In a refreshing move, Fox News host Pete Hegseth recently took a bold step on his show “Fox & Friends” by leading a prayer during a sponsored segment featuring a Bible app. This unexpected display of faith on-air has sparked a conversation among viewers, with some expressing skepticism and others appreciating the hosts’ willingness to take a moment for prayer.

Hegseth, known for his warm and friendly demeanor, began the segment by lightening the atmosphere and bringing a smile to his co-hosts’ faces. With a touch of humor, he set the stage for what was about to happen. “We have more ‘Fox & Friends’ coming up, but you know what, this is a transition for transitions if you’ve ever had one,” he said, prompting laughter from his colleagues. Rachel Campos-Duffy chimed in playfully, and Hegseth humorously agreed, “This is very ‘Fox & Friends,’ so ready your heart.”

“It’s the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app,” Hegseth continued. “We all need it, let’s do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would, bow your head.”
