CARL & LAURA LENTZ: Infidelity, Forgiveness & Rebuilding Their Marriage
De-Influenced with Dani + JordanShow Notes
Carl and Laura Lentz join Jordan for an honest conversation about marriage, infidelity, forgiveness, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal.
After Carl's highly publicized departure from Hillsong NYC in 2020, their family faced a painful and very public season of change. Now, Carl and Laura are opening up about the years that followed, including the decision to stay together, the role addiction played in their story, and the difficult work of healing individually and as a couple.
Laura shares why she chose to fight for their marriage, why forgiveness took years, and how they began rebuilding trust. Carl reflects on the choices that led to his downfall, taking accountability, and the lessons he's learned about faith, fame, and personal healing.
They also discuss their book, Overcoming Infidelity, and the conversations they hope will help other couples navigating betrayal.
This is a vulnerable conversation about second chances, family, faith, and what rebuilding a marriage actually looks like.

More from De-Influenced with Dani + Jordan
This week on De-Influenced, we're getting into a little bit of everything, starting with the internet having some THOUGHTS about our new house. Dani reads some of the comments surrounding a recent home update, and we get into the bigger conversation about influencer culture, money, and why people are so frustrated with what they see online.
This week on De-Influenced, Dani and Jordan are going down a few rabbit holes you won't see coming. Jordan shares why he backed out of Peter Thiel's secret Antichrist lecture after discovering where it was being held (hint: the Freemasons are involved 👀). They get into AI, spiritual warfare, and some pretty wild theories about where technology could be taking us.
This week, Dani and Jordan are questioning whether being too unfiltered on the podcast is finally catching up with them. Jordan issues an apology after his Alix Earle/Braxton Berrios “source” turns out to be… not so reliable, and they get into the weird reality of sharing honest opinions when the people you’re talking about might actually hear them.
Can you really have it all — the career, the family, the marriage, the dreams…all at the same
We have A LOT to unpack this week. Dani is officially hooked on Alix Earle’s new reality show — and somehow Jordan is too — which leads us straight into the Braxton Berrios breakup, why Dani thinks Alix may have chosen her career over the relationship, and a little piece of information Jordan has apparently been sitting on: Braxton had a ring?!
