It\u2019s a place to unwind while being inspired by lives lived with purpose, faith, generosity, and love. Every episode reminds us that the strongest communities are built one relationship at a time, and that a meaningful life is measured less by what we own than by who we share it with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Beyond the Bayou\u2019 in North Texas<\/p>\n<p>Production on \u201cBeyond the Bayou\u201d began in early April and wrapped in mid-June.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/entertainment\/fort-worth\/article316064317.html\">Star-Telegram visited the set<\/a> in June before filming finished and spoke with the Robertsons about the new show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s gone by really fast, to be perfectly honest with you,\u201d Jep said on his back porch. \u201cIt\u2019s been a pleasure.
