The Robertson family at LU (WSET) <\/p>\n
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) - The Robertson family of \"Duck Dynasty\" spoke at Liberty University's convocation Friday morning. <\/p>\n
The family talked about their relationship with God, their family values, and how their hit show got started. <\/p>\n
The family owns and operates Duck Commander, an outdoor great supplier specializing in duck calls.<\/p>\n
Part of the series finale was filmed on the university's campus, and featured John Luke and Mary Kate Robertson, who are now sophomores. <\/p>\n
Thousands packed the Vines Center at Liberty University to hear the family Friday morning. <\/p>\n
\"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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
\"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.\" <\/p>\n
Aside from the laughter, there was a serious message for students, and it was patience. <\/p>\n
\"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.\"<\/p>\n
This resonated with students in attendance. <\/p>\n
\"I got some goals I want to set for myself,\" Christofides said. \"I know they are not going to happen right away.\" <\/p>\n
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.\" <\/p>\n
