i am constantly asked about my life:
-What is like being a teenager and everyone knowing
who you are?
-Is it hard to go to school?
-What is it like having cameras documenting your
life?
-Do you love it?
-Do you hate it?
-Do these questions get on your nerves?
-Is Si really that crazy?
-Do you like Bumbleetuna?
-How does it all affect your Christian life?
-How do you stay focused with all the distractions?
-Do you really act like you do on tv?
To answer a few of these right now. The DD(Duck
Dynasty) is not a documentary. It is a very small window into the crazy,
ever-changing, but consistently exciting life that my family lives that is not
unlike a lot of families. Hopefully this blog will allow you to look into that
window. It will be funny, sad, adventurous, shallow, deep, spiritual, exciting,
out-of-the-ordinary, yet very ordinary because life is all of those things.
Some of you reading this are going be relieved at what you see, some will be
inspired, some will be challenged, and some will just be mad. i would say
sorry, but i am not sorry enough to change so it probably wouldn't do any good.
Sorry about that.
i am young and beardless in a large family of men
with beards. There are some high standards (though not what you would think)
but we will get to that later. The Robertson's grew up hunting, fishing, and
working to live. My grandparents, parents, aunt, and uncles put a lot of time
and work into building what you see. i didn't do anything. i just was born into
what is now the Dynasty over Ducks that we have now. So the question that i ask
myself very often is
WHAT IN THE WORLD DO i DO WITH IT?
i am growing up so differently then the Bearded Robertson's did! i am Young and Beardless so how do i live like a Robertson? That is what i am going to write about. A lot of people also say they want to be in my family so i will do the best i can to tell my journey to being a Robertson and what i am learning along the way. You can decide for yourselves if you want to learn too.

Because i have to start the story somewhere to get you caught up, i will
start at the beginning of this summer at our family beach trip so be ready
that!
love you
ReplyDeleteI like that you're doing this John Luke!! Can't wait to read your blog and learn what it's like to be a Robertson ��
ReplyDeleteI have read your uncles book (Jase)... Let us just say it ws quite the eye opener into the world of Robertson.... I am happy to know about this blog, now I may get not only a perspective of the adults but the children as well....
ReplyDeleteI will say it now, you, your siblings, and cousins.... are amazing!

ReplyDeleteNice I've always wanted to know what the Robertson teens were like...be fun to have friends like them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments! i am excited to write this so i am glad you are excited to read it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to read your blog! Ive always been curious to know how your walk with God has changed (or if it has) since DD has become so successful. And whether or not you end up answering that or similar questions on this blog, still looking forward to reading it! Good luck (:
ReplyDeleteEvery post will be about what i learn along the way. It has changed my walk with God. You will see how in future posts!
DeleteI'm so glad you tweeted this so now I can read it! I hope this is 1 of the 10 things you do that works! I'm praying for you and your family(: @sarahstakes
ReplyDeleteJohn Luke, I'm proud of you taking this step. "To whom much is given, much is expected" - Jesus in Luke 12:48 --- That said, be faithful with the small things my friend. I enjoy the show and your family. I also come from a crazy family in Shreveport, so I really relate. I even have a crazy uncle that's hilarious!! Although, he lives in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteKeep your knees on the ground, and your nose in THE Book!
Grace and Peace,
Chris Landry
Huge fan of you and your family! Love what you guys do and the message you give your audience. I'm a blogger as well and I'm excited to become one your readers. Congrats + good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love y'alls show, values, and godly lifestyles that you allow America to witness. I look forward to your posts! :)

I think that this is a great idea. In life you take the wrong turn and make bad decisions but what matters is what you learn from it. I think this is a great way for you to show your perspective towards your life right now, including the show, and family.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to have you join the blogging family! Although you're not a writer, you're choosing to share your story in your own way, and that's commendable for sure! Can't wait to follow along on this blogging journey of yours. It's so much fun!

