What Jeff Bezos Can’t Buy

Jeffrey Preston Bezos, or Jeff Bezos, as most of us know him, is the richest man in modern history. I recently read that on a single Thursday, his net worth went up five hundred million dollars. He’s so rich! He can buy absolutely anything, or can he?

Jeff Bezos May have over $150,000,000 to his name, but there’s one thing, and possibly only one thing, he can’t buy. What is it? Let’s back up for a second...

First, to my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with Jeff Bezos being super rich. I’m not aware of him earning his income in any negative or immoral way. He started Amazon from his basement selling books, now he could probably buy each and every product on Amazon.

There’s a verse from the Bible that come to mind when I think of Jeff Bezos, and I hope he’s thought of it too. The book of Proverbs chapter 11, verse 4 states “Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.”

There is no doubt that Jeff Bezos doesn’t have riches, but that won’t help him on the day of wrath... or as other Bible translations say “... the day of judgement.” Jeff Bezos will die, and the Bible also says its appointed once for man to die, and afterwards comes judgement.

Side Note: Don’t think for a minute that I think any ill thoughts of Jeff Bezos. I neither know him, nor do I have anything against him. I am a happy Amazon Prime member, and have been for years. I also don’t presume I’m any better than Jeff Bezos, potentially just better off.

When Jeff Bezos (or you for that matter) finally kicks the bucket he’ll face his maker, God, a righteous, and good judge. Jeff Bezos won’t be judged based on his net worth, or even the good deeds he’s done. Instead, like all other court cases, he’ll have to answer for his crimes.

What crimes? Look to the 10 Commandments found in the Bible’s book of Exodus, chapter 20. Has Jeff Bezos ever told a lie? If so, that’s a violation of the 9th commandment. If Jeff Bezos has ever stolen anything, that’s a violation of the 8th commandment.

The 7th commandment says “You shall not commit adultery, and Jesus Christ said “...everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (See Matthew 5:28). Who of us can honestly say we’ve never looked with lust?

The sixth commandment states “you shall not murder” but, again Jesus magnified that commandment and stated “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (See 1 John 3:15)

I don’t know if Jeff Bezos is a Christian or not. But I do know that when he dies, and faces a just and holy God, he (like me, and everyone else) will be guilty of violating at least some of God’s Law (there’s more than just the 10 Commandments). Violating God’s law is called sin.

The Bible warns that the soul that sins, dies. And the destination for sin is a placed called hell. (All liars will have their part in the lake of fire, the Bible says). That’s not what I want. I want Jeff Bezos to go to heaven when he dies.

Remember that verse “Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.” It states that money won’t help Jeff Bezos when he dies, but what is it that will deliver him from death (Hell)? Righteousness.

We’ve already established that neither Jeff Bezos, nor me, nor you, have righteousness based on our lives. So, what then? The Bible says that God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ suffered and died for us on the cross, to pay the price for our sins. Then God raised Him from grave a few days later!

We broke the laws of God, and Jesus Christ paid our fine. Not only that, but Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life (the opposite of us). If we receive the grace of God through faith in Christ, God not only forgives all our sin, but we are given the righteousness of Christ.

On the day of wrath, or Judgement Day, it won’t be our righteousness that will deliver us from death, and it certainly won’t be riches, but the righteousness of Christ. It’s a free gift of God... no Amazon Prime Membership required.

I pray that Jeff Bezos, if he hasn’t already, would see the love God offers through the suffering death of Jesus Christ and place his faith solely in Jesus for his salvation. That way, Jeff Bezos won’t be headed to heaven because he’s rich, or nice, but because he’s loved and forgiven by God the father.

The Bible also says its hard for a rich man to enter heaven... it’s not because God’s love is any less for the rich man, but rather because a rich man may not even think he needs it. The odds of Jeff Bezos reading this are slim to none, so please be praying for him.

