White House Faith Office: A Win For America

With the stroke of a pen, President Trump established a White House Faith Office which will seek to empower faith communities and protect Americans’ religious liberty.

In charge of the new office is Paula White-Cain who, in response to the announcement, said, “Thank you President Trump for putting the utmost importance on faith and people of faith in your administration!

White-Cain will work alongside the office of Attorney General Pam Bondi, to “combat discrimination against Christians in federal institutions and ensure religious liberties are upheld across the country!”

In the lead up to the election, the National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB), which brought together pastors and many other faith leaders to create solutions to issues and policies that matter to faith communities, grew in number and many of those who took part in it have been permitted into the White House Faith Office.

Immediately following the signing of the historic Executive Order, pastors who were a part of the NFAB gathered around President Trump to pray for him and his administration. These leaders were then taken next door and whilst they were gathered, they broke out in song, praising God for the remarkable working of His hand.

Sitting on the NFAB is Franklin Graham, Jentezen Franklin, and amongst many others, Pastor Travis Johnson. These individuals from around the country are seeking the Lord’s direction on how to protect the vulnerable and help the helpless and protect religious liberty.

Despite this monumental measure, some took to the online space to express their displeasure with White-Cain, a woman, being put in charge of the office.

With some sects of Christianity questioning (or flat out smearing) President Trump’s decision to place White-Cain over this office, let me give some context:

During his first term in 2018, Trump started the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative which brought faith leaders in to speak on policies and decisions.

The result of this initiative was: foster care reform, prison reform, religious liberty protections, disaster aid for churches, adoption, and many other improvements.

Included in this initiative was Paula White-Cain.

After Trump’s first term in office, the leaders who had been gathered were then spurred on by Paula White to form the National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB).

NFAB has consistently hosted monthly prayer calls with political leaders both public and private, and on many occasion, President Trump even joining the calls to request advice!

Trump told White-Cain that she could bring in anyone she deemed necessary and that they would meet regularly in the Oval Office to talk and pray. What a blessing!

According to Justin Dean, an NFAB member, “He [Trump] trusts Paula and has known her for years. And that trust has opened up amazing opportunities. She has been very generous and inclusive, bringing in voices of all kinds so that Trump gets a good range of advice.”

He went on to say that, “We may not agree on theology, but I have no problems with Paula leading this initiative if it gets the work done. We aren’t planting a church, we are helping regain and reshape the country.”

In conclusion…

The fact of the matter is this: cry, complain and criticize all you want, God has and is clearly using White-Cain, a fellow believer in Christ, to not only minister to President Trump but has had such favor as to be ushered into the White House to oversee a Faith Office! This isn’t just a win for believers but for this very nation.

This is a reason for celebration amongst the body of Christ and not cause for division.

This is a moment to recognize that when there is a win for one in the body for Christ, there is a win for all.
