Justin Bieber has cried as he performed in front of a church congregation in Los Angeles, breaking down as he discussed his spiritual journey and the difficult two years he’s endured.
Dressed in a white shirt and wearing Drew label shorts, the “Baby” pop star was captured bending over as the force of his emotions overcame him.
“There is power in weakness,” Justin confessed repeatedly throughout the onstage revelations which were delivered as his wife Hailey Bieber watched on adoringly.

The singer-songwriter— who is believed to have been attending the church for at least 8 years— also paid tribute to Judah, the pastor, who he thanked for guiding him through the highs and lows, admitting he loves the religious leader like family.
Justin has long been open about his personal struggles. He famously cancelled his Purpose tour in 2017 and recently admitted he did so because he was “lonely” and “needed some time” to himself as touring “depressed” him. He also told his followers on Instagram that meet and greets with fans were taking a toll on his mental health.
“The pressure of meeting people’s expectations of what I’m supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders,” he wrote on Instagram. “I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people’s spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy.”
Earlier this year, Justin sought professional help for anxiety and depression. Then, in a lengthy Instagram post after leaving treatment he explained how he was stepping away from music to focus on himself.
“Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird. I always bounce back so I’m not worried just wanted to reach out and ask for you guys to pray for me. God is faithful and ur prayers really work thanks,” he began.
