“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 conducted the on-screen prayer, reading from the Hallow app, while his co-hosts Campos-Duffy and Will Cain bowed their heads reverently. “Jesus, today we begin the holy period of Passion tide,” he prayed. 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 thanked the Hallow app for collaborating with the show during Lent and closed the prayer by thanking Christ for his sacrificial love demonstrated on the cross. Campos-Duffy added a sincere “Amen” to the discussion.
This kind of public demonstration of religion is not unusual for Fox News anchors. During an earlier episode with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, host Kayleigh McEnany shared her conviction that God is guiding the path.
As our speaker, “to everyone out there, pray for him,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt said. “God’s guidance is desperately needed right now for our nation.”
Although everyone acknowledges the right to practice one’s religion, some people appeared to take offense at this on-air prayer. Many others, though, thought it was a good initiative. Viewers were prompted to discuss it; some expressed disbelief, while others were appreciative of the hosts’ openness to pause for prayer.

My Husband Accused Me of Embarrassing Him While I Was Birthing Our Child, So I Taught Him a Lesson
My husband Owen and I were thrilled to welcome our baby, Liam. Our families were supportive, and the pregnancy went well. However, childbirth was painful, and Owen made remarks about my yelling, which hurt deeply.
One evening, while Liam slept, I brought up Owen’s comments during labor. He admitted to saying I was embarrassing him, but his response was defensive. His attitude shocked me, revealing a side of him I didn’t like. I locked myself in the bedroom with Liam, reflecting on his character.
A week later, we had dinner at my parents’ house. I encouraged my sisters to share their childbirth experiences, highlighting their supportive spouses. Owen listened quietly, realizing his mistakes. When it was my turn, I focused on Owen’s positive actions during my pregnancy. This led to a heartfelt apology from him, and he promised to be a better partner.
Driving home, I felt at peace. By choosing compassion over confrontation, I gave us a chance to move forward. Have you ever faced a similar situation? Would you have forgiven your husband or confronted him publicly? Let us know on Facebook!
