Elisabeth Hasselbeck talks Christianity, living gluten free, and Celiac Disease (video)

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is making headline news for confronting HBO host Bill Maher regarding previous comments made that she felt were negatively directed towards her and women in general. Though Bill Maher didn’t apologize to her, we’re not surprised that Elisabeth didn’t back down from the contentious moment on ABC’s “The View.” She isn’t one to back down easily.

Speaking previously with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Elisabeth shared a bit about her marriage to quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, her Christian faith, and her struggle with Celiac Disease, which due to being diagnosed with she lives a gluten free lifestyle. CBN correspondent Wendy Griffith sat with Elisabeth for a one-one one interview. She asked her if why God has given her such an enormous platform to share her views and opinions upon.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck stated, “All the time, but I try to listen for that answer after. There are some days when I think for sure, there are so many other stronger Christians than me out there. I don’t claim to be someone that knows every verse in the Bible. I wish I did. I truly do. It just means I need to spend more time in those pages. I definitely feel there’s a reason. That reason is a God thing. I wouldn’t be able to do it otherwise. Early on, it was really rough, because when you’re first revealing your feelings and thoughts about these hot topics, there’s going to be a visceral response from people one way or another.”
