(ETH) – Katy Perry who, was raised in a Christian home and with a father who is a pastor recently was interviewed by Apple Music’s Zane Lowe this past week where the pop star revealed more details about her relationship with her parents as well as expounded on her own belief system.
According to Perry: “Relationships with your parents change inevitably, doesn’t matter who you are, what amount of success you have or don’t, it shifts as your parents get older, you become a little bit more of the parent,” Perry expounded of her parents, who are both now in their 70s.
“I guess I had to make a choice a while back, I had to agree to disagree with my parents or not have parents,” Perry stated that she made that decision when she was in her 20s. It was then she stopped trying to “change their core belief system.”
Perry was raised up in a Christian home by her parents and began her singing career as a Christian artist. However, after not making it in the Christian Music industry, she began her career in pop music. Her parents, Mary and Keith Hudson who are are traveling Pentecostal ministers have expressed that they continue to pray for their daughter to live for Jesus.
“I still have extremely healthy discourse with my family, with my mother, especially, calm discourse,” Perry told Lowe. “I get to see a perspective and she sees a perspective and maybe that changes something in both of us for the better.”
In the interview, Perry elaborated more on her own spiritual journey stating: “I guess I would say that I respect that they have their own belief systems, but it does not make me feel like I have to believe that,” she continued about her parents.
“I guess my relationship with God is not based on a denomination or a specific rule set coming from the Bible or a belief system; it’s really widespread.” She went on to say that “a lot” of fundamental Christians hate the idea of her being just “spiritual” without subscribing to the core beliefs of Christianity. “I would call myself, define myself as a seeker,” Perry maintained. “I’m a complete seeker of anything faith-based, of God, a lot of different religions. I am a seeker of better human evolution.”
Katy Perry needs to seek the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Col 1:27 says that It is Christ IN ME the hope of glory. To seek God, Who is ONE God is what Katy needs to do. I am a believer in the True and Living God. In fact the God that your parents believe in IS the ONLY True and Living God. There is only ONE True God and this is HE. Please do not believe in other gods, you will be cast into the Lake of Fire if you do. Believe in the One and Only True God. Thank you, Sue
