The Family Research Council's "Pray Vote Stand" summit in Leburg, Virginia brought together faith-based activists and public figures for panels on the 2026 election, judiciary issues, abortion, artificial intelligence and other cultural topics.
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson spoke at the summit and recounted an incident years earlier when a paternity accusation led to legal exposure that he said ultimately disappeared. "I have three children. I support them very well," Carson said in the anecdote the program reported, using the speaker's own words as presented on-air.
The program described the summit’s agenda as crossing political and religious themes and noted that attendees included elected officials and issue experts. Coverage framed these events as part of the broader campaign-season landscape of organized faith-based political activity.
