Kayleigh McEnany has had a front row seat to the deep political and cultural divides facing our nation these last couple of years causing Americans across the country to feel a growing sense of hopelessness. In her new book, “Serenity in the Storm“, McEnany shares with her readers why she remains hopeful in Jesus Christ despite the circumstances we see in the world today.
Since serving as President Trump’s press secretary, McEnany has become a highly rated star of Fox News where she co-hosts the show Outnumbered.
When McEnany left the White House in 2021 to work in television, she was not only making a career change, she and her husband, Sean Gilmartin, were also focused on the home front hoping to grow their family. In her new book, she shares part of that very personal journey.
“The second pregnancy, it wasn’t coming so easily. It’d been several months, little bit of a struggle,” McEnany told CBN News. “I mean the months would tick by, the pregnancy tests—and I just got worried and nervous… it started to weigh on me that it wasn’t happening for me.”
During this time about two years ago, McEnany came to CBN News to do an interview with me as White House Correspondent, to talk about her last book, “For Such a Time as This.” While McEnany was at the CBN News office, this reporter felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to give McEnany a copy of “Draw the Circle” by Mark Batterson, a 40-day prayer challenge. McEnany went home to New York and started reading the book with her husband, Sean.
“We started reading it and as I’m reading this, I’ve been really struggling, I have gone to a Christian conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I remember that day in particular just Satan infiltrating my mind with worry and doubt and you know, I was just feeling down,” explained McEnany. “I read this part of the book, and the book is about praying with anticipation, with expectation, and I’m paraphrasing here but basically you know tell the mountains to move, you know, your God is bigger than the mountains.”
McEnany shared with CBN News that while she didn’t know it at the time, God was also moving people around her, like her dad, to pray over a second baby.
“I had taken several pregnancy tests, I thought it was past that time period where I would get a positive one,” recalled McEnany. “All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I get a positive one three days after we prayed with that hopeful expectation.”
A few months after McEnany came to CBN News, the Holy Spirit prompted me to reach out to her and share with her a Word of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit. The testimony that came next still surprises both of them to this day.