I'm very excited to follow your blog good luck
ReplyDeleteGlad to see God has called you to put your personal story out there, can't wait to see what you have to say! Good luck(:
ReplyDeleteHi! My family and I are huge fans of Duck Dynasty and it is awesome to be able to see your side of the story. Looking forward to reading (and learning from) your blog! Great first post, can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteYou should make a YouTube channel and vlog your day!
ReplyDeleteI think its a great idea for young people to blog..I don't blog much anymore, but it has been a blessing to read back through my struggles and victories..and to see that even when things were the worst for me that there was a plan in store, I just needed to keep the faith..
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, Happy Blogging! I hope you keep it up. :)
John Luke, I am so glad you are starting this blog. I am a huge fan of not only your show but your family. You guys are so amazing with your personality and faith. I will definitely follow this blog and can't wait to hear your point of view! My twitter and instagram are @jonathanbaumler (sorry I had to throw that out there for you to tweet at or follow I'm just a huge huge fan)!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to hear what we see unfold on national television from your perspective. I can't wait to see where God leads you with this opprotunity!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly amazing, John Luke! I love how real you are about this! You are showing people that just because you are on a hit TV series, you are an individual who is kind enough to share his journey as a Robertson with us, your writing isn't perfect (don't worry, mine isn't perfect either), which in my opinion makes everything you say more real! Thank you, I look forward to reading!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool idea! i am stoked that you are doing this! i have loved watching duck dynasty! it is a clean funny show that families of all ages can watch and enjoy! i recently finished the 3 books (have yet to buy Jase's) and was sad because i wanted to know more. i really enjoyed reading about the history that lead your family to where they are now and i wanted to read more to learn more. so finding out that you are doing this makes me very exited to get another perspective from another person. thank you so much for reaching out to the public to give us a look at how your family is growing. i am eager to read more about how your family's crazy fun spiritual learning journey grows. thank you so much John Luke! may God bless you and family!
ReplyDeleteoh and be prepared for me to ask many questions i would love to grow spiritually as well and would love to hear your opinion on different topics! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! It will be the first blog I follow!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you probably wont see this or be able to read this, but I just wanted to say thank you for this new found hope you've given me. You have taught me to pursue what I want to with out being afraid of being judged. From christian to christian, I wish you good luck! Thank you and you will do great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! i'm excited to grow some together!
DeleteAmazing blog already!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this!
ReplyDeleteJust be you that all your life need to be... Your own...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait
ReplyDeleteI was always curious as to how being a "reality TV star" if you will has changed your life and your relationship with God. I'm currently the same age as you and I know that if it was me I wouldn't be a Christian. I look forward to reading the things your write. I'd also like if you could privately contact me somehow I'd like to talk to you about some things.
ReplyDeleteHey this is awesome man!
ReplyDeleteI am very interested!!!

ReplyDeleteVery excited to read this! My family is not an entirely religious one but we enjoy watching yours who is. It will be good for someone in the spotlight to be able to say and reflect as he pleases w/o someone telling you no. No matter the comments u get here (which you will receive a ridiculous amount) no matter what they say, who cares, keep writing, keep answering as much as u can, no one will ever effect your life unless you allow them to. Only GOD and you lay out your life plan and me and my family are excited to see what u have to say about ur life so far. Good luck John Luke ☺ and tons of love from my family to your! ❤
ReplyDeleteI think a blog is a good way to be real. It's not like other social media sites where you'll get a lot of hate & negitive comments (at least I hope not!) From my blogging experience, the majority of followers are friendly, helpful and uplifting. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to write. When you make it a chore, it becomes unenjoyable. Write when you have something to say. I'm sure we can all learn from each other through this. Looking forward to hearing more of your story.

ReplyDeleteHey Johnluke, you probably wont see this but if you do I would just likke to say
ReplyDeleteThat I think this is an amzing thing you are doing sharing your experiences with
us. I am very excited to read your blog and hope that you do end up writing a bok someday!

ReplyDeleteGreat job, John Luke. I'm an old guy (almost 60) but I'm going to enjoy checking in from up in Canada now and then.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great writer and a great thinker. You have a kind heart! Thank you for giving back to the world through your work in missions and youth camps. We need more people like you to set an example for youth and adults around the world.
ReplyDeleteAdmiration to you and courage for taking the time to write and share! God bless ya! If it flies it dies, Birdhunters!
ReplyDeleteHey John Luke this is Tyler Jones, I am inspired by your story and I have to say DD has inspired me to start my own Buisness WickedStick Roping Dummies, something I started with my best friend john Ryon and in our first year had taken off under our feet and had grown so big. I can relate to your story because I wanted to start something new and I did and through god and my faith in what I was doing it became a great success!
ReplyDeleteIf you would ever see this I invite you to check out my Facebook for my WickedStick roping dummies company! I get a lot of people telling me they look wicked awesome! Maybe show your dad! I bet he would like the way they look ! Thanks buddy and god bless and good luck!
-Tyler Jones
