Meet Jody Hice
















Dr. Jody Hice is the founder of The Culture and Values Network and the host of The Jody Hice Show, a conservative talk radio program.

Jody was born in Atlanta and grew up in Tucker where he ran track and played football at Tucker High School. Jody graduated from Asbury College. He earned his Master’s degree from Southwestern Seminary and his Doctorate from Luther Rice. For nearly 25 years he has served churches in Barrow, Gwinnett, and Walton counties. He has also served as adjunct faculty at Luther Rice.

In 2003 Jody was thrust into the public arena when the ACLU sued the Barrow County Board of Commissioners to force removal of a Ten Commandments display from the Courthouse. Viewing this as an attack upon the freedom of religious expression and upon the cultural and spiritual heritage of our nation, Jody founded Ten Commandments – Georgia, Inc. to assist in supporting the county’s legal defense.

Shortly thereafter, Jody established Let Freedom Ring (now The Culture and Values Network) to defend constitutional liberty.

In September 2008 – and in years since, Dr. Hice joined with pastors across the nation in challenging an IRS code that he considers an attack upon religious liberty. The IRS threatened churches with loss of tax-exempt status and with criminal sanctions if political issues were addressed from the pulpit. Hice took his bold stand by formally endorsing a candidate in a Sunday message and sending a copy of it to the IRS. The IRS backed down.

Jody is a member of the NRA, Gun Owners of American, Georgia Sports Shooting Association, Georgia Gun Owners, and Georgia Carry. He is an ardent advocate of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Since 1996 Jody and Dee Dee, his wife of nearly thirty years, have lived in Walton County. The Hices have two adult daughters and three grandchildren.
