Family Research Council president Tony Perkins conducted an interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday. The conversation was broadcast on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins,” a program aired nationally through DIRECTV, nearly 100 Christian television stations, various streaming platforms, and over 800 radio stations.
During the interview, Johnson discussed the role his faith plays in his personal life and as Speaker of the House. He stated:
“[Nothing happens by chance,] Scripture is very clear about that. And if you are a Bible believing Christian, you know that God is the one that raises up people in authority, and He sets down others and He is sovereign. And so, understanding that is actually very liberating…He says, ‘My burden is light’ because, you know, if you’re doing your best, as flawed as you are, to operate in accordance with God’s principles and to do what is right and good for the people, then God blesses that. And it takes the responsibility in some measure off your shoulders. As John Quincy Adams famously said, ‘Duty is ours. Results are God’s.'”
