Nick Jonas Finds Faith After Fatherhood

Nick Jonas, 33, shared on the iHeartRadio "Hey Jonas!" podcast that fatherhood has deepened his connection to faith. He explained that becoming a dad inspired him to explore the central theme of his new song, "The Author," which is about the existence of a plan for one's life, regardless of religious belief. This faith-centric single, released in collaboration with Christian singer Brandon Lake, was inspired by Jonas's feeling that his life is in good hands.

Jonas also discussed Justin Bieber's recent faith-centered performance at the Coachella Music Festival. He described Bieber's public testimony as "beautiful" and highlighted Bieber's consistent approach of meeting people with compassion and love. Although Bieber's performance did not directly inspire Jonas's collaboration with Lake, which occurred in December 2025, Jonas believes such public displays of faith continue a vital conversation about love and empathy, especially during difficult global periods. He emphasized that collaborations between individuals from different walks of life can create impactful art based on both biblical truth and universal love.
