Earhardt gives all credit to God for her success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment I stop giving Him the glory is the moment I will fall, and I will fail, and I know that,\u201d Earhardt says. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve experienced that in my life. I\u2019ve turned my back on Him and it was the hardest time of my life. I trust Him and I love Him. I\u2019m just grateful, just grateful. All of my dreams have come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just really admired some people in my life that had such strong faith and they actually lived it,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted to be like them because they were such great people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While she knew Christ since she was a child, it wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe prayed for a healthy child and God has a different path,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, I know I\u2019ll meet that little girl \u2013 we found out it was a little girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, she discovered she was pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m grateful. And she was born and it was the best day! That and becoming Christian \u2013 the two best days of my life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>While some celebrities are private about their faith, Earhardt tries to glorify God every chance she can. She\u2019s not afraid to share her faith on screen and off screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so excited about what God has done in my life. I love Jesus and I cannot hide that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox and Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt has an intense love for Jesus and her faith helps her to stand out from the rest.
