1
It's hard sometimes to look in the mirror
2
and really have to realize maybe you're not the person that you necessarily thought that you were.
3
That's just a result of trauma and life circumstances.
4
I've been so very public about my faith journey
5
and how my relationship with Jesus has helped me to not be so hard on myself.
6
It's discouraging out here sometimes, you know, life smashes in the face and it can be hard to get back up.
7
God knows what we're going through and just wants us to be the best versions of ourselves.
8
And so that's when we were not perspective at a relationship with everything.
9
I think relationships for anybody are the best.
10
You know, it's a constant, you know, dance, a hero.
11
And yeah, I think being inspired by my relationship is like,
12
and definitely could be some great music and sometimes you could have the writer's gloss or whatever,
13
but I've said it before about love is kind of like the foundation of the faith
14
and love being the foundation of love, not like music in general.
15
So it's important to me that I'm singing about kind of what I'm living.
16
Basically for a while there, I felt like I lost my purpose.
17
I felt like I lost my purpose.
18
And I feel like I found it out my purpose.
19
And I just want people to be encouraged by that.
20
Be inspired by that.
21
You know, that, hey, maybe I lost my purpose.
22
Or maybe I don't know what my purpose is.
23
But just that word is so important in life.
24
Just have something to reach for and have that purpose.
25
I don't know.
26
I just platformed you so much.
27
Yeah.
28
What is your purpose?
29
I think my purpose is inspired.
30
I use my platform to help people because people want people to win when they're making an effort to themselves.
31
Before I wasn't making an effort to win, so I'm sweating myself and I'm feeling like I was unrelatable.
32
People love vulnerability.
33
People love you.
34
You're telling that you're a human and you're like, you're making stuff and you're asking and you're...
35
It's just related.
36
You're strength in vulnerability here, right?
37
Yeah.
38
You're strength in you coming out and explaining how vulnerable you are.
39
Yeah, that's right.
40
And how open you are.
41
That's true.
42
And it takes a lot as a man too to be able to set that tied up and not...
43
And because for a while I was just like, you don't know.
44
I'm sorry, you don't feel like it's weak.
45
Yeah.
46
A lot of times when you go, like your emotions, you feel weak.
47
People tell you that's weak and you cry.
48
I'm like, I'm a really emotional type.
49
So, I'm like, I'm someone who's really open with my emotions and for a while I felt like I couldn't be,
50
and I felt so guarded that I wasn't being able to be my people.
51
A lot of celebrities and a lot of people lose their ability to communicate with normal people.
52
And it's because they're just a point where they don't have to engage
53
and respect someone else's facts and respect because it's all about them
54
and people around them and laughing at jokes that aren't funny.
55
Yes, yes, yes.
56
And I had those people around so I know.
57
I thought, oh, I must be the funniest dude ever because everyone's always laughing at everything I'm saying.
58
But it got to the point where I was like, I just feel like I'm so happy.
59
All these people smiling around me and making me feel like I'm fake.
60
I'm not fake, but I feel like I'm fake.
61
God is fake and love with I love you first regardless of what you do rather than
62
if you do that for me, I love you.
63
Does that make sense?
64
He loves you no matter what.
65
Yeah, it doesn't mean you can go do what you want, but it's like you develop a relationship with God so that you don't want to do that other stuff.
66
You don't want to be just me.
67
You don't want to hurt people because you're like, oh, I love you.
68
But when it's about religion and about the works and about all this other stuff, it's just kind of irrelevant.
69
As soon as I could understand my work and knew that, like, hey, people aren't giving me what I need.
70
Like, you know, people are always wanting something.
71
I can never tell if something's really authentic, but when I really put it in my room and in my room and I can just say, God, are you there?
72
Like, I feel the connection with something like I had you.
73
It's just, when the picture was doing perfect things, it just took an easy goal.
74
Like, I think it's happening.
75
I think, you know, sometimes, you know, sometimes, you know, you know, you know, as challenges come at us in all shapes and sizes,
76
you know, sometimes it's reflecting on the blessings in our life that get us through those chapters.
77
And so, yeah, sometimes it's like, you know, if someone who I'm going, you know, is going through some stuff and I'm dealing with whatever issues I'm dealing with on a day -to -day,
78
like thinking back to, you know, wow, like I I prayed for a wife.
79
I wanted, you know, that consistency in my life.
80
And here I have this beautiful blessing in my life that often can just be overlooked because we're just, you know, living together day by day.
81
And, you know, challenges come up and insecurities come up
82
and you start to kind of take for granted the person that is with you.
83
But if you can remember like, hey, I prayed for this moment.
84
I prayed for this person.
85
Here they are.
86
I think just becoming an adult and realizing what is really important in this life.
87
And, you know, if I'm going to continue to do this thing that I'm doing, releasing music and facing the scrutiny that comes with it,
88
you know, what is my reason?
89
What is my why?
90
Why am I continuously putting myself on the line to be criticized? and,
91
you know, there has to be an ultimate goal that far exceeds the painful reality of people's opinions.
92
So I think for me, that is identifying my why.
93
Here I have this opportunity to go to the studio and make something with this gift that I've been given.
94
You know, I don't have the gift of, you know, I didn't really, I don't have much of an education.
95
So it's like, but I do have one gift and that's to make music.
96
And so if I can use that to bring people some sort of rest
97
and reprieve and escape from their day -to -day struggle, that's ultimately what I want to do.
98
And I think a lot of artists, they have their own whatever their reason or their meaning is behind their stuff.
99
But for me, I want to just be in the people business
100
and I want to keep connecting with culture and as long as people want to hear from me,
101
then I want to continue to give them records and content and whatever that looks like.
102
And so, like, I want to keep evolving with the times
103
and I want to keep being connected to what people are into
104
and I just want to continue to grow as an artist and and give people what they want,
105
but also make sure that it is connected and makes sense to what I'm going through and that kind of whole thing.

Who Should Watch This Video for Language Learning?
This video is perfect for intermediate English learners ready to level up their speaking practice. If you want to sound more natural—like a real person, not a textbook—this conversation is gold. It’s full of casual, heartfelt speech, making it ideal for practicing everyday fluency. Whether you’re working on expressing emotions or talking about personal growth, the relatable topics will keep you engaged while you learn.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
The video is packed with useful phrases that native speakers use. Here are a few to add to your toolkit:
- Life smashes you in the face: When life is really tough or unexpected bad things happen. Example: "After losing my job, I felt like life had smashed me in the face, but I kept going."
- Writer's block: When you can’t think of what to write or create. Example: "I’ve had writer’s block all week—even a simple email feels hard!"
- Guarded: Closed off or not showing your true feelings. Example: "She’s guarded at first, but once she trusts you, she opens up."
- Strength in vulnerability: Being open about your weaknesses makes you stronger. Example: "Sharing my fears with my friend showed me there’s strength in vulnerability."
How to Get the Accent Right (and Practice Speaking)
Justin Bieber’s speech is conversational, with a relaxed tone—great for pronunciation practice. Focus on his natural pauses and emotional intonation when he talks about tough times or finding purpose. To nail it, try the shadowing technique: play a short clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, mimicking his rhythm and stress. Notice how he shortens words like "you’re" to "you’re" (not over-enunciating) and how his voice softens when he’s being vulnerable. This will help you sound more natural in your own speaking practice. Don’t worry about being perfect—just focus on matching the feeling and flow. Over time, you’ll start to use these patterns without thinking!
Whether you’re into personal growth or just want to improve your English, this video is a fun way to practice. Grab your phone, hit record, and start shadowing—you’ll be surprised how much your fluency improves!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
