“Duck Dynasty” star Sadie Robertson Huff urged thousands gathered at Passion 2023 to repent if their spiritual lives don’t align with their personal lives. She also stressed that Christians shouldn’t be afraid to “shine their light” by preaching about God anywhere, whether in class or at work.

The 25-year-old outspoken reality TV star, podcaster and social media influencer was among many prominent Christian figures who spoke to thousands gathered at the Passion 2023 conference in Atlanta. She stressed that a Christian’s spirituality or relationship with Jesus should not be separate from the life they lead outside of the church and should invite Jesus into every aspect of their life.

The influencer stated that Christians shouldn’t hide their relationship with Jesus when they’re in secular spaces or around people who don’t believe in God. “If it’s true that the spirit of God is living inside of us, we should have Passion moments in the grocery store, then we should have Passion moments every place we go, then revival really should happen,” she said. “We say all the time we want revival to happen, ‘God, bring revival.’ I just wonder, why isn’t it happening? I don’t think it’s because God is not doing His job. I think it’s because we are not responding to ours.”

She continued, “Everywhere we go could be a place of miracles. Everywhere we go is a moment to share the Good news. But I think in order for that to happen, it has to become personal to you.”

Robertson Huff encouraged the crowd to think of how they could turn their spheres of influence and the places they spend most of their time into areas of ministry. She pushed back against thoughts that churches and small groups are the only places ministry can happen.

“I just want us to wake up to the idea that your truck, your finance class, your walks to school with your friends, your apartment, that is the place ministry should be happening the most,” she said. “Why? Because you’re there. How? Because the Spirit of God is living inside of you.”

“We have places where our spiritual life takes place, and we have places where our personal life takes place,” she added. “Those two things don’t really merge a lot of the time. But I think we have to get it out of our heads that those two things are different things, and they have to become one thing.”

She used the example of Jesus preaching from Peter’s boat in Luke 5. Robertson Huff warned attendees that they shouldn’t only talk about their spiritual lives when they are only around other Christians, stressing that a Christian’s ministry is the glue that ties their spiritual life to their personal life. “Wherever I am is a place for ministry to happen. Because ministry is not waiting for you on a platform. And ministry is not a job position or a title. Ministry is who you are,” she said.

The Passion movement was launched in 1995 by pastor Louie Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta. This year’s conference featured several Christian leaders and pastors, including Giglio, Jackie Hill Perry, Tim Tebow and others.
