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.
Heartbreak for King Charles
Captain Ian Farquhar, a close friend of the king, regrettably passed away at the age of 78.
Ian has been King Charles’s and Queen Camilla’s dear friend for a long time. He further enhanced his already illustrious name by acting as the Queen Mother’s rider.
Ian was a renowned hunter and a superb horseman who served with pride in the Queen’s Own Hussars.
The King, who is already coping with his own cancer diagnosis, is devastated by this loss. Lord Jacob Rothschild, who was 87 years old, passed away just last week.
When Prince William was on leave in 2000, he dated Rose Farquhar, Ian’s daughter. In the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, the young couple relished romantic picnics.
Ian leased a farmhouse on the Gloucestershire estate of King’s Highgrove for a considerable amount of time.
Ian had been quite sick, according to Queen Camilla’s first husband, Stephen Parker Bowles, who made this revelation to the Daily Mail.
Andy revealed that Ian died at Highgrove early on Wednesday morning.
He spoke warmly about Ian, recalling that he was “always a lot of fun, but as wild as a hawk when he was young.”
Furthermore, Andy said that Ian would go down in history as “one of the great Master of Hounds.”
Ian was the esteemed Master of the Beaufort Hunt for 34 years.
On Instagram, the Beaufort Hunt honored their former mentor.
“Sending our love and condolences to the family and friends of our own Captain Ian Farquhar breaks our hearts,” they stated. He gave us 34 years of excellent leadership before passing away quietly this week.
“Many in the hunting community held him in high regard as ‘Captain.’” He was always welcoming, helpful, and prepared to offer anyone who asked for it excellent, progressive advise.
“Anyone who had the good fortune to spend time with Ian and hear about his extraordinary and adventurous life in the army and as a hunter will cherish those memories forever. Ian had a sharp sense of humor.”
