Duck Dynasty stars Jep and Jessica Robertson say a lot of prayer led them to leave Louisiana for Texas
Jep and Jessica Robertson said they did a lot of praying before they made the decision to move their family from their roots in Louisiana for a new life in North Texas.
"It was a lot of prayer, a lot to talking to our friends, but, you know, we love it out here," Jep Robertson told Fox News Digital.
The couple will share their journey on their new Great American Media series "Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou," which will stream exclusively on Great American Pure Flix every Thursday starting Aug. 13. It will also be available on Great American Family and GFAM+ starting Saturday, Aug. 15 at 9 p.m.

"And actually, in this part of Texas where the ranch is, when I was a kid, I used to come out here with my dad from about 12 years old to about 16, 17," Jep explained. "Actually, my first kind of decent buck was killed in Texas not far from this ranch were filming the show on, and so I love this area of Texas."
He said it felt like "God is just like All right, guys, you know, you should try this, and we're like, OK, we'll try.'"
The show follows the couple as they leave "behind the Louisiana bayous that first made them household names," to build a "new life in Texas, transforming Comanche Moon Ranch into a thriving community rooted in craftsmanship, hospitality, and legacy," according to the description of the show on Great American Familys website. "Along the way, viewers will witness the joys and challenges of creating a place where neighbors become family, love grows deeper, and every project serves a greater purpose."

"Beyond the Bayou" will also give fans a more "in-depth" look at them, Jep said, adding that it will be "faith-forward."
The first episodes, he said, show them talking to their Bible study group about "coming out here and kind of doing this whole project, and which was really cool because what most people don't know is like we didn't tell them. We were just meeting with our Bible group, and then, you know, we talked about kind of what was going on, so it's very authentic, which I thought was really cool."
Jep and Jess, who are now grandparents, have been married for nearly 25 years. And while they have a strong marriage, they admit it wasnt always easy.
"I always say, the first seven, eight years were really tough being married," Jep admitted. "I was just like, man, I can't do this.
