Carrie Underwood Is Open About Her Christian Faith

Last summer, Underwood opened up to her fans about her faith as she revealed her “purpose in the world.”

“There are some not-too-great things that happen in the world and happen within families,” Underwood said. “We are all flawed and our flaws, I think, sometimes ripple out onto everybody else, but through everything, I want the people in my life that I love to know that they are loved by God. They are wanted. God wouldn’t have made any of us if He didn’t want us.”

“I feel like that’s part of my purpose in the world,” she added, becoming emotional. “No matter who you are or what you’ve done or any of it, if I could just make everybody feel that they are loved, I feel like that’s my job. God has real, unconditional love for His children.”

These days, there are very few entertainers who are as open about their Christian faith as Carrie Underwood.

God bless her for being such a good example for all of us, and we can’t wait to hear her new Christian album!
