey with my husband Michael, just really being intentional with asking the right questions, evaluating where God wanted me to go for such a time as this. And it led me into being a part of an incredible pregnancy resource center. And I got to meet with hundreds of vulnerable women that were going to choose abortion. And I got to sit with them, listen to their stories, listen to their concerns, really ask the right questions, be very prayerful in the conversations, let them see their child, their life growing in their womb on an ultrasound machine and seeing these light bulb moments go off for them. And it was the most humbling, incredible journey of a lifetime. Watching these women over and over again go from I'm choosing abortion to actually, I'm going to choose life. And I'm excited about being a mother because I know that there's an assignment for me and my life to be a mom. And I can't even tell you how many lives I saw saved. Not only the baby in the womb, but the mom's life being saved because they realized they had a God that wanted to be there for them, to love them, to protect them, to walk with them through this journey so they're not alone. And I'm just so thankful for that time because it really inspires, inspired me to see the need that was so great for these women to have the practical essentials that they need to be supported, to walk into motherhood. And that's really what led us into every life because we started to realize that every major diaper company on the market today is supporting abortion, either vocally or financially. And I'll call them out because it's true. It's Huggies, it's Pampers, it's hello Bellow, it's honest, it's coterie, every single one of them. And I was stepping into motherhood at the time as well. And I couldn't put my hard earned money toward a company that didn't support my own child's life. And so my husband and I, we just felt so obligated and a duty to come up with a solution for parents. And we launched back in July of 2023. So we're only 18 months old, but we're now the fastest growing diaper company in America today. And I think it really shows. There are a lot of families out there that care about supporting life and putting their dollars to places that actually support their values. And I'm really thankful for that.
Jase Robertson

Phil Robertson
That's awesome. I was telling Al before you came on, I was watching because it's duck season and my wife calls it the ordeal because you don't. The sleep is a problem. And us doing podcasts, it's just crazy. And she's been in Nashville and so we're talking and I was trying to get caught up on the inauguration because I was like, what happened? Because everybody was talking about, boy, this first day was a doozy.
Jase Robertson
Oh yeah.
Phil Robertson
And so she walked out of the room and I just thought, I wonder what other news channels are talking about? Because I had it on Fox and they were, it was just kind of a celebration type moment. And the first one I went to, they weren't even talking about the inauguration. They were honoring the life. Evidently the CEO of Planned Parenthood had died and they were doing this tribute and I thought, is this where we're at in light, you know, where you don't, you're not excited about. I get it. We're all political and we're a divided country and all this. But I thought, really, this is what we're going to celebrate, you know, today. And I just, it just something, something in that moment I thought, boy, there's, there's work for us to do about what you're doing about Making every life matter. And so how do you see that.
Jase Robertson
Sergey, in terms of. Obviously, and I want to hear. Because you're in D.C. now, you're actually on the show in D. So I want to hear about your experiences at the inauguration before we talk about California. But you. You have a unique seat in this current battle that we have in the life issue. At least I do as well, because we're very active and engaged. So what does that look like, do you think? In this. In this coming four years with Trump, there's been some talk about trying to get Planned Parenthood defunded as well. I know a lot of the groups are really trying to push that which will have to come through Congress. But so how do you see that? Because, like Jay said, I mean, here we are, the inauguration, a new administration, and yet you still see the old battle lines are still there.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. The fight for life is not even close to being over. And I'm so thankful that we have an administration stepping in that is more pro life and pro family. And, man, I even think about. I kind of want to talk about the inauguration for a second because it goes kind of hand in hand to your question. But while the other side of the aisle is, you know, talking about the things that are, to be honest, not what we need to be focused on, especially on the day when we're swearing in a new president, it's heartbreaking to hear that that was their focus. But you look at what actually happened that day, I'm telling you, that inauguration ceremony was so beautiful, so moving, so powerful, and God was glorified. I'm not sure if y'all are familiar with Pastor Lorenzo. He was actually there, One of the.
Jase Robertson
Pastors he wanted from Detroit.
Sarah Gable Seifert
He's. Yeah, I believe.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. Yeah, he's fantastic.
