Lester Holt担任NBC晚间新闻主播的工作经常将他带入遭受战争和自然灾害破坏的地区.
前往遭受地震蹂躏的海地这样的地方，看到如此多的痛苦，迫使这位屡获殊荣的记者思考他的信仰和他工作的影响。霍尔特在Guideposts杂志的一篇坦率的第一人称文章中揭开了他的信仰和他作为记者的角色.
他写道：“这是一个信仰与任何信徒斗争的问题，而不仅仅是记者或新闻播报员。”你看到世界上的苦难，可怕的痛苦，并想知道它是如何公平的。当别人遭受这种剥夺时，你怎么能继续过上丰富多彩的生活？有些人怎么能这么少而其他人有这么多呢？“
霍尔特于1981年在纽约开始了自己的职业生涯，并在来到NBC之前在芝加哥担任了14年的记者和主持人。据报道，他在世界各地（包括伊拉克和索马里）陷入困境，但他在2010年遭受毁灭性地震后在海地度过的时间特别震惊。.
“天哪, 我想, 我不 曾经 希望能够利用人们的痛苦，” 他在Guideposts中写道。 “这就是我在做什么？在新闻界，总会有另一个故事需要报道。必要时，我们继续前进。但在这里，我刚刚目睹的生活与我所知道的生活之间的对比如此之大，它让我感到困扰。”

霍尔特反映在加利福尼亚州北部的一个宗教家庭长大，他的家人周日去教堂两次并经常进行圣经学习。 （两个孩子的父亲是纽约会众的常客。）
即使在一个涉及艰难故事的职业生涯之后，霍尔特也在寻求海地之后的咨询，以帮助调解他在这么多苦难中对自己的工作的感受。辅导员问他，如果他没有去那里报道故事会发生什么.
他写道：“我回想过人们所做的所有捐款，而且还在制作。所有那些巨大的运输机都降落在机场，即使我们还在那里，提供药品，食品，水，衣服。如果没有人报道这个故事怎么办？“

“没有人会知道，”他说。 “这是我的呼唤;这是我应该做的事情。在黑暗的地方发光。为无声者发出声音。使隐形可见。这种光照亮了我们作为人类的状况。”
信仰是霍尔特用来指导他生活的东西，但他并没有把它戴在袖子上.
“至于我的信仰，这不是我在空中分享的东西，尽管我希望它能渗透到我所做的事情中，”他写道。.
