Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt shares about how she met Jesus and how God opened the door for her to host the Morning Show on Fox News that is viewed by millions around the world and how she is able to live her faith in front of her viewers. You'll get to know her family a little, including her sweet little girl, Hayden, who inspired her to write her newest children's book “I'm So Glad You Were Born” which is available wherever books are sold.“My mother always told us on our birthdays each year how glad she was that we were born—and now I love saying that to my daughter, Hayden,” said Earhardt, during her book announcement this spring. “This book celebrates all the reasons we are so glad our children are born and how special they are. It reminds children they have a purpose, there's a plan for their life, that God loves them and they are worthy of having a wonderful life. This book is about noticing the traits that make a child special, and I hope it helps parents, grandparents, and caregivers to slow down and take the time to tell the children in their lives how grateful and appreciative they are for all the special things that make a child who they are.”Ainsley Earhardt is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, including two #1 children's bestsellers, Through Your Eyes and Take Heart, My Child. She hosts a Bible Study with Fox Nation and has over one million followers on her social media platforms combined. Earhardt has been a co-host on the popular FOX & Friends morning show since 2016.Resources:I'm So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating Who You Are Hardcover by Ainsley Earhardt (Author), Kim Barnes (Illustrator)Please share Over the Rims of Mugs with a friend if you enjoyed this episode.
