Singer Katy Perry, had a ton of Livestream events over the weekend to promote the release of her new album, Witness.  On  Saturday during a live therapy session the singer discussed her Christian upbringing and the reason behind her song “By The Grace Of God”

Perry  teared up when recalling that she was shielded from a lot in her childhood because of her religious upbringing, and is now in therapy with her parents.

“I didn’t really hear them and I’m trying to listen for that more and hold a space and have compassion for them and love them in an authentic way because it wasn’t always easy because we have very different viewpoints. Now we agree to disagree in a loving space,” Perry shared.

She also talked about a low point in her life after she split with her ex-husband, Russell Brand, and battled thoughts of suicide. She admitted channeling her feelings into her 2013 song, “By the Grace of God,” which talks about God intervening.

“I feel ashamed that I would have those thoughts, feel that low and that depressed,” the singer revealed.

“I wrote that song ‘By the Grace of God’ because I do believe in something much bigger than me and I call that God for me. I get to live this wonderful life and I’ve been given this gift, I know that God has His hand on me, and I know sometimes I go through things and they’re just too intense and I can’t handle them and then He swoops in and He shows me that it’s His grace that brings me through it.”
