LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) - The Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty" spoke at Liberty University's convocation Friday morning.

The family talked about their relationship with God, their family values, and how their hit show got started.

The family owns and operates Duck Commander, an outdoor great supplier specializing in duck calls.

Part of the series finale was filmed on the university's campus, and featured John Luke and Mary Kate Robertson, who are now sophomores.

Thousands packed the Vines Center at Liberty University to hear the family Friday morning.

"The fact that I was just able to see my childhood heroes up on the stage, it's really incredible," freshman student Peter Christofides said.

We ran into another fan, junior Chase Orlandini, who was dressed in head-to-toe camouflage with a fake beard to look like a Robertson.

"I wasn't doing this just to get attention," he said with a smile. "I just wanted to show them how much of a fan I am."

Aside from the laughter, there was a serious message for students, and it was patience.

"When I went to college, I was a P.E. major," Willie Robertson said. "I thought I was going to be a pastor perhaps, and I had no idea the road that we would take."

This resonated with students in attendance.

"I got some goals I want to set for myself," Christofides said. "I know they are not going to happen right away."

Junior Austin Case said, "It's a huge thing for me because I'm about to graduate in a year, and [to] really know that no matter where I'm going to be, the Lord is going to prosper me."
