Fox and Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt has an intense love for Jesus and her faith helps her to stand out from the rest.

After beginning her broadcast journalism career and working in a few small markets, a huge door opened for her in 2007 when the Fox News Channel invited her to join the network.

Earhardt believes it’s a move that God was very much involved in.

“When I got the job with Fox, I said ‘God, are you sure?’ I know nothing about politics, I’ve been covering car accidents and street closures and the pothole patrol in my hometown,” Earhardt said.

She trusted that God knew what He was doing and since letting His will be done settled her place on the network. Earhardt gives all credit to God for her success.

“The moment I stop giving Him the glory is the moment I will fall, and I will fail, and I know that,” Earhardt says. “Because I’ve experienced that in my life. I’ve turned my back on Him and it was the hardest time of my life. I trust Him and I love Him. I’m just grateful, just grateful. All of my dreams have come true.”

Earhardt knew Christ at an early age. She grew up in a Christian home and regularly attended church. She also spent a good amount of time reading the Bible. She always appreciated the faith of her family.

“I just really admired some people in my life that had such strong faith and they actually lived it,” she said. “I wanted to be like them because they were such great people.”

While she knew Christ since she was a child, it wasn’t until college that she made the personal decision to accept Christ as her Savior. It was at this time that she decided to give her life to Jesus.

One of the most difficult periods in her life was losing a child to miscarriage. This was a pain that she knew only God could bring she and her husband through. They were able to find a sense of peace knowing their first child was in Heaven with God.

“We prayed for a healthy child and God has a different path,” she said. “So, I know I’ll meet that little girl – we found out it was a little girl.”

A few months later, she discovered she was pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy daughter.

“So I’m grateful. And she was born and it was the best day! That and becoming Christian – the two best days of my life,” she said.

While some celebrities are private about their faith, Earhardt tries to glorify God every chance she can. She’s not afraid to share her faith on screen and off screen.

“I’m so excited about what God has done in my life. I love Jesus and I cannot hide that,” she says.
