On the Huckabee Show
UPDATE: There was some confusion about air dates for the show. We just learned that it will air on Saturday, July 17th at 8 PM (ET), and will re-air at 2 AM, 8 PM and 11 PM on Sunday the 18th.
UPDATE #2: Apparently an opportunity to interview Robert Duvall has caused our show to be re-scheduled once more. We’ll let you know when we get an update. Thanks for your patience (we’re waiting too).
Brett and I are about to step on the NYC set of the Fox News Channel hit talk show ‘Huckabee’ with former Governor Mike Huckabee to discuss the Do Hard Things message and movement. Please pray that God would use our words to challenge and inspire our generation to boldness and faithfulness for Him.
The show will air on Saturday, July 17th at 8 PM (ET), and will re-air at 2 AM, 8 PM and 11 PM on Sunday the 18th. Be sure to tune in and spread the word to family and friends. This is a great opportunity to introduce new people to the Rebelution movement.

That’s so cool, how exciting! We’ll definitely keep you guys in our prayers. I can’t wait to see it!
June 19th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Is there any way to watch it online? My family does not have a TV.
June 19th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
You both are in my prayers as you take advantage of this amazing opportunity! Stay humble; the Lord will lift you up.
June 19th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Lauren, you should be able to go to fox news.com and find it there. Fox does a good job of getting the shows up, bit it will probably be a bit later than the acctual air time!
June 19th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Awesome! Will be praying! What a great opportunity that He has blessed you with.
June 19th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Praying for you today! May the Lord richly bless your endeavor to honor and follow Him!
June 19th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
I was so excited to read this news. I’ve shared the message on Facebook too. I like Mike Huckabee and I think you guys will be great guests. Many of my friends have teenagers so I recommended they watch the show. I’ll be praying that the Lord would use you mightily to reach others.
Blessings,
Debbie

June 19th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Will be praying!
June 19th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
I will definitely be setting my DVR to record it.
I am very excited for you guys and the the Rebelution. I will be praying!
Lauren, I was able to find a segment with Jon Voight on Hucakbee on YouTube the day after it aired. So if Fox doesn’t put it up check YouTube.
June 19th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
You can do this! Trust in God! Praying hard!
June 20th, 2010 at 7:37 am
I will definatelly watch this! Sorry I didn’t see this sooner, I would’ve prayed before you guys went on.
June 20th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
This is awesome! I will be sure to watch! I hope that all went well and God was glorified!

My mom is Josh’s friend of FB, so she saw what he wrote about it. I was so upset I missed it (we don’t have a DVR) but Alex, you said it didn’t air yet????
June 21st, 2010 at 4:07 pm
I did not see Alex and Brett on the Huckabee show that aired yesterday. Is it scheduled to be shown at a later date? Or is it available online somewhere?

Oh, never mind - I see you updated this post.
June 21st, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Love that show! Wish I could watch it! Praying for you!
June 22nd, 2010 at 10:42 am
Praying for you guys! Going to have to look online for it since we don’t have a TV. Hope I can still watch it.

I’ll be praying for you Alex and Brett that you will not be indicted as co-defendants along with Abby and Zack’s parents for child endangerment. Don’t blame Gov. Huckabee for being wise enough to pull your interview until the outrage across the country has subsided. You were so proud of fellow rebelutionary Zack; he was doing “hard things”. Why haven’t you shown Abby some love? Both young people were not only doing “dangerous things”, they were doing dumb things. Looks like the Rebelution has run into a storm.
June 23rd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Hey Rick? Just curious, what do you mean by “…why haven’t you shown Abby some love?…”
June 24th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I’m so excited to see the places that the Lord is taking you, and the doors He is opening up for you!
ps. how do I get my blog on your blogroll?
June 24th, 2010 at 11:09 am
Kate,
Here is what Alex and Brett posted on July 17, 2009: “As the highest-profile rebelutionary to date, Zac can certainly use our prayers and encouragement. With that in mind, we’ve written the following letter to Zac, and wanted to share it with you at the same time in order to inform your prayers and help guide your reactions to his historic accomplishment.” “So, once again, congratulation! Welcome back. Our prayers are with you as you plan for whatever comes next — and we’ve got your back all the way.”
When Abby attempts the same hard thing and almost loses her life, her parents are facing criminal charges and her dad lies to the nation about trying to cash in on Abby’s heroics; where is Alex and Brett? The silence is deafening. Alex and Brett assured Zac that they “had his back”. What about Abby? Why have they treated her so shabby? If Zac is the most high-profile rebelutionary to date, I guess that makes Abby the most embarrassing rebelutionary to date.
June 24th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Kate,
I answered your question earlier today but I forgot to exalt Alex and Brett and the post was removed. Sorry.
June 24th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
I do see what you mean, I think. Abby and Zach could have spent their time doing more useful hard things than sailing around the world. I did pray for their safety. I just wasn’t sure what you meant.
(Random question: Are you Richard?) In Christ, ~Kate~
June 24th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I would love to watch ya’ll on the Huckabee show, but we don’t have cable, unfortunately. But my grandmother does, so maybe…
June 25th, 2010 at 1:51 am
Thats really awesome, I am so glad you guys get to do this, I will be praying!
Blessings,
Meggie

