Alan, who will join Season Four of the show after 20 years of pastoral ministry, addressed the church to discuss his story and the challenges he faced when his father, Phil, was an alcoholic and even shed light on his previous martial difficulties.
“My father unfortunately fell in love with alcohol and he began running with a group of people that took our lives as a young family down a bad road,” said Alan. “For the first 10 years of my life, for my brothers and me, it was very difficult.”
Aside from God’s grace, he credited his mother, known as Miss Kay, as the reason his family remained intact. He also said it was she who led the family patriarch to the Lord.
“When he became a Christian, it’s like the blinders came off and there was clarity and a vision and out of that vision, he wanted to build a duck call. He said, ‘I want to build a duck call that sounds like a duck more than anything else’ and the first Duck Commander duck call was built.”
