Leaning in on his Christian faith, Mayor Adams told congregants he was turning on what he called his GPS—my God positioning satellite—to help him get through the worst political crisis of his life, just as he says he has done during other periods of personal trial. God placed me in this moment and placed in my heart to continue to move this city forward, Adams told the faithful.
You hear the small number of loud people saying, Well, he should step down.' Well, no, I'm going to step up. I'm not going to resign, I'm going to reign.
I'm going to show those in this city that have had difficult times in their lives that during the most darkest moments, that is not a burial. It's a planting. Let God do his work. I'm going to do my work.
Adams also touted his record during his speech, including reducing gun violence and taking steps to improve the safety and wellbeing of New Yorkers despite the various challenges he faces.
