I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura and my children and taking real-time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need.” Carl Lentz asked for forgiveness for cheating on wife

Lentz then said he would take responsibility for his actions and try to rebuild trust with his family: “This failure is on me, and me alone, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that.” When you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real and painful consequences. He started by stating it had been an “honor” to lead the church and that he and his family had “given all that we have to serve and build this church.”Īnd then he dropped a bombshell: “I did not do an adequate job of protecting my own spirit. Lentz took to Instagram last night, and in a lengthy post, he explained what had happened. However, those who wondered if he had cheated on his wife were bang on the money. We, the Lentz family, don’t know what this next chapter will look like, but we will walk into it together very hopeful and grateful for the grace of God.Some crazy theories were touted online, ranging from Lentz coming out as gay to having dodgy political leanings. Thank you for your grace and kindness especially in this season, as you have done so much to protect and love us through this. To our pastors Brian and Bobbie, thank you for allowing us to lead, allowing us to thrive and giving us room to have a voice that you have never stifled or tried to silence. So to those people, I pray you can forgive me and that over time I can live a life where trust is earned again. I would have liked to say this with my voice, to you, in person because you are owed that. I am deeply sorry for breaking the trust of many people who we have loved serving and understand that this news can be very hard and confusing for people to hear and process. I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura, and my children and taking real time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need. This failure is on me, and me alone, and I take full responsibility for my actions. “I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life, and held accountable for that. Laura and I and our amazing children have given all that we have to serve and build this church, and over the years I did not do an adequate job of protecting my own spirit, refilling my own soul, and reaching out for the readily available help that is available. When that does not happen, a change needs to be made and has been made in this case to ensure that standard is upheld. That it honors the church, and that it honors God. When you accept the calling of being a pastor, you must live in such a way that it honors the mandate.
Leading this church has been an honor in every sense of the word, and it is impossible to articulate how much we have loved and will always love the amazing people in this church. This is a hard ending to what has been the most amazing, impacting, and special chapter of our lives.
“Our time at HillsongNYC has come to an end. Lentz broke his silence on the news Thursday afternoon, November 5. In 2018, TMZ reported that Justin and Lentz had a falling out, though they said he and now-wife Hailey were still attending Hillsong at the time and have been spotted together on social media since. “They’ve clearly had issues in the past, so they’re receiving some guidance from Carl.” “They don’t want to repeat the same patterns as before,” a source told People in 2017. He also reportedly counseled Justin and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez during their relationship. Justin was baptized by Lentz in NBA player Tyson Chandler’s bathtub in the middle of the night ( true story!), and the pastor was his close spiritual advisor. He has never been anybody but who he has professed to be, which is a work in progress.” “He is trying to do his best to figure this out. He’s in a horribly toxic world,” Lentz told the magazine at the time. At one point in 2014, Justin Bieber moved in with Lentz and his family (which is discussed in the GQ profile as well). The singer and Pastor Carl were once very close. What’s the deal with Justin Bieber and Pastor Carl Lentz?
