WEEKEND: SC Primaries| Open or Closed? | Evans Training Center Making a Difference(Ep 638)
byJoey Hudson
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
In today’s episode, we cover two powerful conversations shaping lives — and shaping South Carolina’s future.
First, I’m joined by Dave Crooks, Executive Director of Evans Training Center, a Christ-centered, long-term residential recovery ministry right here in the Upstate.
Evans Training Center operates a 40-week regeneration program for men battling addiction, built around biblical discipleship, accountability, community, and vocational training — all rooted in the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ.
Dave shares his personal journey through addiction and redemption, and how that lived experience shapes his leadership today. We talk about:
Why Evans focuses on regeneration, not just recovery
What a typical day looks like for men in the program
How faith plays a central role in lasting transformation
Vocational training through Evans Industries and real-world job skills
How families are restored and men step into purpose after graduation
How churches, businesses, and the community can get involved
Then, we shift gears to South Carolina politics with Mike Burns, a Republican lawmaker from Tigerville and sponsor of legislation that would close South Carolina’s party primaries.
We break down:
Why South Carolina’s open primary system is under scrutiny
The difference between H.3310 and H.3643
Whether independents are being shut out — or party integrity is being protected
Why Republicans should choose Republican nominees
What success looks like 5–10 years down the road
This episode is about restoration and responsibility — restoring lives through faith and discipleship, and restoring integrity to the political process.
Whether you’re concerned about addiction recovery, faith-based solutions, election integrity, or the future of South Carolina — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
