Barnes is a Christian. He has said, “I’m just thankful that God, you know, He won’t let go of you. I don’t think there’s any question He had me when I was young, but I let the world take me down a road and roads that I shouldn’t have gone. But I believe that once He gets a hold of you, He won’t let you go. I think He has great plans to help me become more and more like Him every day.” He has also said, “Honestly, I just think the biggest thing is that we should want to share our faith. We should want our players to understand who Jesus Christ is. They should see us living that every single day.”{{Cite web |last=Doering |first=Joshua |date=December 18, 2024 |title=Rick Barnes leads No. 1 Tennessee, wants players to 'understand who Jesus Christ is' |url=https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/basketball/2024/12/18/rick-barnes-tennessee-players-understand-jesus/ |access-date=22 March 2025 |website=Sports Spectrum}}
