Luke Bryan has always found comfort in his faith and the values he learned in his small hometown, which have helped him deal with the pressures of being a famous person.

After the latest episode of "American Idol" aired on Monday, the famous country singer and judge on the show shared his thoughts on the importance of the night's theme, which was about faith, and how it resonated with him on a personal level.

"It's great to have a platform like this where these young singers can perform songs that are meaningful to them," Bryan said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "I think the people watching at home really appreciate this kind of night and can enjoy it with their families, listening to songs that inspire and uplift them. What's better than spending time with your loved ones and watching a night of music that brings people together and strengthens their faith? I love it."

Bryan, who sang "Jesus Is Love" with fellow judge Lionel Richie during the live episode on Monday, said that he often relies on his upbringing to get through the tough times that come with being a celebrity.

"I was a kid who sang in the Baptist church choir," he said. "When you spend a lot of time in church and learn about your faith and what you believe in, it's what you have to hold onto to get through the ups and downs of life. I mean, when you think about all the challenges you face, it takes faith and the belief in a higher power to get through it all. So, faith has been a big part of my life since I was a kid singing in the Baptist Church, and we heard a lot of sermons about it. It's been ingrained in my mind to be strong in my faith for many years."

"I think the values I learned in my small town, the work ethic, and what I learned from my family, neighbors, and church have stayed with me throughout my life and help me navigate its challenges. That's why I don't hesitate to go back home, attend a fish fry, and get my feet dirty in the Georgia mud," he added.

"Looking back, I'm proud of the journey I've taken to get where I am today. I had planned to move to Nashville when I was 20, but my brother passed away, and I think I would have handled it differently if I were younger and less mature. When I moved to Nashville at 25, I was better at reading people and navigating the music industry," he shared.