Wow this is my first time experience on the blog, and i can say that i do love it. I will be praying for you guys… I am almost finishing Do Hard Things and it is truly life changing. Thanks for all you do!

Rick: This comment is addressed to you, but not in order to start a discussion. Your habit is to make wild accusations, and in this instance, for the sake of our teen readers, I will respond. Anyone who reads these comments will have both sides and can judge for themselves.
Brett and I are not embarrassed by Abby. We know her and her family personally — unlike most of the people who currently criticize them. They have our full support and prayers during this difficult time, just as we have theirs as we face the passing of our mother to cancer — something that has kept us from blogging or commenting extensively on the story.
You claim we have shown Abby no love, pointing to our letter to Zac for support. In fact, Governor Huckabee has met Zac and Marianne (his mother) and personally requested that we respond to the accusations made against the Sunderland family in our interview with him — which we did. That interview will broadcast on July 17th, exactly one year to the day after our letter to Zac.
The Rebelution is not about sailing around the world, but it is about raising expectations for teens. Zac and Abby and their parents share that vision. How many more lives have been wasted or thrown away because of low expectations and parental neglect, than because of young people who dared to accomplish something greater — and whose parents supported and provided every step of the way?
What we said in our letter to Zac last year remains our opinion on feats of that kind. They have a place, if only to force our society to rethink their unbiblical, counter-historical assumptions about what young people can and should accomplish with the teen years.
High-profile is not best. Low-profile is not worst — usually it’s the opposite. Faithfulness to Christ and His call is the goal. From what we know of the Sunderland family, that is their goal as well.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Well said Alex. Thank you for clearing this up…
Please know we are praying for your mom and all of you during this time.
Emily
June 28th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Nice job dealing with that Alex!
June 29th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Right, I won’t say anything more on this except, I am sorry if I judged wrongly. I am working on that. I am still praying for your mom.
July 19th, 2010 at 11:07 am
I had my grandpa tape the Huckabee show on Saturday for me (I don’t have dish/direct tv) but I didn’t think to double check the blog and make sure it was still going to be shown. So, I guess I’ll have to wait some more! Can’t wait to watch it though.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I went to private school its wasnt that much different from public.I have trouble following God. Im only 12 going on 13 soon and am in the middle of reading Do Hard things.I love the Lord so much but going through struggles with little sisters(foster Care) and God is definetley changing my life with that but I couldn’t have chosen a better time to read Do Hard Things.

WTH? That 2 year old boy from Indonesia that smokes forty cigarettes is CRAZY. Someone needs to kick his parents around, or just launch them into the sea I saw the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TOtoVEJSTU
October 15th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Wow!
Hope it turns out great!
October 23rd, 2010 at 11:00 pm
This was a great encouragement to me to hear and see the amazing things God is doing to use you. I myself have faced discouragement being one of the only open believers within my school, the death of a friend through suicide who was unsaved, having to watch many of my friends suffer drug addictions, and watch professing believers fall away. Praise the Lord to see your amazing ministry. I have had the amazing blessing to serve in a christian band and play worship for several churches, youth ministries, and christian camps. Lord willing we may go to France and Geneva to play for churches their, and are currently working on recording a CD. Thanks to a God given strength, and the encouragement from fellow believers within my band and youth group I feel that despite my age I can do mighty things through Christ who Strengthens me. I have no fear of speaking about my faith despite the persecutions I face now. I also have seen the great need for your message and the gospel to be preached in Japan, where I have frequently traveled to. I am encouraged to continue and do hard things, whether through music here, or in Japan. You’re always in my prayers!
