Mike Johnson's Rise to Speaker of the House

Mike Johnson, a relatively new Republican Congressman from Louisiana, was elected as Speaker of the House with the help of several Republican votes. This surprised many given his relatively short tenure in Congress. Johnson's first speech as Speaker indicated that he saw his rise to power as a result of God's will and plan. This belief in divine appointment raised questions about his connection to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a movement within Christianity that emphasizes prophets and apostles as spiritual authorities. The NAR seeks to revolutionize Christianity and challenges the authority of denominations. Johnson's involvement with the NAR and his alignment with controversial figures like Dutch Sheets and Ken Ham raise concerns about his theological beliefs and political agenda.
