“I don’t do Christian radio in the traditional sense...I talk about news and politics,” said Carmi native Sandy Rios about her radio show to the packed Carmi First Baptist Church on Sunday night.
Rios then went on to speak about the culture as it was during her growing up years.
“It was culturally normal to save intimacy for marriage. Abortion was rare and not legal in those days,” she said.
Based in Washington, DC, she is the host of “Sandy Rios in the Morning on AFR Talk” which can be heard on nearly 200 stations through the American Family Radio Network, where she takes on the cultural issues of the day. She is also the current Director of Government
Affairs for the American Family Association, one of America’s largest, pro-family grassroots organizations.
On Sunday, she touched on topics such as abortion, marriage, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, the transgender movement, and the myriad of new laws that are coming that affect the culture.
Rios took questions from the crowd, including one from a White County teenager who stated that some of her public school teachers are pushing liberal agendas and she felt she had no voice.
