Jelly Roll always felt as if God had a "bigger purpose" for him.
The 39-year-old country music star - whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord - has enjoyed massive success over the course of the last year with his album 'Whitsitt Chapel' and has now claimed that his faith has played a part in his achievements.
He told Fox News Digital: "It wasn't like something I did on the side. Like, it was my job. And I just always had faith that God had a bigger purpose for what I was trying to do.
"God never called the equipped. God always equipped the call. I think that I am a living manifestation of that.
"I would think that people look at me, and they see a piece of me in then. And when I have a small victory, now they're like, 'That's one for us.'
"Like, that's for, like, all the losers — all the people that still kind of live between right and wrong. That's our guy up there."
The 'Save Me' hitmaker - who has been married to podcaster Bunnie XO since 2016 - then compared himself to the biblical character Noah and revealed that his secret to a successful relationship is making sure that "communication" is a priority.
He said: "I feel like God historically is always, you know, 'Listen, Noah didn't know anything about building a boat. He had no tradesmanship in building anything, and that's who God picked to build an ark.
"Communicating with each other. Being willing to have uncomfortable conversations constantly. People miss that in relationships. It's a constant, uncomfortable conversation at times, but that's just how you continue to build and grow."
