Americans are desperately searching for meaning in a culture that’s offered nothing but empty promises. The signs are everywhere. After decades of declining church attendance, something remarkable is shifting.

Traditional faith is making a comeback, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see it. Across the nation, communities are returning to values that built this great country. The phenomenon is catching attention at the highest levels of government. President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt has made a stunning claim. She believes that we’re experiencing a genuine “spiritual revival” in America. And she says that Trump is playing a significant role in bringing Americans closer to God.

A New Generation Returns to Faith

The evidence is appearing in unexpected places. College campuses – once bastions of secular progressivism – are witnessing remarkable scenes of religious expression. Students gathering for worship services. Public baptisms taking place in campus quads. Young people openly embracing faith. When’s the last time you heard CNN report on college students getting baptized? That’s what I thought.

Leavitt, a practicing Roman Catholic, highlighted these developments in a recent interview with Christian Broadcast Network.

From ‘The Independent’:

“I think so, especially amongst younger generations,” she said. “You see the videos of college students worshiping on their campuses, many students getting baptized in the middle of their campus. It’s a really beautiful sight.”

These aren’t isolated incidents. Social media platforms are filled with videos of campus faith gatherings. Young Americans are rejecting the empty promises of secular progressivism. They’re seeking something deeper.

“I think people are moving closer to God, and I hope that, I hope that they are. I pray that they do,” Leavitt continued.

Policies That Protect Faith and Values

The Trump administration’s actions have created space for this revival to flourish. Since returning to office, the President has signed multiple executive orders aligned with traditional Christian values.

Trump banned biological men from women’s sports. This protected female athletes and upheld biological reality. Trump pardoned pro-life protesters. This recognized the moral conviction of those standing for unborn life. When asked if Trump was responsible for the spiritual revival through such policies, Leavitt didn’t hesitate.

“I would say so,” she said. “I think the President has been a great voice for young people.”

These actions stand in stark contrast to years of policies that marginalized people of faith. Religious Americans often felt their values under attack. Now, they’re finding their voice again. Don’t you find it interesting that as faith-friendly policies return to Washington, so does spiritual awakening across America? I certainly do. The administration’s defense of religious liberty has encouraged believers to practice their faith openly. Churches report increased attendance. Prayer groups are multiplying.

‘Saved For A Reason’

The story of President Trump’s survival takes on deeper meaning in this context. Indeed, the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania left him bleeding but alive. Trump himself sees divine purpose in his survival.

“An assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason,” he stated in his inauguration address.

“I certainly believe in spiritual warfare,” she told CBN, “and I think I saw it firsthand, especially throughout the campaign trail.”

“I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason,” Leavitt added.

Many Americans share this perspective. They see Trump’s survival and return to office as providential. They believe America’s story includes divine guidance at crucial moments. Throughout American history, spiritual revivals have preceded periods of national renewal. From the Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th centuries to the religious resurgence of the 1950s, faith has been a catalyst for positive cultural change.

Faith and America’s Future

What does this spiritual revival mean for our nation’s future? First, it suggests younger generations aren’t as secular as many assumed. The hunger for meaning transcends political divisions and age groups. Second, it demonstrates that faith remains central to American identity. Despite decades of secularization, our religious foundations continue to shape national life. Third, it offers hope that America can overcome bitter divisions through shared values. Faith communities have historically bridged social divides.

The revival Leavitt describes isn’t merely religious. It represents a return to foundational principles that built America. Truth. Moral clarity. Personal responsibility. Community.

As students worship openly on college campuses and policies protect religious expression, Americans are rediscovering what the Founders understood. A nation’s strength flows from the character of its people. And character is formed through faith and values that transcend politics. The spiritual awakening continues to unfold, quietly transforming hearts and minds across America. And frankly, it couldn’t come at a better time.