Sarah Gable Seifert
President Trump actually visited his church, build a connection, and he said, if I. If I win this election, I want you to be there on that day. And he was true to his word and the prayer. I really would encourage all of your listeners to go and listen to the way that he prayed for the president, our country, our nation. And again, just how God was recognized, that we need him, that we need his wisdom. I was so encouraged to see that on such an important day with millions of people watching, to see God be the center. I was so encouraged. And then I'll also mention second Lady Usha Vance was there with her three kids, and I loved that picture of just a family unit there on such. She could have easily said, it's too stressful to have my three young kids there on the stage. But what did she do? She said, no, I want to have my kids there, because I know being a mother is the most important role that I can play in this season. Beyond anything else. We know that being a parent is the highest calling. And yet she brought her kids up there. And I just think it represents the time that we're stepping into, which is all about building strong families, because we know we can't have a strong nation if we don't have strong families. And I'm just excited to see an administration, new leadership that's taking that seriously. And I think we're going to see an impact across the nation, from policy to culture, in regards to this fight for life that is not over yet. And I'm encouraged because I think we're just getting started.
Jase Robertson
I did hear that prayer last night, of course, Replay, and it was incredible. It was just so earnest and real and yet inspiring in a prayer shows you what prayers can do. And by the way, the Bible is full of prayers like that. I mean, they're everywhere in the Bible. And what was interesting was, so in the show I was watching, they played the prayer, and then they had the pastor on their show. And so they were asking about it, of course, you know how news shows go. They said, well, you know, one of the commentators from one of the other networks said this, and then they put a post up that someone had said about his prayer. And it was just. It was so bad. I mean, it was like they compared him to having an old minstrel show, they called it. You know, that was what they compared this man pouring his heart out in a prayer. But the reason I say it, I hate to even give, you know, tell about it because it was so bad. But I loved his reaction because he smiled and they were like, well, how do you react to that? He said, well, he said, you know, I'm praying for the president. I'm praying that you heard my prayer, you've heard my heart, and I'm going to pray for this person, too, he said, because obviously they need to know the same Lord. He just went right into his thing. He didn't say anything ugly. And I thought, man, that's the approach. I mean, the approach is we elevate. You know, you don't have to get into the slime pit with these people. We're just saying we elevate to something greater or better. So it was inspiring, for sure.
Phil Robertson
Was that your first time to be at an inauguration?
Sarah Gable Seifert
It was. And, man, I got to tell You. It was something that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life. And so I don't take lightly being able to be a part of such an incredible experience. And I, again, I'm really hopeful and I'm excited for where we're going as a country. I also thought it was really amazing to see the executive orders, even that President Trump was putting in place day one, that there's two genders, male, female. Right. I mean, the amount of applause and celebration that came with a simple statement. Who would have thought we'd even have to be saying that from the stage at inauguration? But that's seriously what's at stake. We have people very confused about simple biblical truths that God created man and he created woman, and they were meant to be one, and we are called to be fruitful and to multiply. And so I'm just really excited that we're bringing back common sense, we're bringing back biblical truths. And again, I just think we're going to start to see the ripple effect when it's at the highest office, the highest position, and those are the things we're seeing, and those are the executive orders that are being put in place. You know, that that's going to have an impact on culture and society, and I'm very thankful for that.
Jase Robertson
So you were at the Capital One center when they did the live stuff that day. Were you inside there and watching that? That part of it?
Sarah Gable Seifert
Yep. Yep. So my husband and I, Michael, we were inside of the Capital One Arena.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Sarah Gable Seifert
And it was. It the. I can't even tell you that. The vibe was so electric. I mean, everyone was just so excited and full of patriotism and honor and just proud to be an American. I think that's the best way to say it. I think everyone just felt this complete pride to be an American, to be here for such a time as this. And I just. I leave that time almost wishing I could go back and relive it again, because I got emotional, to be honest. I got emotional thinking about, man, this could have looked a lot different on this day. It really could have. And I'm just so thankful. We are where we are, and we are getting to praise God and we're getting to kind of set a new trajectory for our country.