One of the funniest comics around, in my opinion, is Jim Gaffigan. His mostly clean, family-friendly, comedy routine is a breath of fresh air in a world of vulgar and outright sinful comedians. I’m not sure the motive of Jim Gaffigan for keeping things clean, but I’m appreciative.

When I first saw a Jim Gaffigan stand-up routine, I wondered, “Is Jim Gaffigan a Christian?” His wife’s religious identity does not tell us what Jim personally believes. We should look at his own public statements rather than draw conclusions about his relationship with God from a family member’s affiliation. A person’s faith is a personal matter, and only God knows the heart completely.

Some people consider Catholicism a branch of Christianity. Famous Faith distinguishes Catholic teaching on justification from the biblical message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. A person who identifies as Catholic may personally trust Christ alone for salvation, but a church label does not reveal that person’s heart. We should be accurate and gracious when we discuss both doctrine and individual people.

The same question matters for everyone, whether famous or unknown: what are we personally trusting for forgiveness and eternal life? A public career, a family connection, or a religious label cannot answer that question for somebody else. The Bible directs each of us to consider our own need for God’s mercy and the good news of Jesus Christ.

Scripture says that all of us have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). Sin is more than an embarrassing mistake; it is disobedience against a holy God. The Ten Commandments help us see our need honestly. Rather than use them to speculate about a celebrity’s private life, we can ask ourselves these questions:

• Have I ever told a lie?
• Have I ever stolen anything?
• Have I ever looked at someone with lust?

Jesus taught that God sees more than our outward actions. In Matthew 5:27–28, He addressed lust as a matter of the heart. None of us can claim to be better than everyone else or make ourselves righteous by comparing our lives with another person’s. When I consider God’s standard honestly, I see my own need for forgiveness and mercy.

What is the good news of the gospel? Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for our sins and rose again. He accomplished what we could not accomplish for ourselves. Our need for forgiveness is real, but so is God’s offer of grace through His Son (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).

God offers forgiveness and eternal life as a free gift to everyone who trusts Jesus Christ as Savior. Salvation is by grace through faith, not earned by good works, religious rituals, or a promise to reform ourselves (Ephesians 2:8–9). Repentance is a change of mind toward God; faith relies on Jesus and His finished work. A changed life is a response to grace, not the price of receiving it.

The Bible’s message about eternity is serious. Our hope cannot rest on our reputation, our achievements, or the religious labels we carry. Jesus is the one who saves, and His invitation is for every person. The question is whether we are relying on Him rather than on our own record.

I cannot see Jim Gaffigan’s heart or pronounce a verdict about his salvation. We can appreciate his work and pray for him and his family while leaving that judgment to God. The same caution applies to every public figure discussed on this site.

Rather than speculate about a celebrity, consider your own response to Christ. Recognize your need for forgiveness and trust the crucified and risen Jesus Christ alone as your Savior. If you want to learn more, read the Gospel of John and seek a church that teaches the Bible faithfully.

Steve Jobs, Spirituality, and Faith

Steve Jobs is remembered for revolutionizing the tech world with Apple, but many wonder about his spiritual life and beliefs. Raised in a Lutheran family, Steve’s early years showed him questioning traditional faith. As a 13-year-old, Jobs was troubled by images of starving children in a Life magazine and asked his pastor why God would allow such suffering. Dissatisfied with the pastor’s response, Jobs rejected the idea of a God who would allow such pain and suffering in the world .

The Early Years: Leaving Traditional Religion

Though Steve grew up attending church with his adoptive family, his rejection of the faith he was raised in started early. After that pivotal conversation with his pastor, Steve began searching for answers elsewhere. He was drawn to philosophy, spirituality, and eventually Zen Buddhism, which played a major role in his life and work ethic. Jobs practiced meditation and embraced the minimalist approach of Zen, saying that “Buddhism and Zen gave him a sense of stillness and the ability to focus” .

