Praise and worship are filling the halls of the White House during Holy Week.
During an Easter luncheon in the East Wing of the White House, a group of Christian leaders gathered to praise and honor Jesus, including through a remarkable rendition of “The Old Rugged Cross.”
On social media, Pastor Travis Johnson shared videos from President Donald Trump’s speech to a group of faith leaders.
Pointing out the Rev. Franklin Graham, Trump shared how he tries to correct his language when he’s around him.

“When I see Franklin Graham over here, I was going to say something. I was going to use a filthy, dirty, horrible word. He wrote me a letter,” the president stated, discussing the contents of the letter from Graham. “I purposely watch my language, especially when he’s around.”
“When I see @Franklin_Graham over here…”

Pastor Johnson also shared that Erika Kirk was present at the event.
With some amazing people at the @WhiteHouse right now.
Had the opportunity to share with @MrsErikaKirk that I believed that she and Charlie were to the university campus what Jim and Elizabeth Elliot were to the Auca Indians.

As the sounds of worship echo through the halls of the White House during one of the most sacred weeks on the Christian calendar, it serves as a striking reminder that God is not confined to church buildings—He moves in places of power, influence and decision.
As Resurrection Sunday approaches, believers are reminded that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is still at work today—calling hearts to repentance, drawing leaders toward righteousness and awakening a nation to the reality of the gospel.
