    Newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday that the entirety of his worldview could be found if one would simply "go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it."

    Johnson, who received unanimous Republican support after three weeks of chaos - and three other nominees for the position - was elected on Wednesday to replace ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and spoke with Hannity about getting back to business in the House of Representatives.

    WATCH:


    "Someone asked me today in the media, they said, 'It's curious, people are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?'" Johnson told Hannity of the intense media scrutiny he'd seen since taking on his new role.

    "I said, 'Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it - that's my worldview.' That's what I believe and so I make no apologies for it," he said.

    "That's your personal worldview," Hannity pressed, and Johnson confirmed: "That's my personal worldview."

    Johnson took his Bible with him to deliver his first speech as House Speaker - where he told every other member of Congress that he believed they were all called by God to use their gifts to the best of their ability to serve the American people.

    WATCH:


    Johnson was also part of a small cadre of House members who chose to lift up the Speaker's race in prayer back in January, when McCarthy fought through more than a dozen ballots before his bid was successful.

    Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) posted a photo of the moment just before Wednesday's vote secured the gavel for Johnson, writing, "In January, Congressman Mike Johnson joined me on the House floor while we were in a deadlock over who our next Speaker would be. We lifted up the speaker's race to the Lord and asked for his divine guidance. Immediately after the prayer, 14 members changed their votes, ultimately leading to Speaker McCarthy securing the gavel by the end of the day."

    "Mike Johnson is a strong conservative, but above all else, he is a strong Christian. He's not afraid to look to his faith for guidance. America needs that more than ever in the U.S. House," he added.