Steve Jobs and Zen Buddhism

During his early adulthood, Jobs traveled to India in 1974 seeking spiritual enlightenment, which further solidified his interest in Eastern religions. He spent time with Buddhist monks and later became a practitioner of Zen Buddhism, even incorporating some of its teachings into the culture at Apple. According to several biographies, Jobs embraced the idea that “different religions are like different doors to the same house,” reflecting his belief that no single religion holds all the answers .

Zen Buddhism shaped his approach to life and work, teaching him to embrace simplicity and focus on the present. Jobs was known for saying that death was the single best motivator in life, and this mindset guided his design philosophy, focusing on what truly matters.

His Reflections on Mortality and God

Near the end of his life, Steve Jobs reflected more openly on his beliefs about God and the afterlife. Despite his embrace of Zen, he acknowledged that he was “50/50” on believing in God. He said he liked to think that something survives after we die but admitted that no one really knows for sure. His fascination with life, death, and what might come next shows that he never fully settled on a single spiritual path, leaving the ultimate question of his faith unanswered .

Sharing the Gospel: Prayers for Steve Jobs’ Salvation

While it’s clear that Steve Jobs’ beliefs were complex and evolving, we as Christians are called to pray for his salvation and the spiritual well-being of others who may not have fully embraced the gospel. The Bible teaches us that faith is not about outward success or enlightenment but about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

As believers, we use the Ten Commandments to help show others their need for salvation. For example:

• Lying: Have you ever told a lie? Breaking the 9th commandment reveals our need for forgiveness.
• Stealing: Taking something that doesn’t belong to you violates the 8th commandment.
• Lusting: Jesus said that even looking at someone with lust is like committing adultery in your heart, breaking the 7th commandment (Matthew 5:28).

These commandments show us that we all fall short of God’s law. The good news is that Jesus died on the cross to save sinners. While we may not know Steve Jobs’ ultimate spiritual stance, we pray that his search for meaning led him closer to the truth of the gospel before his passing.

It’s important to remember that while Steve Jobs left a lasting legacy through Apple and his groundbreaking inventions, what matters most is where his heart stood in relation to God. We encourage all Christians to pray for his family and those inspired by his life, that they may also come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

While we don’t know for sure if Steve Jobs embraced Christianity, his spiritual journey offers a glimpse into a man constantly seeking meaning and truth. Let’s keep his family in our prayers and hope that his quest for answers brought him closer to God’s grace.

What Is Selena Gomez’s Religion? Is Selena Gomez Christian?

What Selena Gomez has said about faith

“You already have faith but you have no idea what you have faith in… you are already being pursued by God who knit you together and called you His.” - Source

“You will learn that your truest identity is loved and chosen, as the chosen daughter of God… the Holy Spirit will speak louder than anything that has called for your attention.” - Source

“On your 23rd birthday, Jesus will become real to you… more than a nightly prayer, more than the strength of your friends, more than the name in a devotional, He will become real.” - Source

“I am Christian, and I was very vocal about that at first until people started using it against me. Now I’ve learned to keep it to myself. I don’t think it has anything to do with my job.” - Source

“I’m very, very spiritual. I believe in God, but I’m not religious… I’ve been a Christian for a while now… I love being able to have my faith… that truly is what gets me through.” - Source

From her tearful testimony at Hillsong to interviews and social media comments, Gomez repeatedly affirms that she is a follower of Christ. She speaks of God pursuing her, Jesus becoming real to her, and her identity as a chosen daughter of God. At the same time she distinguishes her relationship with God from “religion” and says she keeps her faith quiet because of public scrutiny.

Quick facts about Selena Gomez

• Full name: Selena Marie Gomez. She was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas.
• She began acting as a child on Barney & Friends and later starred in Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place.
• Gomez has released three solo albums that each topped the Billboard 200 and is known for hits like “Lose You to Love Me,” “Good for You” and “Calm Down”.
• In addition to music and acting she founded the cosmetics brand Rare Beauty and became the first woman to surpass 400 million Instagram followers in March 2023.
• She married music producer Benny Blanco in September 2025.

