"Duck Dynasty" will be adding new Robertson to the clan for Season 4. 

Alan Robertson is the oldest of the brothers and has declined to be a part of the hugely popular reality series, until now. 

Alan is a pastor in Louisiana and is missing the trademark beard that all of his other brothers have, but he feels it is the right time to join the show. 

Why, you ask? Well his intentions are for a higher calling. While Alan wanted to keep his privacy so he could pastor his church, which is a good size, and still walk the streets without being noticed, he wants to change that now. Alan feels he can reach more people for the Lord with the larger platform of the show. 

He has watched the doors it has opened up for his family, being able to travel around the country and speak and countless events. His family even hosted the first Annual K-Love Fan Awards for Christian music in Nashville, TN in June. 

"What I do for our church - you see, it's a pretty good-sized church - impacts a lot of people, but because of my association with the show, I'll get to minister to a lot more people," Alan said. "A lot more" is an understatement; the show's April finale was watched by 9.6 million viewers.

Alan will join the Duck Commander team and manage the publicity team, beardless we are assuming. 

He and his wife, Lisa, are currently writing a book on marriage which would definitely get a sales boost after being on the show as well. They have 2 daughters, Anna and Alex, in their 20's, who will both be a part of the show as well. Alex will be opening a food truck in front of the store and Anna works at Duck Commander currently. 

"My children are grown, but all of my brothers' children are teenagers now, so how is this crazy world going to impact them?" Alan said. "We think about John Luke and Sadie, who are such a big part of the show, and they're teenagers, you know? They need to be just normal teenagers. We pray about that."

"Duck Dynasty" has been such a refreshing change on TV with good, clean, fun entertainment that is family friendly and faith based. 

What do you think about Alan being added to the show?
