Pete Hegseth, the host of Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” recently made a daring decision by leading a prayer during a sponsored piece that highlighted a Bible app. It was a refreshing move. Viewers have been talking about this surprise on-air demonstration of religion; some are skeptical, while others are grateful for the hosts’ openness to pause for prayer.
Known for his kind and amiable manner, Hegseth lightened the mood and put a smile on his co-hosts’ cheeks as he started the section. He laid up the background of what was going to happen with a hint of comedy. His coworkers laughed when he remarked, “We have more ‘Fox & Friends’ coming up, but you know what, this is a transition for transitions if you’ve ever had one.” Hegseth concurred with a hilarious aside, “This is very ‘Fox & Friends,’ so ready your heart,” as Rachel Campos-Duffy jokingly added.
“This is the fifth Sunday of Lent, and we’re continuing our prayer series by reading prayers from the Hallow app,” Hegseth said. “Let’s do it this morning, close your eyes, and bow your head if you would. We all need it.”
Hegseth’s co-hosts, Campos-Duffy and Will Cain, joined him in prayer with bows of respect. Hegseth led the prayer on screen, reading passages from the Hallow app. “Jesus, today we begin the holy period of Passion tide,” he prayed in a sincere manner. Please, throughout these final two weeks of Lent, enlighten us on the mystery of your submission and sacrifice and intensify our awareness of your love for us. We beg you to reveal yourself to us and enable us to experience the grace of your presence.
Hegseth ended the prayer by thanking Christ for his unselfish love demonstrated on the cross and the Hallow app for collaborating with the show during Lent. Campos-Duffy offered a sincere “Amen” to confirm the prayer.
The Fox News anchors have publicly discussed their faith on the program before. Host Kayleigh McEnany said that she thought Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson believed God was leading the way in a prior episode. Pray for him as our speaker, everyone, said co-host Ainsley Earhardt. God needs to give our nation some direction right now.
Although everyone acknowledges that people have the right to practice their faith freely, some people might have taken offense at this on-air prayer. Many others, on the other hand, thought it was a good idea and appreciated that the hosts would pause their hectic broadcast to pray for a moment.
My Husband’s Grown Children Interrupted Our Honeymoon to Demand Our Villa, They Learned a Valuable Lesson About Respect
My husband’s kids didn’t like me. They never did. But my husband, Jack, stood by me when they crossed the line. His actions taught them a big lesson, leading to apologies and a chance to mend our relationships.
Jack had three kids from his first marriage when we met. Their mom had passed away years before I came into the picture. When Jack introduced me to them, it was clear they weren’t thrilled about it. Understandable, given the age gap between Jack and me.
I’m ten years older than Jack, and we’ve been together for over nine years, engaged for four. His kids, all over 21, never warmed up to me. Even though I never tried to replace their mom, they made me feel unwelcome whenever we were together.
I only moved in after they had left for college. Yet, they continued to act like I didn’t belong. When Jack proposed, they got even colder, disrespecting me behind his back. I kept quiet to avoid conflict, knowing Jack had already faced enough challenges as a single dad.
Jack worked hard to provide for his kids, even after they moved out. He wanted to make up for their mom’s absence. We finally had a small civil wedding, which his kids didn’t attend. They claimed they had other plans. We shrugged it off and focused on our honeymoon in the Bahamas.
But just two days into our trip, his kids showed up uninvited. They mocked me, belittled our relationship, and ruined our special time. When Jack found out, he unleashed his fury, kicking them out and cutting off their financial support.
It was tough love, but it worked. His kids realized their mistake and apologized. Jack forgave them, and we started anew, building a stronger bond than before. His actions during our honeymoon not only protected our happiness but also taught his kids important lessons about respect and responsibility. In the end, our family emerged stronger, thanks to Jack’s tough but necessary decisions.
