During his The Freedom Experience performance in 2021, Bieber told his fans, “I’m tired of religion. I’m tired of division. I just want to know what it looks like to love people. I want to know Jesus, who goes to where the broken people are.”
Those in attendance lifted their arms in worship, much like a Sunday-morning praise gathering. Although the world had faced many trials during the previous year, Bieber told those packed into the SoFi Stadium: “We do got a hope, and his name is Jesus, and he’s changed my life.”
The singer then had to hold back tears when he invited Pastor Judah Smith onto the stage. Bieber described Smith as a brother who has changed Bieber’s life and said, “I can’t look at you or else I’m gonna cry.”