Jase Robertson
I loved Sergei with the way that he. It was a. It was such a public, inviting situation, because usually when executive orders are signed in the past, even when. When President Trump did the first go around, it's in the Oval Office, and, you know, there's a few Reporters there, but. And then, you know, you sign with the different pins, and they'll give those to people that, you know, dignitaries and this type thing. And this was so different because it was almost like. Because this. There was an arena with 20,000 plus people in it. It was like, this is for you guys, this is for America. You know, we're doing this for you. And he's signing, and the guys tell him what they're for, and people are cheering. And me just watching it, I was like, I. Who's ever seen anything like this? Then he starts throwing the pins to the crowd. It's like, forget about the important dignitaries and all the people up here. These pins are for you. You know, you're the ones that. It matters. I don't know, I just. I felt like. I mean, part of it is, obviously, Trump is an amazing showman in the sense that he knows, you know, what engages people, but the other part is I just feel like it's such a thing for people to be able to be a part of and engaged, and that. That was what came through to me just watching it. So I was really curious if you felt that in the arena, because it was amazing.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Oh, absolutely. I mean, he's a man for the people. And that's why I think so many people love and admire him, because he does have a way in which he invites people in. And I think Americans really do feel like they're being heard, their voices are being heard. He's responding to the cries of Americans, we want safety back in our country. We want families being built. We want very simple things like costs going down. He's hitting on the topics that matter most to every single day, Americans. And he's resonating. That's why he won. The people responded. And I'm just really thankful. Even on that day, him throwing the pins out and engaging with the audience again, it makes people feel like I'm a part of this, too. I'm not just a passive person sitting in the crowd. I actually am engaged with what's happening in our country, and we need that, because if we have passive Americans that aren't listening, that aren't responding, that aren't engaged, that's a problem. And so I'm thankful that I think he's really igniting people, motivating people to realize they have a seat at the table and their voice matters, and we need that in America.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no doubt. It's so good. So I want to shift gears, because one of the reasons we want you to come on today was to Tell about your. You and Mike are both. Are you from California or you just live there?
Sarah Gable Seifert
Well, you know, we actually live in Florida now, but.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, I knew that. You moved.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Yeah, yeah, we moved it to Florida. Free state of Florida. We love it. And we were in California, though, for seven years. And that's actually. Actually where we started Public Square, which is the parent company to EveryLife. And so. So we have a heart for. For that state. And we're really thankful that we got to have that time there because it was needed, right. The Public Square mission and being able to help and serve a place that. That just again, really needed a solution like Public Square, and even launching every life there. It was really important. So we're. We're in West Palm beach now.
Jase Robertson
It reminded me my dad always used to say when we were growing up and it was so. And dad would say things, and at the time, we didn't really understand it, but he always used to tell us, jason, do you remember this? He'd say, everything good and bad comes from California.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. I never knew what he meant.
Jase Robertson
I didn't either.
Phil Robertson
He would say that. He said, boys, always remember this. All good and all bad started in California.
Jase Robertson
That's what he said. Then it sweeps the nation.
Phil Robertson
I know he didn't read that in the Bible, so he read a book somewhere, but I always found that weird.
Jase Robertson
But it's true. I mean, so much you think about innovation, but you also think about things that aren't so good. So you guys were in California, which I wanted to transition because obviously we just had these wildfires there, which just devastated so much property, people's lives, everything there. It's been a terrible tragedy, and I know the political side of it, and a lot of blame was going around, but ultimately, someone has to be able to help people. And it's usually Kingdom people that help other people. And so you. You began something that we are a part of as well. So I want you to tell our audience about that and what you guys are trying to do out there.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Yeah, absolutely. And you're spot on. So goes California, so goes the world.
Jase Robertson
That's right.