Does that make Selena Gomez a Christian?

Gomez’s words point more clearly to biblical Christianity than many celebrities. She speaks of being pursued by God, finding her identity as a beloved daughter, and encountering Jesus personally. Yet she also says she isn’t “religious.” Christianity isn’t about image or superstition, it’s about repentance and faith in Christ. Her testimony suggests she understands that, but only God knows the heart.

What the Bible says

God pursues His people. Jesus said He came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). Scripture teaches that those who trust Christ are indeed loved and chosen (Ephesians 1:4-5). A real relationship with Jesus is more than a nightly prayer, it is being born again (John 3:3). The Holy Spirit does speak to believers and guides them into truth (John 16:13). Keeping faith private out of fear may be understandable, but Jesus also warns that denying Him before people is serious (Matthew 10:32-33). Believers are called to be unashamed of the gospel.

The Ten Commandments test

Like all of us, Selena Gomez has sinned. Have you ever lied? Stolen? Used God’s name flippantly? Looked with lust? The Law shows us we cannot earn God’s favor. We need a Savior.

The gospel, plain and clear

God is holy. We have all sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Jesus, fully God and fully man, lived sinlessly, died on the cross for sinners and rose again. By grace you are saved through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised Him, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13). In Christ your identity becomes beloved child of God.

Pray for Selena Gomez

If you’re a Christian, pray for Selena. Pray that she continues to grow in grace, stands firm when critics mock her faith, and uses her massive platform to point others to Jesus. Ask God to surround her with wise believers who will encourage and sharpen her.

If you are not a Christian

God pursues you as well. Turn from sin and trust Jesus. You can pray like this: “Father, I know I’ve sinned. I believe Jesus died and rose again. Please forgive me and make me your child.” The prayer doesn’t save, Jesus does. Read the Gospel of John and seek Him.

What Is Chris Pratt’s Religion? Is Chris Pratt Christian?

What Chris Pratt has said about faith

“God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that, I do.” - Source

“You have a soul. Be careful with it.” - Source

“You’re not perfect… there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you’re willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift… that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood.” - Source

Later he explained his boldness: “It’s authentic for me to be pro-Christian, pro-Jesus. That’s my thing. I like it.” - Source

Pratt’s MTV awards speech went viral because he openly told a secular audience about God’s love, the reality of the soul, and the need for grace bought by Christ’s blood. He later doubled down on those statements, saying they reflect his genuine Christian convictions.

Quick facts about Chris Pratt

• Full name: Christopher Michael Pratt. He was born on June 21, 1979, in Virginia, Minnesota.
• His family later moved to Lake Stevens, Washington, where he began performing in community theater.
• Pratt moved to Maui, Hawaii, and worked as a waiter at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company when director Rae Dawn Chong discovered him and cast him in the short film Cursed Part 3.
• He became known on television through roles on Everwood and Parks and Recreation and later starred in blockbuster films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World.
• Pratt married actress Anna Faris in 2009, they divorced in 2018. He married Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 and has children named Jack, Lyla, Eloise, and Ford.

Does that make Chris Pratt a Christian?

Pratt speaks boldly about God’s love and grace, and he credits Jesus’ blood for salvation. Does publicly mentioning God automatically make someone a Christian? Nope. But in his case the emphasis on our imperfection and grace points in the right direction. Christianity isn’t about being perfect or simply believing in a generic higher power, it is about trusting in the crucified and risen Christ. Words alone don’t save, but Pratt’s statements show awareness of the true gospel message. I have no reason not to think that Chris Pratt is a Christian.

