‘God Saved Him’: Paula White-Cain Reveals Untold Truth About Trump’s Faith and the Spiritual Crisis in America
Paula White-Cain believes her role as senior advisor and director of the White House Faith Office is a direct call from God — one rooted in a “strong conviction” and pointed quest to protect religious liberty.
“Many people know that I’ve had a relationship with President Trump and his family for over 24 years,” she said. “A strong conviction because, as we saw, a quick deterioration of religious liberties of our country, of the moral fabric.”

White-Cain cited claims of the FBI investigating the Catholic Church, restrictions on pro-lifers, and Coach Joe Kennedy’s battle to pray on the 50-yard line as examples of such biases.
“We’re in trouble, and that’s only the beginning,” she said. “There’s been so much targeted discrimination.”
As far as why White-Cain believes some citizens don’t realize the extent of religious liberty threats, she said too many people keep their heads “buried in the sand.”
“I think we just have this really narrow tunnel vision sometimes, and … we think it’s not gonna directly impact us, but it does,” she said, noting politics play a role in many facets of Americans’ lives. “Whether they believe it or not, politics is in their life deciding how much they’re gonna pay on their property tax if they can be zoned … if they go to a church, if that church can have a daycare, because a secular daycare is much easier to zone than one that is of faith, if they want to adopt a child or get involved in foster care — there are gonna be rules and regulations on them.”
Even when people think they’re safe from such interactions, she argued they really are not. Despite the need to sound these alarms, the White House faith leader said she’s encouraged.
White-Cain believes Trump’s reelection shows many people feel “enough is enough.” All of this underpins her own decision to jump into the driver’s seat of the White House Faith Office.
“Why did I sign up? Because I had an unprecedented opportunity given to me by this amazing president, this man who understands the importance of faith to be in the first-ever, newly created, historic White House Faith Office that gets to fight for people, whether they’re on the street, homeless, or whether they’re the CEO and they’re being targeted because of their faith,” she said. “And the greatest thing that we do — we have eight different tenets in here, but the greatest thing to me is religious liberty. And that is that every human being on this earth has the right to approach God, and to worship Him.”
White-Cain recounted how she met Trump 24 years ago when he called her office randomly.
The irony is that White-Cain had already put some celebrities on a prayer list and Trump was one of the names who had come to her heart well before that call.
“So, he calls me up, I get on the phone, he says, ‘You’ve got the ‘it’ factor,’” she recalled. “I said, ‘Oh, sir, we call that the anointing.’”
Trump then referenced a series White-Cain had preached at her church, showcasing he was familiar with her pastoral work. After that call, the two met in New York, and a friendship subsequently bloomed.
