Justin Bieber’s Coachella performances this year stood out not only for the energy and nostalgia that he brought, but for the depth and intention.

Blending past and present, Bieber projected his own classic music videos behind him, singing along in real time. It created a one-of-a-kind experience—part DJ set, part time capsule, and part declaration of ownership over his artistic journey. Fans were able to relive hits like “One Less Lonely Girl” and “Beauty and a Beat” in a way that felt both intimate and reimagined.

But beyond the creativity and excitement, there was a moment that shifted everything. In the middle of a festival known for spectacle and influence, Bieber turned toward worship. Singing “GLORY VOICE MEMO” and “EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH,” he openly lifted the name of Jesus with a sincerity that resonated far beyond the stage. While some would use the platform to promote themselves, Bieber took the opportunity to turn the stage into a space that lifted the name of Jesus.

Amid the lights, the crowds, and the cultural buzz, God’s name was lifted high—reaching thousands in person and countless more watching around the world on a livestream. In a space where many may never encounter worship, this was more than a performance; it was an invitation.

Even in the heart of one of the world’s most high-profile events, faith found its place, reminding us that moments of truth and worship can break through anywhere—and touch lives in ways we may never fully see.
