A celebrity that I respect for their faith and look up to as a role model is Justin Bieber. Justin had a rough journey with discovering his faith. He was arrested for drunk driving in 2014 and spent a night in jail. This began a period of trials for Justin. He was overwhelmed by the media and the world around him. Justin finally spoke with Pastor Carl Lentz about how he wanted to find Jesus and finally fell to his knees, pleading, "Baptize me!". This was a turning point in his life. He then turned to God and created a strong relationship with Him. Justin Bieber now preaches God's message on talk shows, in concerts, and in the lyrics of his songs. In his song "Purpose", Justin sings about how God gives his life purpose. At the end of the song, he says the words, "God, I'm giving it all I got, sometimes I'm weak, and I'm gonna do it, and it's like I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is." At the fundraiser concert in Manchester this year, he said to the crowd, "God is good in the midst of the darkness. God is good in the midst of the evil, God is in the midst no matter what's happening in the world, God is in the midst, and He loves you, and He's here for you." Justin Bieber is a great example of redemption and faith for today's young adults.
I relate to Justin Bieber's teachings of faith and the songs he wrote about God.
In one of his songs, "Life is Worth Living", he preaches how no matter what happens, God will give us the direction to move forward. I love this message because being a teenager in today's society can be hard, and we need to know that life is always worth living. I was surprised to find out how faithful Justin Bieber is when I went to his concert in 2016. He spoke about God multiple times throughout the show. I am...
