I believe the answer is:

thrust

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'strong push' is the definition.
'thrust' can be an answer for 'push' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'strong' bit.

'henry embraced by faith' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'embraced by' indicates putting letters inside.
'faith' becomes 'trust' (synonyms).
'h' inserted within 'trust' is 'THRUST'.

'gives' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thrust that I've seen before include "Force used in pushing" , "Push suddenly and violently" , "Force from jet engine" , "force in argument" , "Push forward with force - gist" .)
