Faith and politics have often intersected in America’s history, but few moments capture this more vividly than the recent remarks surrounding former President Donald Trump and his personal convictions.

In a recent interview, Dr. Ben Carson, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and longtime Trump ally, emphasized that Trump believes his survival and continued presence in public life are part of a divine plan. According to Carson, Trump feels he was “God saved for a purpose” and carries the weight of that mission into his political and cultural engagements.

This perspective is not new for Trump, who has frequently spoken about the role of faith in America’s founding and strength. In his public addresses, he has underscored the importance of preserving Christian values and safeguarding religious liberties. “When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker,” Trump remarked, reinforcing his long-held belief that the decline of faith directly affects the nation’s stability. To highlight his administration’s efforts, he pointed to the creation of the Department of Justice task force designed to address anti-Christianity bias—a move he says was vital in restoring fairness for people of faith.

Carson’s comments shed more light on the depth of Trump’s convictions. He contrasted Trump’s approach to religious freedom with what he described as hostility toward Christians under the Biden administration. Carson referenced cases of Christian women jailed for peaceful demonstrations and increasing challenges faced by faith-based schools and parents. For Carson, these developments highlight why Trump feels his mission is urgent.

Central to this narrative is the notion of divine calling. Leaders throughout history have often been viewed as instruments for a greater purpose, and Trump’s supporters see his journey in a similar light. Carson explained that Trump is deeply rooted in his belief that God spared him for a reason—an outlook that strengthens his resolve in the face of opposition. Whether through policy, public appearances, or vocal defense of Christian expression, Trump’s actions, Carson suggests, stem from this sense of mission.

Beyond the political stage, the discussion reflects broader concerns about America’s cultural direction. Reports of anti-Christianity discrimination, restrictions on school prayer, and challenges to faith-based education are seen by Trump and his allies as evidence of a country drifting from its spiritual foundations. Carson, now serving as Vice Chair of the Religious Liberty Commission, echoed this sentiment, noting that freedom of belief and expression is increasingly contested.

For many, Trump’s alignment with faith-based causes resonates strongly. His push for prayer guidance in schools, his administration’s defense of religious rights, and his continued advocacy for Christian values have cemented his image as a defender of faith in the public sphere. Carson’s testimony only reinforces this perception, presenting Trump not just as a political figure, but as someone who interprets his journey through the lens of divine providence.

As debates about faith, culture, and governance continue, Carson’s words add another layer to the ongoing story. They frame Trump’s perspective as one of destiny—an enduring belief that his role is not merely political but spiritual, a mission entrusted to him by God.
