Luke Bryan shared how his faith has shaped his life and career. The country music star mentioned that attending church and his faith had a massive impact on him. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what Luke Bryan said about how faith and church were instrumental in forming and influencing the person he is today.

It's impossible to have a sturdy, safe, structurally sound building without first laying a solid foundation. It’s the foundation upon which everything else rests. So, it makes sense that if the foundation of one’s life is not solid, the rest of their life will not be either, and will likely shatter and crumble under any kind of pressure or stress.

Of course, Jesus also used a house’s foundation to make this same point in Matthew. Those who lay a good foundation of obeying Christ’s words and having faith in Him are comparable to someone who builds their life on the rock. When the storms of life come, they will stand firm because they have chosen wisely to listen and trust in Him. However, those who choose otherwise, with their foundation being built on something else, will not be able to stand when those storms arrive.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the American Idol judge shared how important attending church and playing music were in his formative years. He said he lived so close to his church that he could step out of his house, throw a baseball and hit it.

“Waking up and Sunday mornings, and hearing the Gospel, and hearing, just hearing a Southern Baptist preacher deliver the sermon really shaped a lot of things in my life,” Luke said. “And really being able to sing in the choir and then going to church and sing in youth groups on Wednesday nights, and stuff like that, I mean, it really, it really shaped me as a young person, a young man and a young singer.”

He said that he would perform the songs he had learned and sang in church in other venues while trying to make a name for himself in the music world.
