Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth kicked off a bold new era at the Pentagon this week by hosting a Christian prayer and worship service right in the heart of America’s military headquarters. Hundreds of Pentagon staff and service members gathered Wednesday morning to sing hymns like Amazing Grace and pray together during work hours. This historic moment shows what happens when real leadership replaces woke weakness in Washington.
Pastor Brooks Potteiger, a longtime spiritual mentor to Hegseth, led the crowd in powerful prayers for divine guidance over military decisions. He reminded our warriors that God controls America’s destiny, preaching from Psalm 46: “Be still, and know that I am God!” The service rejected radical secularism and proved faith still matters to those defending our freedoms.
Hegseth announced these Christian gatherings will now happen monthly, declaring, “This is precisely where we need to be as a nation—on bended knee.” The Trump-appointed secretary emphasized that relying on God’s wisdom gives him courage to make tough choices. No taxpayer dollars funded the event, shutting down liberal complaints about church-state separation.
The joyful singing of A Mighty Fortress and The Doxology echoed through Pentagon halls that had gone silent about faith under previous leaders. This wasn’t some hidden chapel service—it was a public celebration of Christian values in the military’s nerve center. Real Americans know our strength comes from God, not diversity seminars.
Hegseth’s leadership stands in stark contrast to Pentagon bosses who banned Bibles and promoted CRT training just years ago. The secretary made clear these prayer meetings will fan out across military bases nationwide, rebuilding the spiritual backbone Barack Obama and Joe Biden tried to destroy.
Critics in the fake news media will screech about “theocracy,” but patriots understand the truth. Our military thrives when it honors the God who blessed America. Wednesday’s service included the Lord’s Prayer—something every child used to learn before leftists attacked our traditions.
President Trump’s election made this revival possible by appointing bold Christians like Hegseth instead of globalist yes-men. The same elites who mock flyover country values are furious to see hymns replacing “inclusivity workshops” at the Pentagon. Too bad—real Americans are taking our country back.
This powerful moment proves elections have consequences. While Democrats push drag queen story hours, Trump’s team restores prayer warriors to the Pentagon. The message is clear: Under strong conservative leadership, America still trusts in God.