Sarah Gable Seifert
That's what we've always said, and it's absolutely true. But I'm really thankful at every life. We're a company that wants to respond to crisis situations. That's how we've been from day one. And it's really the reason why we exist is to be a solution. And I even back up to when the Maui wildfires happened, and then even the hurricane Helene and Milton, our response There we rallied up our community of generous participants and we did an initiative, even in those two examples, to be able to provide the essentials, diapers and wipes to families who are in urgent need. Helene and Milton, we were able to give over a million diapers to those families. And there's still being products being passed out in those areas because the need is still so great. And now here we are with the wildfires. And again, our team's response was, okay, what can we do to serve? How can we help? What partners can we come around to ensure that we're getting our products into the hands of the people who've lost everything? Can you imagine being that parent with their child and not having a diaper or a wipe to put on your baby? I just, I can't even fathom. So what we did was we came around side you guys, which I'm so thankful for. Our partnership, La Dream Center City Serve, Convoy of Hope. And we started to use our Buy for a Cause program on our website. And every single bundle, which is a whole month's supply of diapers and wipes, are being sent to these locations so they can distribute them to the families in need. We've been running this campaign for a few weeks now and we've already had the opportunity of donating, donating over 414,000 diapers and over 395,000 wipes. And we're not done yet. We're going to keep going because we know that, that these partners are telling us again, the need is so great and we're thankful that we can come in and help even in the smallest way.
Jase Robertson
So tell our audience where, where they can go because just to, just to remind folks what Sarah Gabel is mentioning, Jason and Missy do this. Lisa and I do this. There's a lot of people that get our age. We don't have kids anymore. And even our grandkids, Jason's grandkids are still little, but my grandkids are older. We don't have a need for this in our own personal household, but we want to be a part of this for other people. And so we buy diapers, we give to our PRCs, we give to our church and have availability. And so there's a way to do this to help other people. So you guys do this all the time. You do it. Well, the fact that as you described that it's a pro life company where the customers are life, you know, life is brought into that. It didn't make any sense what the other guys are doing. But tell Folks where they can go to get information about this, whether to be a part of that or also to help out with this thing you guys are doing or we're doing in California.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Absolutely. So to help with some of the diaper needs for the wildfires in California, head to everylife.com buyforacause again, if you just purchase a $50 bundle of diapers and wipes, we'll be sure to send those with our partnered organization so they can distribute those on the ground to the families in need. Also, just head to everylife.com and learn more about our mission, why we exist. We have incredible subscription services where you can get our products shipped to your doorstep every single month. We're so much more though than a diapers and wipes company. I've already said that. But the biggest reason we exist is so we can help these families that really need them. And we've already donated in total since we started over 3 million diapers, mostly to pregnancy resource centers facing urgent needs so they could give it to a mom who has embrace life for their baby. I mentioned my experience in the pregnancy center. I know because I've talked to these women that actually a box of diapers can be the difference between life or death for that unborn baby. I'm telling you, so many reasons why a woman's going to choose an abortion is simply because she doesn't feel like she has the support, the help, the practical essentials to be able to move forward. And so I'm just really thankful that we get to help in that way, that our community gets to serve in that way. So we invite you to be a part of our mission where we're not only changing diapers, we're really changing lives.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, I love it. And you guys, we partner with you guys, Lisa and I did last year every event we spoke at because we do a lot of PRCs ourselves. And you guys graciously donated some diapers to all of those centers and then they picked a person that would get a year supply of diapers as well. And so a lot of those were presented the night we were there. Sergey one Just to let you know that I got to see their faces when they, when they realized that they were going to get a year's worth of diapers and wipes and just tears, joy, the things they experience. I mean, that's what you guys are about. I mean, you're right, it's life, but it's also the life of that mom, that situation. And we're talking about walking alongside them which is really, really powerful. So thank you for what you do and thank you for letting us be a part of it, because we love it. We talk about life a lot, lot on this podcast, so.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Well, I, I appreciate it and thank you for being such proponents for life. We, we need it. We need more influencers and people like you guys that are unashamed in their values. And so thank you for partnering with us and being on this journey.
Jase Robertson
Well, give our best to Michael and what he's doing with Public Square. We love that as well. And, man, thank you for you guys for what you do in the ministry every single day. And we just feel like we're all out there doing. Everybody's in their lane doing their thing. But it's nice when we can cross paths from time to time.
Sarah Gable Seifert
Amen. Thank you so much.
