The good folks of your favorite TV reality show, Duck Dynasty, are holding what they call the “Duck Commander Sunday Services,” from now on. And, typical of their humorous, straightforward personalities, even made a joke at the atheists in a recent Sunday service.
The wise-cracking, Duck call-making family are holding court each Sunday at a Louisiana church and in a report by The Blaze, they are all true to form singing, preaching, and making jokes as they led their congregation in services this last weekend, on Sunday, September 1.
Willie Robertson addresses the congregation
As The Blaze reports, “‘Our attendance doubled on Sunday and I can’t tell you how many visitors told me that there is just something about White’s Ferry Road church that feels like you just came home,’ Ryan Howard, brother of Willie Robertson’s wife Korie, told TheBlaze.com in an email. He said the West Monroe church’s two Sunday morning services had over 3,000 people.”
The Robertson’s have shocked the entire entertainment industry by being part of the biggest show on TV even as they make no attempt to hide their Christian beliefs.
And, as you can see in the video above, humor was part of that message.
Family patriarch Phil Robertson joked that even an atheist is relieved when confronted by a gang of men carrying Bibles as opposed to the alternative.