What the Bible says

God really does love us, He proved it by sending His Son (John 3:16). We do have souls created by God (Genesis 2:7) and we are accountable to Him (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible affirms that none of us is perfect (Romans 3:23). Grace is undeserved favor given through Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9). That grace was purchased at the cross, “with somebody else’s blood,” namely Jesus’ blood (1 Peter 1:18-19). Believing these truths is more than a slogan, it requires repentance and faith.

The Ten Commandments test

Have you ever lied? Ever taken something that wasn’t yours? Ever misused God’s name? Jesus said that lustful looks are adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-28). By these standards we are all guilty. Recognizing our sin prepares us to receive the grace Pratt mentioned.

The gospel, plain and clear

God is holy and just. All of us have sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but Jesus lived a sinless life, died in our place, and rose again. We cannot earn salvation, it is “by grace you have been saved through faith… and not by works” (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Chris Pratt

For believers reading this, pray for Chris Pratt. Pray that he will continue to grow in humility, that he will be anchored in Scripture, and that he will glorify Christ in the spotlight. Ask God to provide wise counsel and courage as he navigates Hollywood.

If you are not a Christian

The same grace Chris Pratt spoke about is available to you. Turn from your sin and trust Jesus. You can pray in your own words, for example: “Lord, I admit I’ve broken your laws. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. Please forgive me and change my heart.” Remember, the act of prayer doesn’t save, Jesus does. Read John’s gospel and ask God to reveal Himself.

What Is Cardi B’s Religion? Is Cardi B Christian?

What Cardi B has said about faith

Cardi B has credited God with protecting her and reminding her that she is chosen and anointed. - Source

She has said that she talks to God as a friend and sometimes uses profanity during those conversations. - Source

She has wondered why God loves her and described herself as one of His favorites. - Source

In public comments about her “Jesus year,” Cardi B credits God for protecting her and says He reminds her that she is chosen and anointed. She describes an intimate prayer life where she talks to God as a friend, even using coarse language because she believes He knows her true self. She marvels at God’s love, stating she feels like one of His favorites and wonders why He cares for her.

Quick facts about Cardi B

• Her full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar and she was born on October 11, 1992, in New York City, and raised in the Bronx.
• She is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent and was a member of the Bloods gang as a teenager.
• To escape poverty she became a stripper and later gained fame through social media and reality TV before releasing the hit single “Bodak Yellow”.
• She became the first solo woman to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for her album “Invasion of Privacy”.
• Cardi B married rapper Offset and has three children.

Does that make Cardi B a Christian?

Being thankful for God’s protection and calling yourself chosen shows spiritual awareness, but does it make you a Christian? Nope. Talking to God like a friend and even cursing in prayer may feel authentic, but without repentance and trust in Jesus it’s just conversation. Feeling like God’s favorite doesn’t equal salvation. Christianity isn’t about self esteem or vibes, it’s about turning from sin and believing the gospel.

What the Bible says

Scripture teaches that God indeed protects and chooses people for His purposes (Psalm 91:1-4; Ephesians 1:4), yet He calls everyone to repent and believe in Christ (Acts 17:30-31). Friendship with God is possible (James 2:23), but Jesus said, “You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:14), which includes turning from sin. God’s love is astonishing (Romans 5:8), but it doesn’t mean He overlooks sin. True love sent Jesus to bear the punishment we deserve.

The Ten Commandments test

Have you ever lied? Ever stolen, even something small? Ever misused God’s name? Jesus said that looking with lust is adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-28). God’s Law shows each of us, famous or not, that we fall short. We can’t earn God’s favor by bragging about how loved we feel, we need forgiveness.

The gospel, plain and clear

The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). The penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:23), but God sent His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross for sinners and rose from the dead. Salvation is a gift received by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Cardi B

If you’re a Christian, pray for Cardi B. Ask God to give her a hunger for His Word, to convict her of sin and draw her to true repentance. Pray that she would find believers who will lovingly point her to the gospel and that she would use her platform to honor Christ.

