Known for his strong Christian faith, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will give the keynote address at a well-known event for other legislators who hold similar beliefs.
Johnson will be speaking at the National Association of Christian Lawmakers event on December 5th, which will take place at the esteemed Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Regretfully, Rolling Stone has incorrectly described the organization as representing “Christian Nationalist” values.

The group’s website for the event claims that its goal is to have its “biblical worldview” legally recognized across the country, emphasizing “marriage between one man and one woman,” “abolishing abortion,” and drawing attention to the Leftists’ attempts to undermine our culture.
Jason Rapert, the founder of NACL and a former state lawmaker from Arkansas, told the publication earlier this year, “For far too long we have allowed one political party in our nation to hold up Sodom and Gomorrah as a goal to be achieved rather than a sin to be shunned.”
Rapert posted on Facebook to announce Johnson’s keynote speech: “Come join us to support and honor this wonderful Christian servant leader for his leadership in our nation.”
Not long after taking office as Speaker, Johnson faced criticism from certain corporate media outlets for blocking pornographic content for both his teenage son and himself using accountability software.
Johnson, a member of Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, spoke about his experience using Covenant Eyes in 2022 during a technology panel. With the help of this subscription-based program, users can keep an eye on websites on their computers and mobile devices and alert an accountability partner to any content that they find questionable. This was a useful tool for Johnson and his teenage son to keep tabs on their online activity.
“It sends a report to your accountability partner,” Johnson explained in the clip that went viral on X after being shared by a user called Receipt Maven. “My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week.”
“If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell you, my son has got a clean slate,” Johnson continued. “It’s really sensitive, it’ll pick up almost anything, it looks for keywords, search terms, and also images, and it will send your accountability partner a blurred picture of the image.”

Johnson bravely defended his Christian faith and faced criticism from liberals and the media in a recent interview on Fox News.
Johnson boldly answered questions concerning his faith from hosts Jen Psaki of MSNBC, Bill Maher of HBO, and other prominent figures. Johnson is a newly appointed speaker who freely embraces his Evangelical Christian beliefs and sees the Bible as his compass. He doesn’t seem to be phased or disturbed by the insults directed at him.
“The media wasn’t always so friendly to someone with a Judeo-Christian worldview, and in your case, some of the things that had been said, Politico interviewed a historian about your worldview, and this historian said you’re a Christian nationalist; it comes from that of Christian supremacy,” said to Johnson Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany.
At a recent press conference, McEnany discussed Psaki’s MSNBC statement about Johnson, in which she called him a “fundamentalist Christian.”
“What do you think when you hear that?” McEnany asked.
“Look, there are entire industries that are built to take down public leaders—effective political leaders like me. I’m not surprised by that. I mean, it comes with the territory. It doesn’t bother me at all,” Johnson responded.
“I just wish they would get to know me,” he continued, adding, “I’m not trying to establish Christianity as the national religion or something. That’s not what this is about at all.”
The speaker continued by discussing how the Bible commands us to treat everyone with love and peace.
“If you truly believe in the Bible’s commands and seek to follow them, it’s impossible to be a hateful person because the greatest command in the Bible is that you love God with everything you have, and you love your neighbor as yourself,” he said.
