For years, millions of Americans welcomed the Robertson family into their homes through the phenomenon that was Duck Dynasty. But for Jep and Jess Robertson, the story didn't end when the cameras stopped rolling.

Now, they're stepping into an entirely new season—and they're putting faith, family and trusting God at the center of it all.

Jep and Jess join Erick for a revealing and deeply personal Stakscast conversation about their new Great American Pure Flix series, Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou, which follows their family's leap from Louisiana to Texas and the new adventure God has placed before them.

But this conversation goes far beyond television.
