Pastor Carl Lentz to the rescue! Carl Lentz and Justin Bieber grabbed a bite at Nando’s in suburban Sydney.

Justin Bieber is currently in the limelight because it looks like he has taken a break from music after an apparent spiritual awakening. Sources claim that the 23-year-old singer canceled his tour to rededicate his life to Christ. However, Bieber denies these rumors and says that he canceled the tour because of exhaustion. Further reports claim that his crew is angry with him for disrupting their financial standing without warning.

Over the last few months, it has been reported that Bieber was attending Pastor Carl Lentz’s church events at Sydney Hillsong Church in Australia. It was further stated that Pastor Lentz did not ask Bieber to cancel his tour.

In the past few days, the relationship between the two has become quite intense, with Lentz being said to influence the singer’s decisions.

Carl Lentz and Justin Bieber

LOVE these two legends…and speaking of love…A wise man named Paul once said…”Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, doesn’t have a swelled head, doesn’t force itself on others, isn’t always “me first,” doesn’t fly off the handle, doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, doesn’t revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end. Love never dies.” If somebody says they “love you” but you don’t SEE THESE THINGS? Gaurd your heart! If you have experienced love like this? Best thing you can ever do, is share it w/ as many people as you can… another wise man named Christopher Wallace said “spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way..” May it be OUR way, day by day.. #occupyallstreets #aviatorsmountup #longerthetrafficlongerthecaption

Earlier, there were speculations that Lentz paid Bieber to attend the Hillsong conference. Lentz denied the rumors by saying, “We don’t pay him to attend. He comes on his own.” He further added, “I think that Justin is a good Christian. I don’t think his problems are behind him, but we all have to deal with other stuff to come. His relationship with Jesus is changing his life daily. It is one of those things where you never really get it, it takes a while to keep growing as a person.”

Carl Lentz’s Wife and Kids

It’s @lauralentz BIRTHDAY! I love this radiant, excellent, gorgeous and selfless human being.. She is classy, she is kind, she is secure and she is threatened by no-one! Which is why she is so quick to cheer others on, promote others, forgive quickly and help them shine. She is the strength of our family, and our church. My children don’t have to leave our house to find their role model because she’s there. Everyday. Navigating each new season of life with passion and improper Australian grammar. I have no doubt that had Laura and I never met, she would be impacting people and making a difference. I also have no doubt that if I DIDN’T MEET HER? I would NOT be.. She’s that special. I need her way more than she needs me! And I’m ok with that… Laura Lentz, happy birthday my love. I’m grateful that I get to be by your side, this side of eternity.. I’m blessed to be your husband..
