Kari Lake, a prominent U.S. Senate candidate, voiced out her aspiration to rejuvenate the presence of God in American culture during a Christian conservative summit held recently. The Republican party representative, who narrowly missed winning the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, corroborated that it was divinely orchestrated for her to run for public office and not merely by her personal decision. Presently, she is contesting for an open U.S. Senate seat against Democrat Ruben Gallego.

Addressing Christian conservative activists gathered at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference, Lake called for unity and resilience amidst the current political divide engulfing the Republican Party. Calling on independents and Democrats alike to cast their votes in her favor, she reemphasized her goal of bringing God back into American society.

According to Lake’s view of a trusted news source grounded in a Christian worldview, she stressed the importance of reinstating God into our culture, throughout our lives, hearts and souls. Moreover, she spoke candidly about her faith being instrumental in deciding to quit journalism after being disillusioned by its reportage filled with ‘half-truths’ and venture into politics.

Her faith was further evidenced when explaining how she sought guidance from God to navigate through challenging times. Referencing herself as immersed deeply in real news scenarios while running elections campaigns, which often culminate in character defamation or negative media coverage; firstly as part of the Arizona gubernatorial race where she replaced voter fraud allegations with trust regained from supporters, then now as a senate candidate.

She shared insights about her spiritual journey revealing how upon leaving her role in news journalism spurred by ethical concerns resulted around encountering scriptures such as 1 Timothy 6:7 whilst praying- “You bring nothing into this world and it is for certain you take nothing out.” She took it as divinely-appropriate advice that persuaded her into making informed life decisions, including her entry into politics.

Lake firmly believes in the essence of divine intervention throughout her political trajectory while praising God’s grace in strengthening her resilience through challenging situations. In a world dominated by contrasting views and ideologies, she also expressed fervently that children of God should never lose their innate joy.

Despite lagging behind Gallego at 5.9 percentage points according to RealClearPolitics data (based on polls from April 28 to June 18), Lake stands as a compelling candidate for the forthcoming elections. As a representative among Christian conservatives, Lake’s commitment towards reinvigorating American culture’s spiritual depth promises real news coverage unfold with great interest within the ongoing political scenario.
