Foxworthy met his wife Pamela Gregg at the Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia and they married on September 18, 1985. They have two daughters: Jordan (born in 1992) and Julianne (born in 1994). A noted hunting enthusiast (beginning when he was a teen hunting on his father's farm property in middle Georgia).
By the time Foxworthy was 30 years old, he came to the conclusion that God did not require him to follow the rigid rules pertaining to clothing and outward expression in order for him to be a good Christian. Today, he emphasizes the Bible as a guide for his everyday life, including what to do with his income, which he explains is not his, but "belongs to God". Despite attending church regularly, he says that he is "not real big on religion", explaining in a 2012 interview, "Here’s what I feel like. Rather than going and sitting in a service for an hour every Sunday and that being extent of my faith, it's more important that I live it out. I lead a Bible study with homeless guys on Tuesday mornings ... I have done it for years." The group started with 15 participants, and subsequently grew to over 100 homeless men. According to Foxworthy, if addicts among the group successfully complete treatment, the organization will house them for a year, and offer counseling and support in reuniting them with their estranged families.
In 2012, Foxworthy endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
