"FOX & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones has a deep-rooted faith, a passion for the Gospel, and a growing media career that has landed him on millions of TV sets each week. "I come from generations of pastors," Jones recently told CBN News. "My mom's a preacher, grandparents are, so, the Gospel at large — knowing who Christ is and accepting [Him] to my heart ... that's all I know."
The 31-year-old TV host said he grew up learning biblical truth, but it wasn't until he left home and moved to Washington, D.C., and then New York City that the things he was taught growing up about God and the Bible were fully put into practice.

"You start getting tested," Jones said. "For me, the faith walk became real when life became real, and when you're alone and you don't have that support system being with you every single day." Jones, who recently released the book, "American Man: Speaking the Truth about the War on Masculinity," said he's not the type of person who will pretend he's a "perfect Christian," refusing to project a lie or mistruth. With that in mind, he said he's striving to be more like Jesus each and every day.

"Part of the Gospel itself is understanding that Christ paid it all because I'm imperfect," Jones said. "And anytime that we try to project ourselves as these perfect beings, I think we take His glory away, because ... if we have it all together, then He wouldn't need to pay it all on the cross for our sins." Jones, who sees life through a biblical lens, is in a truly unique position with a prime spot on TV, delivering news and information to the masses. He called his work on "FOX & Friends" and Fox News more broadly an "exciting experience."

"I've had the opportunity to grow in different ways," Jones said. "Obviously, starting off as a contributor and then, from there, becoming Sean Hannity's correspondent, to doing my own show on Saturday to now this incredible opportunity." Despite all the attention and success, Jones said he hasn't found it tough to cling to his faith. "I don't find it a struggle to hold on to who God has called me to be and be that person," he said, noting he's "proud to be a believer."
