Rick Santorum has received an unexpected endorsement from one of America’s largest families. TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” Duggar family attended a rally for Santorum in Polk City, Iowa, today.

Family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar told the audience, “All the people in America that have conservative family values have to get behind Rick Santorum for president.” Duggar brought along 12 of his 19 children, creating quite a media sensation, though the Duggar family is used to the spotlight.

Jim Bob, wife Michelle, and their 19 children are the focus of a reality TV show on The Learning Channel (TLC). They are known for being a conservative, religious family, while Santorum is a conservative Catholic with seven children. The Duggars recently lost their 20th child, Jubilee Shalom, at 20 weeks. more >>

Ted Haggard, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, says he will support Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in 2012.

“I am a Newt Gingrich fan partially because he models resurrection to me. He has been married three times, he has gone through his own infidelity, his own growth process, and his own repentance and renewal of faith so I trust him because of that,” Haggard told FOX 411.

Haggard, former pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado, was also one of former President George W. Bush’s biggest supporters during his campaign and served as Bush’s spiritual adviser. more >>

Stanley Hudson from NBC’s “The Office” appears to have lightened up this year’s battle over being politically correct during the Christmas season in a recent episode that many, including Christian leaders, are giving a thumbs up.

The episode “Christmas Wishes,” that aired Dec. 8, begins in typical style of the program, a staff meeting with employees. It then evolves into a rant by Stanley.
