In the pantheon of superstars at Fox News, Shannon Bream stands out, not for her advocacy of any brand of politics, but for her determination to not take sides.

“My job is not to give an opinion,” Bream told a writer for The Charlotte Observer while promoting her latest inspirational book, “Nothing is Impossible With God.”

Host of “Fox News Sunday” since 2022, Bream became the first woman to host the talk show when she took over after longtime host Chris Wallace left. She had been with Fox as a legal correspondent in 2007.

Bream has won fans in the slot, including Princeton professor Robert P. George, who has appeared on the show with his colleague Cornel West and has called Bream “a journalist of the old — and best — school.”

Shannon Bream asked Cornel West and me to appear on her broadcast today to discuss the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it means for our nation. Shannon, though a young woman, is a journalist of the old--and best--school. She's a truth seeker, not a propagandist. https://t.co/GiwBM7JOgh

George later elaborated, telling the Deseret News, “Shannon, for me, is the very best example of someone who really does focus on the story ... who reports in a genuinely objective way. It’s hard to think of anyone these days who does as principled a job on that as she does.”

To understand Bream, George said, you have to understand “what makes her tick, which is fundamentally her Christian faith. But that doesn’t mean she is using her platform to evangelize. Rather, (her faith) has given her a sense of vocation, which is a calling to serve. How does she serve? By helping to inform the public about important issues of public policy so that people in a republic can make good decisions. I think that’s what drives Shannon.”

This is not to say that Bream, 55, isn’t also passionate about talking about her faith, but she has found an outlet for that conversation on her podcast, “Livin’ the Bream,” and in inspirational books.

“The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today” spent 15 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list (five of those weeks at No. 1). Two follow-ups, “Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak” and “The Love Stories of the Bible Speak,” also made the Times’ list.

Bream, who lives in northern Virginia and works from Washington, D.C., recently spoke with the Deseret News about her latest book, subtitled “Eleven Heroes. One God. Endless Lessons in Overcoming,” in which she connects the struggles of biblical heroes (to include Moses, Daniel, Noah, Elijah and Joshua) and related them to problems of modern life, and their solutions.
