Who knew prayer could be so offensive to so many? But that's exactly the
reaction Pastor Jack Hibbs received from several members of Congress after he
gave a prayer on January 30th to open their session. Hibbs is the pastor of
mega church Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, California. House Speaker Mike
Johnson invited him to deliver the invocation. In his prayer, Hibbs called for
"humility and repentance of national sins in a time of great need." In a letter that
was sent to the Speaker of the House, 26 Democrats accused Hibbs of being "an
ill-qualified hate preacher" who was pushing a "Christian Nationalist
agenda", according to Roll Call. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith
podcast, recorded from the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in
Nashville, TN, Pastor Hibbs answers the Democrats' accusations, talks about
what he prayed for, and why he believes it rankled the nerves of those on the
left. He also discusses his new book, "Daze of Deception: How to Discern
Truth from Culture's Lies."
