The pop star has been open about his Christian faith since he was baptised by pastor Carl Lentz in 2014.
Justin Bieber has shared a deeply personal message admitting he sometimes feels “too flawed” to be part of God’s bigger plan. The singer, 30, shared this recent reflection on his Instagram story, revealing that there are doubts he wrestles with on a daily basis.
He wrote: “Every day I wake up thinking maybe I’m too flawed for God to utilise me in this beautiful story of life. Yet God uses me (flaws and all) every day. The same way He uses you! Our life is significant. God has a plan for us.” Justin went on to explain that he’s choosing to lean into grace instead of striving for perfection.
The Sorry hitmaker added: “Nothing disqualifies us from experiencing God’s good plans for our life. I’m choosing today to allow God’s love and grace to shape my day and give me perspective, and not make my day about trying to prove myself. Join me if you want.”
The post comes just a week after actor Stephen Baldwin — the father of Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber — sparked concern by sharing a now-deleted Instagram reel asking followers to pray for the couple.
The reel was originally posted by Victor Marx, the founder of All Things Possible Ministries, and called for prayers for Justin and Hailey to have “wisdom, protection and to draw close to the Lord”.
It’s not the first time the Biebers’ faith has been in the spotlight. Their Christian beliefs have long shaped their relationship, their public image, and even their decision to wait until they were married to have sex — a move that Justin later said was part of rededicating himself to God.
“If I could go back…I probably would’ve saved myself for marriage,” Justin admitted in a Facebook Live. “I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I really felt it was better for the condition of my soul.”
In the early days of their rekindled romance, following a chance meeting at a church conference in 2018, Justin and Hailey leaned on their shared faith to navigate the pressures of fame and their relationship.
Hailey, who grew up in a Christian household, has spoken openly about how important it as for the couple to have a spiritual foundation. She told Elle : “It’s the most important part of our relationship, following Jesus together. It’s everything.”
That foundation has also helped them through some major health scares. In 2022, Justin was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left part of his face temporarily paralyzed.
Around the same time, Hailey was hospitalized with a blood clot in her brain. Through it all, Justin continued to speak about how Jesus was his anchor. The pop star told followers: “He is with me in the midst of the storm.”
Their journey of faith is something Justin explored in his YouTube documentary, JUSTIN BIEBER: NEXT CHAPTER, four years ago. The YouTube Originals special offered an unfiltered glimpse into the pop star’s relationship with his wife and faith in God.
