Justin Bieber Bonds With Pastor Carl Lentz's Family Before Thanksgiving

Ok, so maybe Justin Bieber really is serious about this whole religious awakening, because on Wednesday the pop superstar spent the day with pastor Carl Lentz's family.
The 20-year-old singer posted the above photo with Lentz's daughter and wrote, "Made a snowman with this little cutie. Make memories with the ones you love! #HappyThanksgiving." It's not clear where Bieber was on Thursday, but seeing as he's Canadian and their Thanksgiving was last month, it doesn't appear as though the Biebs had any big plans. And he certainly wasn't with Selena Gomez -- she was with her friends and family in Texas.
Bieber and Lentz, who preaches at Hillsong Church in New York City, have been friends for 6 years now, and the two have been spending quite a bit of time together. Earlier this month it was reported that Bieber was on a mission to learn how to spread the word of God, and while he was supposed to spend two weeks with Lentz, it seems like he came home early.
Still, if Biebs looks to Lentz as a role model, that's going to help him get back on track. After a number of legal problems over the last few years (not to mention his relationship with Gomez becoming tabloid fodder), he could certainly benefit from cleaning up his act.
"I have a special role in Justin’s life, spiritually," Lentz told the New York Post recently. "But I’m not a life-motivational guy. We’re talking about making sure his life remains a blessing, not a burden." OK then!
