Read our privacy policy Justin Bieber has warned about the power of churches to put pastors on a “pedestal”. The “Peaches” singer is vocal about his religion and previously attended the Hillsong Church, whose lead pastor Carl Lentz was fired in November for “breaches of trust” and “moral failures”. The reality is, every human being has the same access to God.” Bieber said that he reconnected with religion in his teenage years while searching for stability after coming from a “broken family”. Describing how religion helped him, he explained: “If God forgives me and he loves me and he set these things in motion, if he put these desires in my heart, then I’m going to trust him.” Earlier this year, Bieber denied reports that he was studying to become a minister at mega-church Hillsong.
