God Wants Us to Be Alive, Not Just Live, Sadie Robertson Shares

Not only is Sadie Robertson a member of the influential Duck Dynasty family, but she is also a well-received author and public speaker.

It is clear from speaking with Robertson that she is focused on making sure she fulfills God’s call on her life.

When asked in an interview with Christian Headlines what it was like to grow up in the Robertson household, Robertson mused. "Everybody asks that question, but it’s probably like it was growing up in your family. I don't know anything else," she shared.

When asked to share one main thing her parents taught her while growing up, she's quick to offer a few words of wisdom passed down to her by her mother.

"Get rid of the ‘should ofs,’" Robertson recalled her Mom encouraging her to do.

This may explain Robertson's steadfastness in pursuing God's plan for her.

Her humility is authentic and on full display when she speaks.

Last month, Robertson released a new book, Live, which has already reached the New York Best Seller's list.

"I didn't plan on writing this book, it was only because of circumstances in my life and my friend's life, that I changed the direction I was going," she told Christian Headlines. 

Robertson’s book highlights the importance of not only living but being alive, concepts Robertson asserts are distinctly different.

Jesus, she explained, has called for us to be alive and to live abundant lives but just survive. 

Robertson also shared her heart for young kids.

"We all need each other and can learn from one another," she asserted. "I think Generation Z wants to have a sense of belonging from mature older people." 

This statement radiates with that same sense of humility. Robertson seems to embody not only her generation's needs but what we all need. 

She embodies her place in the body of Christ, which is that of a servant.

In a world that seems to be forever seeking meaning and hope, Robertson offers some insight into how she is viewing the current pandemic. 

"We've never been in control, which is what I think Christ is trying to show us," she said before sharing that God has given her a sense of "purpose in this season."

Robertson, who recently tied the knot with Christian Huff, was given the word “Faith” from God last year.

Although, it would be easy for her to live behind her famous name or behind the many accomplishments that she's racked up, instead she focuses on the journey. “I have learned so much about me, on what it means to be rooted in Christ." This rootedness is something that Robertson wants all Christ-followers to have, the zeal and desire to be rooted no matter who you are.
