Judah Smith Life Is _____

I don't hide my love for talking with Pastors and Preachers. If I want to be Politically Correct I'm supposed to say from the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Justin Beiber's spiritual guide. But that's not the way I tick. I love talking to Pastors and Preachers. Until a rock and tree begin to share the story of the universe. I'm leaning on these teachers to open a billion hearts and pour in some forgiveness. From Seattle it's Judah Smith Does he like selfies? - yep! His most controversial sermon title? - "Instagram Isn't Real." Obviously not true, because he himself is an Instagram addict. What's it like in Judah Smith fandom? - It is small compared to Bieber, but mighty. They seem to amp up especially around Halloween. When you've hit Halloween costume status you know you've made it. Is he instrumental in getting Justin and Selena back together? - Well, he's no matchmaker, but Us Weekly reports that Selena Gomez was with Bieber (and "smitten") at the Bible study session Bieber attended this week. Also, according to the tabloids, Smith was the one who urged Gomez to reconcile with the singer in Norway because she's a good influence on Bieber. How did Bieber and Smith become friends? - Mama Bieber. She called Smith during Justin's Seattle tour stop four years ago; Smith met with Justin and they've been friends ever since. Smith reportedly texts Justin Bible verses each day. And to critics who've knocked him for hanging out with "bad people," Smith has said, "I think that was one of the criticisms of Jesus." Is Judah the only pastor in Bieber's rolodex? - Nope. Bieber is also friends with 34-year-old New York pastor Carl Lentz, who is also super attractive, albeit more in the leather jacket wearing rock star vein. Leave it to Bieber to have a pastor for all styles. ABOUT JUDAH SMITH'S NEW BOOK Perhaps best known as Justin Bieber’s pastor, Judah Smith is an influential voice in young Hollywood, as pastor of The City Church in Seattle and LA, and the author of New York Times bestselling book “Jesus Is ___.” Judah is releasing his second book on March 3, 2015, “Life Is ___” which asks readers to consider the age-old question “What is life?” – the most important question they’ll ever ask. Similar to his first book, it’s an approachable format that invites dialogue among Christians and non-Christians alike. Judah points to God’s illogical love as the centerpiece of our existence, and he fills in the “life is ___” blank with four different ideas related to love, peace, and enjoyment. It’s this very question that’s fostering faith conversation within the young Hollywood community. “Judah's way of translating to EVERYONE is incredible. He has no other motive but to help people. The best guy I know. Love you Judah.”—Justin Bieber, singer-songwriter “Judah has impacted my life deeply through his way of pouring God's word into my everyday life. He has a voice, a way of communicating, in such a relevant way, speaking truth into our generation. I’m grateful for his constant reminders of how much God loves me and the power of using my voice. He is, in my definition, a true leader.”—Selena Gomez, actress and singer “If we're not careful, we can float through life without truly taking advantage of it. Are you satisfied, do you feel complete, do you know what God truly wants for you? Judah once again reminded me of these things in a powerful follow up to Jesus Is _____.”—Jason Kennedy, E! News host Judah has a massive social media platform (Twitter: twitter.com/judahsmith), an exploding church, and a reputation for humor and wisdom.
