Millions of Americans are struggling right now with living in isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, but for “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson, living in solitude is nothing new.

Robertson, 73, has spent most of his life living an isolated life just off Louisiana’s bayou, and he enjoys living in solitude. He’s now preparing to share some of his tips on living the isolated life in a 32 mini-episode series called “In the Quarantine with Phil,” which will be available on Blaze TV.

In a new interview with Fox News, Robertson said that his strong Christian faith has been crucial in getting him through periods of isolation.

“I found Jesus in the mid-’70’s,” he said. “I have been self-quarantined from the world ever since. This is the lesson I have learned since I made that decision. The world and its desires pass away but the man who does the Will of God lives forever.”

“My ambition now is to live a quiet life, mind my own business, work with my hands as God told me, so that my daily life may win the respect of outsiders so that so that I will not be dependent on anybody,” Robertson continued. “Peace of mind is the rarest of commodities and I am totally at peace in my life in the quarantine.”

This isn’t the first time that Robertson has opened up about his journey towards finding God, as he opened up about his past more in an interview conducted last May.

“Until I was 28, I didn’t have any faith,” he said at the time. “Here I am biblically speaking — God said I was under the control of the evil one. I didn’t know that. I was just getting high and drunk with the worst of them. … I had built a track record that was not a good one. I then realized, ‘What was I thinking? All that mischief and carrying on.’ … I came to know Jesus. I looked up one day and I said, ‘Man, I’m driven to do this. I have to do it.’”

Robertson admitted that it was hard to resist temptation and stay on Christ’s path at first.

“At first, I’m trying to be good,” he said. “I’m learning how to be good. My friends would come by, my old buddies, and they would say, ‘Let’s go for a ride. Drive up the road.’ I said, ‘Nah.’ My faith was being tested. … I just broke away from them. … I will say I got an unlisted phone number and I hid out the first year while I was getting on my spiritual feet. That was 44 years ago. Well, the further I have gone on my walk of faith the more faithful I have become.”

What a class act! We can all learn a lot from Phil Robertson, not only about life in isolation, but also about how to be a good Christian.
