'Duck Dynasty’ star calls most of TV 'garbage,' says faith is why they stayed on air

"Duck Dynasty" stars Korie and Willie Robertson revealed how they used their reality show as a mission to point people to Jesus, staying in entertainment to provide a positive influence.

"For us, it opened our eyes to the power of entertainment and how it is shaping our culture."

"He’s like, ‘Now, all these things are like tiny hills in the shadow of entertainment because of all the time we spend consuming entertainment today, podcasts and all of that," she explained. "And so, that’s why our family — we never got out once we got in. We were like, ‘Wow, this is actually a means to point people to Jesus, and we need to be here and there’s a lot of Christians that are scared of entertainment because there’s this perception of darkness."

She said when they first signed up for their reality show, which began in 2012, people told them: "'Your kids are going to end up on drugs, you’re going to get divorced, like what are you doing?' It was like ‘don’t do it.’ And we were like, ‘No, we need to be in entertainment.’"
