Greg Davis examines former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson’s powerful testimony about her experience inside the abortion industry and the moment that ultimately led her to leave Planned Parenthood and become a prominent pro-life advocate.

Greg plays excerpts from Johnson describing how abortion clinics were trained to respond when women expressed doubts or concerns—including the use of the phrase, “women choose abortion because they care about themselves, their current families and their future families.” The discussion explores how that messaging could reframe abortion as an act of compassion while directing attention away from the unborn child.

The segment also highlights Johnson’s account of witnessing an ultrasound-guided abortion that changed her perspective on the humanity of the unborn and led her to resign in 2009 after eight years with Planned Parenthood.

Greg then turns the discussion toward the importance of compassion for both women and their unborn children, encouraging listeners to support Alabama’s pregnancy resource centers through volunteering, giving, and practical involvement. He also highlights the Choose Life Alabama license plate as another way Alabamians can support organizations serving women facing unexpected pregnancies.

A powerful conversation about the abortion industry, the meaning of compassion, the dignity of unborn life, and the importance of providing women with genuine help and hope.

Greg welcomes author and Old Testament scholar Michael J. Rhodes to discuss his book Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says About Public Life and Why It Matters. Rhodes explains why the gospel has inherently public and political implications, and why Christians should see citizenship as part of discipleship rather than separating faith from public life.

The conversation explores “outpost politics,” “pilgrim politics,” and engagement with the halls of power, drawing from examples throughout Scripture—including Daniel, Esther, Joseph, Jeremiah, the Hebrew midwives, and the Old Testament prophets. Rhodes also addresses justice, caring for the vulnerable, seeking the flourishing of our communities, and the challenge of remaining faithful to God's Kingdom without turning partisan politics or national identity into an idol.

Greg and Rhodes also discuss the complex and controversial subject of Christian nationalism, the danger of confusing God's Kingdom with the American nation or a political party, and what it might look like for Christians to be a faithful “creative minority” in the public square.

A thought-provoking conversation about Scripture, citizenship, discipleship, politics, and how Christians can engage public life with biblical integrity without losing sight of the fact that Jesus is Lord and God's Kingdom is our ultimate allegiance.

Greg Davis and Tom Littleton welcome AJ Rice, President and CEO of Publius PR, editor-in-chief of the Publius National Post, host of Dangerous Laughter, and author of The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity. Rice discusses the third book in his satirical “mental illness trilogy” and explains why he believes humor and satire can be powerful tools for exposing cultural contradictions and challenging prevailing narratives. The conversation covers the transgender debate, politics, media, education, the 2024 election, and the role of “dangerous” voices willing to challenge cultural orthodoxies. Rice also shares his experiences working with figures including Laura Ingraham, Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and others, and discusses why he believes liberty requires people willing to speak—and laugh—at uncomfortable truths.

Dr. Stan Cook joins Greg for an extended conversation about the upcoming 2027 Holy Land trip and the remarkable archaeological discoveries that are bringing the pages of Scripture to life. Greg and Stan discuss Shiloh, the City of David, the Pool of Siloam, the Southern Steps, Magdala, Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, and other biblical locations listeners will have the opportunity to visit.

Stan shares firsthand experiences from decades of traveling and participating in archaeological digs in Israel, explaining how seeing these locations in person can transform the way we read the Bible.

The conversation then turns to the history of Islam, Christianity, Israel, and the Middle East, including the historical development of Islamic power, the Crusades, the Arab-Persian divide, and Stan's interpretation of biblical prophecy concerning the nations surrounding Israel in Ezekiel 38–39.

The episode also includes details about the May 31–June 10, 2027 Holy Land trip with Greg Davis and Dr. Stan Cook, including the Jordan and Israel itinerary, accommodations, meals, transportation, passport requirements, and how listeners can receive more information.

Greg is joined by Dr. Stan Cook for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of Christianity in America and Europe, the decline of the church in England and Scotland, religious freedom, cultural change, and the importance of Christians remaining spiritually alert and engaged.

