Priority Talk

What happens when an Alabama professor, minister, and father gets the opportunity to ask Vice President JD Vance a question about young men, online rhetoric, and the growing divisions in America?

Greg welcomes Matthew Burford, president of Tactical Faith and a professor at Samford University, to discuss his recent appearance at a CBS News town hall with Vice President JD Vance.

Burford asked Vance how conservatives can take the frustrations of young men seriously without ignoring harmful rhetoric and prejudice. Vance addressed free speech, online extremism, racial division, and the dangers of demonizing people because of their skin color. He also suggested that some of the most extreme rhetoric online comes from foreign actors seeking to divide Americans.

Burford shares his thoughts on Vance's response, what he has observed among the young men he teaches, and the troubling similarities between extreme political rhetoric on the far left and far right. The conversation also explores rising anti-Jewish sentiment, the importance of meaningful dialogue, and the responsibility Christians have to confront hatred while treating others with dignity.

Plus, Burford discusses upcoming events with Tactical Faith and his involvement in honoring veterans through Real Taps for Real Heroes.

It's a thoughtful conversation about faith, free expression, political polarization, and how Christians can help bridge America's growing divisions.

Greg and Bible League International's leader Jos Snoep discuss a new report which highlights the global struggles for Scripture and how Christians can help.

What should Alabama expect from its next attorney general? With Election Day approaching, Greg Davis welcomes Katherine Robertson, the Republican nominee for Alabama attorney general and current general counsel to Attorney General Steve Marshall, to discuss the priorities, challenges, and responsibilities of the state’s top law enforcement office.

Robertson discusses Alabama’s legal battles with major social media companies, including settlements involving Meta and TikTok. She explains why the state pursued consumer protection claims over concerns about children’s safety online and how the resulting agreements could help fund youth protection, school safety, and internet safety initiatives.

The conversation also tackles several important issues facing Alabama: efforts to stop abortion-inducing drugs from being shipped into the state, the ethical and legal questions surrounding in vitro fertilization and the protection of embryos, and strategies for addressing violent crime. Robertson outlines her views on enforcing existing laws, supporting law enforcement, strengthening public safety in cities such as Montgomery, and maintaining close relationships with Alabama’s sheriffs across all 67 counties.

Robertson also discusses the need to expand staffing in the attorney general’s office, her experience working alongside Steve Marshall, and her plans to build on the office’s current work without missing a beat.

As Alabama voters prepare to head to the polls, this Priority Talk Radio interview offers a look at Robertson’s approach to law enforcement, consumer protection, the sanctity of life, and the future of Alabama.

“FanDuel is a portal to hell.” That’s the startling warning from financial expert Dave Ramsey about the growing problem of online sports gambling—and Greg Davis believes it’s a message Americans need to hear.

Is gambling being repackaged to get around state laws, and can government agencies adequately police an industry with powerful financial interests? Greg Davis and Russ Coleman with Texans Against Gambling discuss the legal battle and the stakes for Alabama and the nation.

Why do people who once professed faith in Jesus Christ eventually walk away from Christianity? On this edition of Priority Talk Radio, Greg Davis and Pastor Paul Brasher discuss biblical teacher David Jeremiah’s warning about three dangers that can cause people to abandon their faith: deception, disillusionment, and distraction.

Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 2, 1 Timothy 4, Luke 8, and 2 Corinthians 13, Greg and Paul examine how false teaching can lead people away from biblical truth, how hardship can expose a shallow spiritual foundation, and how the pursuit of worldly pleasures, possessions, and success can gradually crowd Christ out of our lives.

The conversation explores the importance of developing deep spiritual roots through biblical teaching and discipleship, maintaining a biblical worldview in a culture of competing beliefs, and helping new believers grow in their understanding of God's Word. They also discuss the responsibility of churches to teach biblical truth rather than assume people already know it.

The program concludes with a personal challenge from Scripture: Examine yourself. Do you know about Jesus, or do you truly know Him?

Guest host Jennifer Rash visits in studio with author and Bible teacher Denise George about her book for mothers Waiting in the Meantime: A Guided Journey Toward Hope and Healing for Mothers of Estranged Adult Children.

Greg welcomes Stephanie Smith of the Alabama Policy Institute and Alabama Policy Action for their weekly discussion of issues affecting Alabama families, public education, and the state’s future.

First, Smith previews Putting Kids First in the Digital Age, an informational event equipping parents, grandparents, pastors, educators, and policymakers with practical resources to protect children online and explore legislative solutions to emerging digital threats.

The conversation then examines former U.S. Senator Doug Jones’s opposition to Alabama’s CHOOSE Act. Smith addresses concerns about school choice, education funding, and the program’s eligibility for public, private, homeschool, virtual, and other educational options.

Finally, Davis and Smith break down Alabama’s four proposed constitutional amendments on the November 3 ballot:

• Amendment 1: Establishing a process for voluntary consolidation of county school systems.
• Amendment 2: Providing for a special election to fill certain vacancies in the office of lieutenant governor.
• Amendment 3: Requiring public K–12 schools to begin each school day with the Pledge of Allegiance and providing for voluntary, student-led prayer.
• Amendment 4: Requiring public K–12 schools to broadcast or allow a performance of the first stanza of the Star-Spangled Banner at least once each week.

Greg Davis welcomes Deena Wilcox of Concerned Women for America to Priority Talk Radio to discuss the organization’s Big Pink Bus tour and its upcoming stop in Hoover, Alabama, ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

Wilcox explains the purpose of the nationwide tour, which encourages Christians to engage in the electoral process and put their faith and values into action. The Big Pink Bus will stop at Hoover Tactical and Firearms on Saturday, October 24, at 10:50 a.m., featuring guest speakers, food from Lady Bird Taco, prayer for Alabama, and an opportunity for attendees to sign the bus.

The conversation also explores the broader mission of Concerned Women for America, its faith-based approach to public policy, and opportunities for women and young adults to become involved in their communities. Wilcox highlights the organization’s local prayer and legislative action initiatives, including opportunities to pray for elected officials and encourage them through personal correspondence.

Join Greg and Deena for a discussion about faith, prayer, civic responsibility, and practical ways Christians can participate in public life beyond Election Day.
