Priority Talk

Title:

Description:
Greg Davis talks with Emily Jones, Republican nominee for Alabama State Board of Education District 8, about her journey from concerned mom and Moms for Liberty leader to candidate for public office.

Jones explains what the State Board of Education actually does—including setting education standards, approving textbooks, and overseeing the state superintendent—and why she believes those responsibilities matter to Alabama families. She also discusses her involvement in Title IX town halls, concerns about textbook selection and content, and her desire to see Alabama’s education policies align with state law.

The conversation also explores the importance of parents staying engaged in their children’s education and participating in local and statewide elections. Jones represents a district that includes Limestone, Madison, Jackson, and DeKalb counties.

Listen to this edition of Priority Talk Radio for a conversation about education, parental involvement, and the role of the Alabama State Board of Education.

Greg visits with Chad Prewett, former Auburn assistant basketball coach and now a leader in a rapidly growing gospel movement reaching college campuses across the country.

Chad shares his journey from 30 years of coaching—including 11 years at Auburn—to stepping away from coaching in 2025 to devote more time to ministry. He explains how his wife, Tanya, began praying for revival on the Auburn campus and how those prayers eventually led to the first Unite Auburn gathering in 2023.

What happened next was extraordinary: nearly 6,000 students gathered at Auburn, followed by an unexpected baptism service at the Red Barn Pond where nearly 300 students were baptized. Since then, Unite Us has held events on dozens of college campuses, bringing churches and campus ministries together around the name of Jesus.

Chad talks about the growth of the movement, the thousands of young people who have made professions of faith, the role Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl played in encouraging his transition into ministry, and the impact of Unite Us events that have even attracted national media attention.

Greg and Chad also discuss the upcoming Pell City outreach, Chad's speaking ministry, leadership opportunities, and how churches and individuals can get involved.

It's a conversation about faith, revival, college students, the power of prayer, and following God's call when He opens a new door.

Greg welcomes Jennifer Rash of TABMedia.group for an hour of encouraging stories about churches and Christians making a difference in their communities.

Jennifer shares how Discovery Clubs and Priority Kids are reaching children in local schools, many of whom have little or no church background, and why more volunteers are needed. Greg and Jennifer also discuss how churches can intentionally invest in their local schools—not just occasionally, but through ongoing relationships with students, teachers and families.

They highlight an innovative “speed mentoring” ministry at Glynwood Baptist Church in Prattville that is connecting senior adults with teenagers and creating meaningful cross-generational relationships. They also celebrate a creative LEGO competition at First Baptist Church Center Star that brought children, families and the church library together.

Another powerful story comes from The Church at Liberty Park, where a caregiver support ministry is helping families dealing with dementia by providing respite, encouragement and community.

The conversation also touches on encouraging reports of Christian faith gaining attention around the world, the importance of understanding the demographics and needs of the communities surrounding our churches, and even Greg’s case for bringing back the printed magazine!

It’s an hour filled with good news, practical ministry ideas and reminders that churches can make a difference when they get involved in the lives of the people around them.

Hour 2 of Priority Talk Radio continues Greg Davis’s conversation about faith and public life in Alabama. Greg highlights opportunities for Christians to engage through prayer, gospel outreach and responsible citizenship, with a continued focus on the statewide Celebration 250 Alabama initiative and upcoming events across the state.

The hour also continues the discussion of current issues affecting Alabama families and communities, while encouraging listeners to stay informed, engaged and active in their communities.

Listen to Hour 2 of Priority Talk Radio for good news, Christian values and a distinctly Alabama perspective on faith and public life.

On this hour of Priority Talk Radio, Greg highlights several opportunities for Christians across Alabama to put faith into action. Pastor Jacky Connell joins Greg to discuss Celebration 250 Alabama, a statewide effort bringing churches together for prayer, evangelism and gospel outreach—including a major gathering at Pell City High School and football stadium on October 1.

Greg also previews the culmination of the Alabama Prayer Initiative at the Alabama Capitol, talks about additional Celebration 250 events around the state, including the large gathering at Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, and encourages listeners to pray and participate in local outreach opportunities.

The conversation also turns to gas prices, with Greg comparing current prices with prices during the Biden administration and discussing the effects of supply, demand and world events.

Greg closes by promoting Priority Talk's Pray, Prepare & Vote resources, including a nonpartisan voter bulletin designed to encourage Alabamians to participate in the November 3 election.

Greg welcomes Stephanie Smith of the Alabama Policy Institute (API) to discuss Alabama's school choice debate, the CHOOSE Act, and the future of education policy in the state.

Following API's annual dinner featuring Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, Greg and Stephanie turn to the November 3 election and recent comments from gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones, who has criticized the CHOOSE Act and referred to it as the "Drain Act."

Smith responds to Jones's concerns about public education funding, racial discrimination, accountability, and the role of private schools. She discusses the program's funding structure, participation by homeschool families, and the accountability requirements for participating education providers.

The conversation also explores the broader debate over school choice, parental decision-making, and educational accountability.

In the second half of the interview, Smith introduces the Alabama Policy Leaders Program, a nine-month initiative designed to develop future leaders grounded in free-market principles, limited government, strong families, and a Judeo-Christian worldview. She explains how the inaugural class of 12 participants will receive policy education and mentorship.

Greg Davis opens this Monday edition of Priority Talk Radio and then highlights the Pray, Prepare, and Vote campaign, a nonpartisan voter education and awareness initiative encouraging Alabamians to participate in the November 3 election. He explains why voting is a spiritual, civic, prayerful, and caring responsibility for Christians and introduces a new voter bulletin designed to help churches educate and encourage their congregations.

The voter bulletin outlines what's on the ballot, provides information about voting locations and registration, and offers resources to help voters prepare for Election Day without endorsing candidates or political parties.

Greg Davis welcomes Pastor Eric Snyder of First Baptist Church White Plains to discuss a major five-night evangelistic crusade taking place at Saks High School's Jack Stewart Field in Calhoun County, Alabama.

Tuesday: A tribute to teachers and education professionals.

With approximately 2,000 people attending the opening night, the crusade represents a significant collaborative outreach effort in East Alabama.