Dr. Cook shares observations from his recent travels through England and Scotland, including the dramatic decline of historic churches and the cultural tensions surrounding immigration and Islam. He also recounts a concerning incident in North Jefferson County involving a man authorities were searching for, raising questions about security, vigilance, and the responsibility of churches to protect their congregations while continuing to proclaim the Gospel.

The hour also features an invitation to join Greg and Dr. Cook on a 2027 Holy Land journey through Israel and Jordan, including Petra, Mount Nebo, Jerash, the Jordan River, and other significant biblical sites. The hosts explain why this trip offers a unique opportunity to experience the places that shaped the biblical story firsthand.

Greg welcomes Stephanie Smith of the Alabama Policy Institute to discuss the importance of restoring authentic civics and American history education in Alabama schools. They explore the historical role of faith in America’s founding, what the separation of church and state actually means, and the need for students to understand both the triumphs and failures of the nation’s past.

The conversation also covers efforts to strengthen American and Alabama history education, the importance of teaching history repeatedly throughout a student’s education, and Alabama’s upcoming implementation of legislation involving the display of the Ten Commandments in schools. Smith explains the effort to privately fund and distribute approved, framed Ten Commandments posters to schools across Alabama.

The hour also examines the importance of civic engagement and voting, particularly in light of Alabama’s extremely low turnout in the recent special primary, and why a healthy republic depends upon citizens understanding both their rights and responsibilities.

Greg wraps up this Friday edition of Priority Talk with a look at “Elijah Peel,” a new faith-based film inspired by a true story and starring Kevin Sorbo. The film follows a famous rock star whose life is changed after a medical crisis leads him to form an unexpected friendship with a young girl in the hospital.

Representative Mark Gidley joins Greg Davis on Priority Talk to discuss Alabama’s upcoming month of prayer and fasting throughout September. Gidley explains the bipartisan legislative resolution declaring September a month of prayer and highlights plans for twice-daily prayer calls beginning September 1, leading to a statewide prayer rally at the Alabama State Capitol on September 30.

Gidley also provides an update on several major pieces of legislation passed during the 2026 session, including the Ten Commandments display law, legislation allowing volunteer chaplains in schools, and protections against elder abuse and exploitation. The conversation also touches on the new prayer room being incorporated into Alabama’s State House and the importance of Christians praying for families, children, biblical values and the future of the state.

Greg Davis and Pastor Randy Williams sit down for a wide-ranging Pastors Round Table covering voter turnout, the responsibility Christians have to steward their vote, and the importance of evaluating candidates by their character, policies, and worldview rather than simply by party affiliation.

The conversation also addresses Massachusetts’ expansion of late-term abortion, the biblical implications of protecting unborn life, the cultural shift away from Judeo-Christian values, and the importance of reaching a generation increasingly shaped by secularism. Greg and Randy also discuss recent federal action concerning gender-related medical procedures for minors and the controversy surrounding men competing in women’s sports, including the growing debate within the WNBA.

Throughout the discussion, the emphasis remains on biblical truth, personal responsibility, civic engagement, and the call for Christians to live out their faith consistently—including at the ballot box.

Topics include: voter apathy, Christian civic responsibility, abortion, biblical worldview, cultural change, transgender ideology, women’s sports, the WNBA, and voting with biblical convictions.

What happens when a healthy desire to see people come to Christ becomes an obsession with numbers, relevance, resources, and growth?

Greg Davis visits with Dr. Andrew Root, author of Baal and the Gods of More: Rescuing Church Growth from Idolatry.

Root draws a provocative connection between the Old Testament struggle with Baal worship in 1 and 2 Kings and the modern church’s preoccupation with growth. He explains how the economic expansion of America, the rise of the modern church-growth movement, and the decline of Christianity’s cultural influence have combined to create a powerful temptation: believing that “more” is what will save the church.

The conversation explores Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal, the danger of turning ministry into a numbers game, the difference between human striving and trusting God, and what genuine faithfulness and success might look like when the church stops measuring everything by growth.

Is the church trying to build God’s kingdom—or simply trying to survive? This thought-provoking conversation challenges pastors, church leaders, and believers to reconsider what it means to be faithful in an age obsessed with “more.”
