In 2014, Robertson wrote a New York Times Best Seller book about faith and Christian values called Live Original.[8] She released a sequel to her first book, Live Original, called Live Fearless, in 2018 and in 2020 released Live: Remain Alive, Be Alive at a Specified Time, Have an Exciting or Fulfilling Life. This book encourages readers to thrive in God-given life, find confidence, deal with haters, live in the moment, discover the power of words, and wholeheartedly embrace God's ways so they can make the best choices.[9]

In 2021, Robertson signed a deal to be part of a TV series titled, Life Just Got Real, with producer Brad Krevoy. The series idea was adapted from her book, Life Just Got Real, which was published in 2016.[10] Robertson would appear on the show, however, her main role would be that of producer.[11]

Live on Purpose: 100 Devotionals for Letting Go of Fear and Following God was released in September 2021 and in February 2022, she published Who Are You Following?: Pursuing Jesus in a Social-Media Obsessed World.[12] She cowrote a book with her husband entitled How to Put Love First: Find Meaningful Connection with God, Your People, and Your Community (2023).[13]
