But the famous sisters got criticism on social media after their recent comments.
“Reading the Bible is one thing. Living it is another,” said one person on Instagram.
“Maybe the reason people are so surprised is because the fruit of their lives doesn’t match what they are saying,” said another.
Kourtney says ‘I will pray for you’ to people doubting her faith
Kourtney defended her faith.
“It’s very odd how many questions or side eyes are coming from people who claim they believe in Jesus Christ,” Kourtney wrote on Instagram. “It’s sad to observe but NO ONE will throw me off of my journey. In fact, I will pray for you.”
“We have always been open about our love for Jesus Christ,” said the mother and wife of Travis Barker, the drummer of Blink-182. “I have been His child for all my life. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Always has been. I wouldn’t have survived if I didn’t have Him to rely on. My relationship with the Lord is not up for debate.”
