The Pentagon hosted its first monthly Christian prayer service this week, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his former pastor Brooks Potteiger. Military leaders and staff packed an auditorium to sing “Amazing Grace” and pray together during work hours. This bold move shows what happens when leaders put faith first—something liberals have tried to erase from public life for decades.
Secretary Hegseth didn’t apologize for honoring God in the heart of America’s defense operations. He declared prayer essential for making tough decisions that protect our freedoms. While weak politicians cower to secular activists, real men like Hegseth understand strength comes from kneeling before the Creator. This is the leadership Trump promised—and delivered.
Pastor Potteiger reminded the room that God controls outcomes, not politicians or generals. His sermon cut through Washington’s chaos with a simple message: Trust the Almighty, read Scripture, and find mentors who value eternal truths. In a city obsessed with power games, this call to humility struck a chord with patriots tired of endless gridlock.
Critics will screech about “separation of church and state,” but they ignore history. Our founders prayed openly while building this nation. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are restoring that legacy after years of left-wing attacks on religious liberty. Tuesday’s service proved faith isn’t just for Sundays—it’s the backbone of American greatness.
The contrast with past administrations couldn’t be clearer. Imagine Biden or Obama allowing robust Christian worship at the Pentagon! They’d have hosted yoga sessions for gender studies majors instead. Under Trump’s leadership, our military remembers its moral purpose—defending freedom, not pushing woke nonsense.
This isn’t just symbolic. Monthly prayer meetings will strengthen our warriors spiritually as they face global threats. China isn’t holding atheist sensitivity trainings. Russia isn’t banning Christmas. Our enemies fear God-fearing soldiers, and now they’ve got reason to tremble.
The service ended with the Lord’s Prayer and “The Doxology”—hymns that built Western civilization. No taxpayer funds were wasted on this event, just good old-fashioned volunteer spirit. That’s the conservative way: faith, patriotism, and personal responsibility without big government overreach.
As the echoes of “Amazing Grace” faded, one truth remained: Elections have consequences. Trump’s America puts God first. Biden’s America put pronouns first. This November, every voter must choose—chaos and godlessness, or strength under divine guidance. The Pentagon just showed which path works.
