Fox News host Pete Hegseth recently surprised viewers by leading a prayer on-air during the “Fox & Friends” show. In collaboration with a Bible app, Hegseth initiated the prayer segment, acknowledging the significance of the 5th Sunday of Lent. He read a prayer from the Hallow app, reflecting on the essence of Lent and requesting divine understanding and grace.

His co-hosts, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Will Cain, respectfully participated in the moment. Hegseth expressed gratitude to the app for their partnership during Lent, concluding with “Amen” from Campos-Duffy.

This display of faith isn’t unprecedented at Fox News. Previously, host Kayleigh McEnany and co-host Ainsley Earhardt openly discussed their faith and the role of prayer in political matters.While some criticized the prayer as insincere or politically motivated, others supported the idea. Despite differing opinions, the event sparked an online debate about faith in the media and the sincerity of such displays.
