Welcome to episode 208 with Carl and Laura Lentz, the former pastors of Hillsong New York. Their story made headlines in 2020, but it was the beginning and not the end. The Lentzes' story is an incredible redemption arc of surrender, choosing wholehearted redemption, forgiveness, and returning Jesus to the center, rather than hiding in shame, reaction, or bitterness. In everything we do, Christ is the foundation: for our children, our communities, our lives, and the Kingdom of God. In an era of divorce and choosing personal happiness over the marriage covenant, this episode is an important reminder of healing and discovering the reward of a love that lasts.
