WASHINGTON, DC: Paula White-Cain, the televangelist who’s been President Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser, has offered a rather controversial take about who really runs her household.

In a chat with Real America’s Voice host Steve Gruber on Wednesday, April 23, the head of Trump’s White House Faith Office flat-out declared that she willingly “submits” to her husband, Jonathan Cain, whom she dubbed the “head” of her household.

“Look, the head of my household is my husband, Jonathan Cain, period,” White-Cain stressed, adding, “If there’s ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don’t agree on something, he’s the head.”

“It’s not hard to submit,” she said casually, the Independent reported.



 

Paula White-Cain gushes about men 'returning to church'

Paula White-Cain was hyped about the ongoing religious revival, especially among men.

“God is moving mightily, and what’s so exciting to me, it’s especially among young people and men. Men are the fastest returning to church,” she gushed.

Gruber jumped in to cheer her on. “See what she’s saying there? Again: Men. We need more fathers, more husbands, more real men," he added.

“Absolutely," White-Cain enthusiastically agreed, adding that men “are becoming the bedrock, which is how God designed it.”

A study from the Survey Center on American Life last year showed that young women were leaving church faster than men. Almost two-thirds of them said they weren’t treated as equals in church spaces.

From televangelist to Donald Trump’s spiritual aide

Of course, this isn’t Paula White-Cain’s first rodeo. She’s a seasoned televangelist who’s also been divorced twice. But that hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of Trump’s most vocal spiritual allies — even helping lead his Evangelical Advisory Board during his first term in the White House.

“I’m up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who’s been in ministry for 40 years and understands it,” she told Gruber. “But I am so excited about the move of God and, undoubtedly, Bible sales up 22%, people returning to church, and men converting," she added.



 

But White-Cain’s ministry hustle hasn’t been without controversy. Her previous megachurch, Without Walls International, was slammed during a 2011 Senate Finance Committee investigation, which found the ministry used tax-exempt funds to shell out millions in salaries to family members.

Even some conservative influencers, like Jon Root, are giving her the side-eye. "Anybody that you know holds true to strong biblical conviction and discernment wouldn’t be involved with Paula White,” Root told NOTUS last month, adding, “She’s 100% a false teacher.”

Donald Trump’s Faith Office back in action

Donald Trump created the White House Faith Office—which Paula White-Cain leads—by executive order on February 7. That same month, he launched the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, helmed by none other than former Florida AG Pam Bondi.

The task force just held its first meeting this week, focused on how Americans with religious beliefs were being “unfairly targeted by the Biden administration,” according to the Justice Department.



 

It’s not just the White House making moves — the Department of Veterans Affairs got in on it, too. According to Newsweek, VA staffers were told to report incidents of “anti-Christian bias.” 

One internal email read: “The VA Task Force now requests all VA employees to submit any instance of anti-Christian discrimination to Anti-ChristianBiasReporting.@va.gov. Submissions should include sufficient identifiers such as names, dates, and locations.”

Donald Trump and the presidential prophecy

Paula White-Cain’s connection to Donald Trump runs very deep. She claimed last year that Trump once asked her for God’s opinion about whether he should run for president.

According to White-Cain, Trump approached her back in 2011 and said he wanted to run because he didn’t “like the way this country is going.” 

“I told him what I thought,” she recalled. “And then he turned around, and he said, ‘Well, what does God say?’”

White-Cain subsequently rallied her prayer squad, prayed with dozens of friends, and came back with a prophecy. “I said, ‘Sir … you’re going to be president one day,'" she recounted.

But she also threw in a warning. “I hate the price that you’re going to pay,” she told Trump.
