Tough Talk Radio Network

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Jim Huddleston:

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Jim Huddleston grew up in a small mobile home park and was exposed to a wide variety of music through his father’s involvement in local country music bands. It was his love for music that led him to pursue a career in the industry, and after school, he could often be found jamming with musicians in his father’s barbershop.

In 1985, Jim met his future wife, Alicia, and soon after enlisted in the military. After being reunited with Alicia in 2018 and with her unwavering support, Jim returned to his passion for music in 2020. Now, he is ready to share his unique sound and powerful message with the world.

Inspired by his faith and experiences as a disabled veteran, who suffers from PTSD, Jim’s music is a reminder of the enduring power of the American spirit. He says, “America needs a voice now more than ever. Why shouldn’t that voice be ours?”

Nathaniel Arnold is an author, entrepreneur, and respected church elder. He is the author of five fiction and nonfiction books and owner of His Glory Publishing. Nathaniel was led back to the Christian church while watching the battle of good and evil play out in his own life. His lifelong devotion to God provided the trust he needed to push through and publish his testimony.

Nathaniel has over 35 years of experience in the real estate industry, both as a broker and certified residential appraiser. He has written two novels and two books on real estate investing and wealth development. His fiction novel, The Genocide Files, was considered for film adaptation. 

Growing up in a racially conflicted period of the segregated south, Nathaniel migrated to the Washington, DC, area from Mobile, Alabama, as a pre-teen. He graduated from Columbia Union College with a BA in Psychology and built his career in real estate. 

Arnold has lived a full life of victories and setbacks, including two cancer diagnoses. A devoted husband, father, and elder, Arnold is also an active participator in life, spending his free time studying, teaching investment techniques to young people, and walking outdoors. His writings, fueled by his own real experiences, bring hope and wisdom to anyone questioning their own truth. You can find him regularly participating in book signings, television appearances, and radio programs.