If you are not a Christian

Jesus invites you, no matter your past, to turn from sin and trust Him. You can pray something like this: “God, I admit I’ve broken Your laws. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. Please forgive me and change my heart.” The prayer itself doesn’t save, Jesus does. Read the Gospel of John and ask God to show you the truth.

What Is Billie Joe Armstrong’s Religion? Is Billie Joe Armstrong Christian?

What Billie Joe Armstrong has said about faith

“Religion is a bunch of bullshit. I’m an agnostic… I believe there’s something, but I don’t know what it is.” - Source

“Punk rock is kind of spiritual in its own way.” - Source

“I have crucifixes and rosaries around my house. They remind me of my upbringing and of mortality.” - Source

In a 2010 interview with Bill Maher he called religion “a bunch of bullshit” and described himself as agnostic, acknowledging a possible higher power but rejecting organized religion. He also said punk rock is spiritual in its own way. Despite his skepticism, he keeps crucifixes and rosaries in his home, perhaps as symbols or reminders of his childhood.

Quick facts about Billie Joe Armstrong

• He was born on February 17, 1972, and grew up in Rodeo, California, the youngest of six children.
• His father was a jazz drummer and truck driver who died from cancer when Billie Joe was ten.
• He recorded his first song “Look for Love” at age five, showing early musical talent.
• He received his first electric guitar, nicknamed “Blue,” when he was eleven.
• He met Mike Dirnt in elementary school; together they formed the band Sweet Children, later renamed Green Day, and left high school to pursue music.
• Armstrong married Adrienne Nesser in 1994; they have two sons.

Does that make Billie Joe Armstrong a Christian?

Rejecting organized religion and calling it nonsense doesn’t leave room for biblical Christianity. Saying you’re agnostic, believing in something but not knowing what, does not equal faith in Christ. Appreciating punk rock’s spirituality or keeping religious symbols as décor doesn’t make one a Christian. True Christianity is not a cultural vibe but personal trust in Jesus.

What the Bible says

The apostle Paul observed that some people worship an “unknown god” (Acts 17:23) but urged them to repent because the true God has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ. The Bible warns that external rituals or symbols cannot save (Matthew 23:27). Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Following Christ requires turning from sin and trusting Him, not merely acknowledging a higher power.

The Ten Commandments test

Have you lied? Stolen? Misused God’s name? Jesus said that lustful thoughts count as adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-28). The Ten Commandments show all of us, rock stars and fans, that we are guilty before a holy God. Religion and rebellion both fail us. We need forgiveness.

The gospel, plain and clear

We have all sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Jesus lived without sin, died on the cross and rose again. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Him, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Billie Joe Armstrong

If you’re a Christian, pray that Billie Joe Armstrong would see beyond religion’s hypocrisy to the person of Jesus. Pray that he would be convicted of sin, drawn to repentance and find true spiritual life in Christ.

If you are not a Christian

Jesus offers grace to skeptics and rebels alike. You can pray: “God, I admit I’ve broken your laws. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. Please forgive me and give me a new heart.” The prayer itself doesn’t save, Christ does. Open a Bible and read the Gospel of John. Ask God to show you the truth.

What Is Billie Eilish’s Religion? Is Billie Eilish Christian?

What Billie Eilish has said about faith

“When I was little, I was super religious for no damn reason. My family never was religious… I just was incredibly religious.” - Source

“And then at one point, I don’t know what happened. It just completely went away… I felt almost anti-religious for no reason.” - Source

“I don’t, not believe and I don’t do believe. I’m in a very neutral position. I’m open to every belief pretty much… I like the idea that there’s a God… I’m not going to say I know; nobody knows.” - Source

Eilish has shared that she went through a phase of intense childhood religiosity despite being raised in a non-religious household. Later her faith “completely went away,” and she even felt anti-religious for a time. Now she describes herself as neutral, open to all beliefs, appreciating the idea of a God but unsure anyone can know for certain.

