'God has an order': Head of Trump's faith office says women must 'submit' to men

https://www.rawstory.com/paula-white-2671833752/

Televangelist Paula White, leader of the White House Faith Office, argued that women must "submit" to men.

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, host Steve Gruber spoke to White about the state of faith in America during President Donald Trump's second term in office.

"God is moving mightily, and what's so exciting to me?" White explained. "It's especially among young people and men. Men are the fastest returning to church."

Gruber agreed that "real men" were needed to take leadership roles.

"Absolutely," White continued. "They are becoming the bedrock, which is how God designed... Because God has an order."

"Look, the head of my household is my husband, Jonathan King. Period," she noted. "If there's ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don't agree on something, he's the head."

bless their heart, but the way some GOP women talk , they must be sinning just by being leaders, especially as soem of them are so aggressive they make GOP men look like a sewing CIRCLE: green, boebert, neom, haley, ernst, et al.. Of course, i it means attacking someone black, brown, LGBT, or simply poor, then they do nto even pretend to show mercy, indeed they do their best to pour gas on the fire at every opportunity,

If some of these GOP women got the husbands they claim men should be, they wuld be in deep trouble, as tey would learn why liberal women want their rights protected from men like them.

White has been married three times.

Her first marriage was as a teenager. White became pregnant the year after converting to Christianity. She and the father, local musician Dean Knight, married in 1985; they divorced in 1989.

White met associate pastor Randy White in 1987 while attending Damascus Church of God in Maryland, which was headed by his father. According to the book Holy Mavericks, meeting this third-generation preacher was a turning point in her life. The two divorced their spouses in 1989 and married each other a year later, White becoming stepmother to his children. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Tampa, Florida, and started Without Walls International Church. On August 23, 2007, Randy White announced that the couple were divorcing.

In 2010, White was photographed leaving a motel in Rome holding hands with televangelist Benny Hinn. Hinn said, "A friendship did develop", though "the relationship is over". Both denied an affair.

At the close of 2014, musician Jonathan Cain of the rock band Journey finalized his divorce from his second wife and became engaged to White, whom he had seen during his marriage. On April 27, 2015, the couple married, White becoming stepmother to his children.

I'm married to a man.
But believe me, if he were to die, that would be the end of my relationships with men.

If I were a young woman, I would totally do the 4B lifestyle.

HER man. This is precisely why women cannot marry beneath themselves. And I am a believer. We are also not to be unequally yoked. That includes socially, educationally, faithwise and in every other way.

In my situation as a widow, it makes it difficult to find and date my equal.

31. 'Selling miracles on the side': Rachel Maddow calls out WH official's 'YouTube evangelism'
Wed Apr 23, 2025, 08:45 PM
Wednesday

This lady is a fraud and a scam artist



https://www.rawstory.com/rachel-maddow-2671549474

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow called attention to the head of President Donald Trump’s White House Faith Office, whom she flagged for continuing to peddle religious articles and other “supernatural blessings.”

“Are you feeling the itch to send this U.S. government employee, the head of the White House Faith Office, $1,000 or more? If so, congratulations, because that is how you get all this stuff, including the ‘special year of blessing’ and ‘a long life’ and ‘taking your sickness away’ for the low, low price of $1,000,” Maddow said sarcastically.

The primetime host opened her show Wednesday by highlighting the YouTube presence of Trump’s longtime spiritual adviser Pastor Paula White-Cain, who besides leading the White House Faith Office as senior adviser is still hawking religious offerings online......

Maddow concluded in a sarcastic tone that it was “nice to know that at least someone in the White House” was working on issues like “long life” and “take sickness away,” even “if they are charging for them.”

She then folded the MAGA pastor's miracle-selling ways to the Trump administration’s cut to USAID’s funding of global vaccinations.

“You may be able to buy those things by sending $1,000 to the head of the White House Faith Office, but know when you're doing so that the U.S. government itself will no longer be working toward those aims in the material world,” Maddow concluded.
