Over the years, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt has shared her affinity for the word of God and how the Bible is an anchor of positivity and hope during challenging times. Particularly in the modern world, where bad news seems pervasive, studying God’s offering of salvation can be a good change of pace.
“I’m drawn to the good news of the Bible, I’m drawn — and everyone is, whether you’re a Christian or where your faith might be — we’re all drawn to … bringing out the positive in a really tough situation,” Earhardt told FaithWire during an interview at the height of the pandemic.
The host illustrated God’s all-knowing omniscience and how He can use seemingly dire circumstances to bring about His ultimate plan for humanity. Therefore, we should place our complete trust in Him. “I just hold onto the hope and the fact that He sees the future,” she added. “I don’t understand why so many are affected by this, but I trust Him and I know that He sees the future and there is a reason.”
Earhardt acknowledged the struggle she endures as a prominent media personality who offers her opinions on hot-button issues. Amid negative reactions from those who disagree, she demonstrated how one should love their enemy. “There are gonna be people who attack me; there are gonna be haters,” she said. “They don’t know me; they don’t know my heart. I love them.”
She continued, “I’m not offended. I know God put me in this position and I know I’m gonna be attacked, so I just try to be the best person I can be. I try to be authentic and tell the truth, and if people don’t like me for that, what do you want me to be? Something that I’m not? You can always turn the channel.”
The Christian Tribune reported on Earhardt’s other comments, in which she outlined her successful career in journalism and how her faith in God ultimately led her to it. She explained that she was initially on a much different track but turned to the Lord for guidance.
“If just kind of hit me. I don’t love this. Biology is my thing, but chemistry and a lot of the other sciences were not,” Earhardt said. “So many of the other students were doing so much better than me. So I began to pray about it and knew I was going to transition into another field.”
The Fox News host found herself considering the University of South Carolina, known for its strong journalism school. “I looked at journalism and my parents were happy about that, and that’s when [the University of] South Carolina became an option. They have a great journalism school and allow for hands on experience,” she said. “There are a lot of big name schools offering degrees in communications but don’t have studio facilities that provide the same experience you get at South Carolina.”
Earhardt maintained that, throughout college, her relationship with Jesus Christ was paramount. “I was pursuing a career I felt God was leading me into, and more importantly I was beginning my walk with Jesus, which is the most important decision I’ve ever made,” she said.