Quick facts about Billie Eilish

• Full name: Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell. She was born on December 18, 2001, in Los Angeles, California.
• She was raised in a creative household; her parents Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell homeschooled her and encouraged music and the arts.
• At age eight she joined the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, and at eleven she began writing songs with her brother Finneas.
• Eilish gained international recognition in 2015 when her song “Ocean Eyes” went viral on SoundCloud; she has since won nine Grammy Awards and two Oscars.

Does that make Billie Eilish a Christian?

Eilish’s honesty about being “super religious” as a child and later drifting into neutrality shows she’s searching. Appreciating the idea of God or being open to all beliefs is not the same as embracing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christianity isn’t a childhood phase or a vague openness, it’s a decisive turning from sin and trusting in Christ alone. Saying “nobody knows” about God might feel humble, but it overlooks the clarity God has revealed in Scripture.

What the Bible says

The Bible warns against a faith that is merely cultural or fleeting. Salvation is not inherited or based on how “religious” we felt as children (Ephesians 2:8-9). Scripture also teaches that God has made Himself known through creation and conscience, so that people are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20). Jesus declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). While the world celebrates open-mindedness, God calls us to repent and believe the truth.

The Ten Commandments test

Have you lied? Stolen? Used God’s name as a curse word? Jesus said that harboring lust is adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-28). These commands are a mirror to show us our sin. Like Billie, we might oscillate between religiosity and apathy, but without Christ we remain guilty lawbreakers.

The gospel, plain and clear

God is holy. We have all sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross to bear our punishment and rose again. Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Billie Eilish

Christian reader, pray for Billie Eilish. Pray that the God she once sought will draw her to Himself again. Ask that she encounters believers who lovingly share the gospel. Pray for humility, conviction and true faith in Christ.

If you are not a Christian

If you’re neutral like Billie, remember that truth exists. You can turn from sin and trust Jesus today. A simple prayer could be: “God, I know I’ve sinned. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. Please forgive me and give me a new heart.” It’s not the words that save, but Jesus Himself. Read the Gospel of John and seek the truth.

In a leaked email before the 2012 Super Bowl, Gisele Bündchen asked friends and family to pray for her husband Tom Brady, writing that he needed their prayer, support and love at this time. According to Tom, she builds him a small altar with photos of their children and special stones, gives him drops and mantras, and insists he wears a necklace with healing and protection stones. Brady also recalled her joking that he was lucky to have married a “good witch.” Her email asked loved ones to pray for Brady and picture him and his team succeeding.

Quick facts about Gisele Bündchen

• Gisele Bündchen is a Brazilian-born supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret Angel.
• She married NFL quarterback Tom Brady in 2009. They have two children and divorced in 2022.
• She is known for environmental activism and philanthropic work, including serving as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program.
• She practices various spiritual rituals, including building altars, using healing stones and mantras, and organizing prayer chains for loved ones.
• Her 2012 email asking friends to pray for Tom Brady and his team became public, revealing her belief in the power of collective prayer.

Does that make Gisele Bündchen a Christian?

Asking people to pray and creating rituals of protection show a belief in spiritual forces, but does that equal biblical Christianity? Nope. Organizing prayer chains and using mantras and stones could reflect syncretism more than faith in Christ. Christianity is centered on Jesus’ atoning death and resurrection, not on charms or positive energy. Only God knows Gisele’s heart, but her practices suggest a mix of spirituality rather than trust in the gospel.

What the Bible says

Scripture calls believers to pray (1 Thessalonians 5:17) but warns against mixing faith with superstition. God forbids sorcery and charms (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) and calls us to worship Him alone. Jesus taught that true worshipers worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). Our confidence comes not from stones or altars but from Christ who triumphed over the powers of darkness (Colossians 2:15). Spiritual rituals cannot save us, only Jesus can.

The Ten Commandments test

Have you lied, stolen, or taken God’s name in vain? Have you loved anything more than God? Jesus said that lustful thoughts are adultery (Matthew 5:27-28). These commandments expose our sin and show our need for a Savior. Spiritual rituals and positive thinking cannot wash away our guilt.

The gospel, plain and clear

The Bible declares that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But God loved us and sent His Son, Jesus, to live sinlessly, die on the cross for our sins and rise again. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by works or rituals (Ephesians 2:8-9). Those who confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Gisele Bündchen

If you follow Christ, pray for Gisele. Pray that she would encounter the living Jesus and find peace in Him rather than in rituals. Ask God to reveal Himself through His Word and draw her to true faith.

If you are not a Christian

God offers forgiveness and new life to all who turn from sin and trust Jesus. You can pray: “Lord, I know I’ve broken Your laws. I believe Jesus died and rose again for me. Please forgive me and give me a new heart.” The prayer itself doesn’t save, Christ does. Read the Gospel of John and ask God to show you the truth.

The Christian Post: Tom Brady discusses Bündchen’s rituals and prayer

What Is Kid Rock’s Religion? Is Kid Rock Christian?

What Kid Rock has said about faith

“I think a rock-n-roll Jesus would bring people together. Music can do that.” - Source

“I thank God every day for my success. I went from living in a car to selling millions of records.” - Source

“I do not understand rehab. If it works for people, then God bless them.” - Source

On Joe Rogan’s podcast, he said that if he could travel back in time, he would want to meet Jesus. When Rogan asked whether he believed Jesus was real, he answered, “Absolutely, one thousand percent,” and pointed to his faith. Kid Rock’s statements reveal a belief in God’s existence, a gratitude for blessings and a desire to see Jesus.

Quick facts about Kid Rock

• He was born Robert James Ritchie on January 17, 1971, in Romeo, Michigan.
• His father owned a car dealership on a six-acre apple orchard where he grew up.
• He immersed himself in breakdancing and rap during the 1980s and joined a group called The Beast Crew.
• After opening for rapper D-Nice he landed a deal and developed a blend of rap, heavy metal and country that made his albums “Devil Without a Cause” and “Cocky” multi-platinum hits.
• He plays multiple instruments and is known for hits like “Bawitdaba,” “Picture” and “All Summer Long,” blending genres from rock to country.

Does that make Kid Rock a Christian?

Thanking God for success is good, and expressing belief that Jesus is real shows conviction. But does believing Jesus existed and asking God to bless others mean you’re saved? Nope. Even the demons know God exists (James 2:19). Christianity isn’t simply gratitude or admiration for Jesus, it’s repentance and faith in His work on the cross. That being said, I have no reason not to believe that Kid Rock is a brother in Christ.

What the Bible says

Jesus indeed brings people together, He is the one who reconciles Jews and Gentiles into one body (Ephesians 2:14-18). Giving thanks to God is commanded (1 Thessalonians 5:18), but thankfulness alone doesn’t erase sin. Believing that Jesus is real is necessary, yet Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Saving faith trusts His death and resurrection, not just His existence.

The Ten Commandments test

God’s Law asks: Have you lied? Stolen? Used God’s name carelessly? Looked at someone with lust (Matthew 5:27-28)? We have all broken these commandments. Standing before a holy God, our good works and music accolades will not justify us.

The gospel, plain and clear

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but God loved us so much that He sent His Son. Jesus lived perfectly, died for our sins and rose again. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Pray for Kid Rock

Christians, pray for Kid Rock. Ask God to open his eyes to the full gospel, to draw him from generic belief to genuine repentance and faith. Pray that he would use his platform to honor Christ and find joy in following Jesus.

If you are not a Christian

You can turn to God today. Pray something like: “Lord, I know I’ve broken your commandments. I believe Jesus died for me and rose again. Please forgive me and change my heart.” The prayer doesn’t save, Jesus does. Read the Gospel of John and ask God to reveal Himself to you.
