Disgraced pastor Carl Lentz speaks about his healing journey

[@oliviabrown261]

Grace and redemption. We all fall down but through God's grace, we can get up again. No one lives in a glass house. A person who has gone through the fire and overcome it has a testimony. I wish his family continued healing, health, progress, and love.

[@marvintillis8136]

God is a God restoration. I know from experience.

[@marvintillis8136]

God's grace restore people and bring them back .

[@Stephtheencourager]

WE all fall short!

[@B.A.B.G.]

Yes and we all are adulterers, addicts, liars and bad publicity for Christ etc. right?

[@danmacarthur8944]

Well, that's obvious, but the main question here is why are Christian leaders scandalizing the Church. What about Christian organizational behavior and structure makes it easy for leaders to sin in predatory ways and get protected by their congregations? This is a serious matter all the Church in America must rally around to STOP.

[@marvintillis8136]

He that is without sin among us let him cast the first stone.

[@DaphTuks]

He is not disgraced. He is a human being who made many mistakes he will shoulder for life. His mistakes just happened to be public

[@bradenrogers3317]

Thank you 🙏 amen

[@morningdevotionswithnickpe436]

Lord bless and heal this man

[@shaysceneftl]

Praying so but that he would continue to do so in humbling, unpublished unseen consumption- Only God knows

[@ericmurray948]

I am so glad to see some of the perfect people in these comments who act as if they have never made a mistake (big or small). Yes this man failed but no one has the right to talk against the work him and his family have done to restore.

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

He did not just fail or made a mistake.. he should have never been a pastor to begin with and also i dont see real repentence

[@ericmurray948]

@@danielabatabogdanov8586 failing and making a mistake (SIN) is exactly what he did. To say he should have never been a pastor seems like bold statement but its your opinion. What would be your definition of "real" repentance?

[@carolynnkingyens1000]

A repeated pattern is not a mistake. A lot of wolves in sheep clothing migrate to churches because of this mindset along with cognitive dissonance. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit.

[@Sunshine26762]

@@danielabatabogdanov8586in your view, what is real repentance?

[@BrooklynBaby100]

His wife is so such an awesome Aussie woman. Real tough and salt of the earth. These demons seek to destroy anything that is beautiful. 😡 🤬

[@lilibethvilella]

Healing is possible. Published a book myself as a pastor on finding true WHOLENESS after divorce called “THE SUN ALWAYS PIERCES THROUGH”

[@danmacarthur8944]

So when is he ever going to step back from the limelight, making things always about him and let Jesus step forward? What will it take?

[@georgevanzandbergen905]

1 Timothy 5:20, the Bible says that church leaders who sin should be publicly rebuked so that others may learn from their mistakes. Desiring God also suggests that public sins may require public confession and repentance. If you are saying Jesus should it be in the Bible and not what you think...Your own understanding. Also If You commited a sin or broke the law of Moses you broke them all....So nobody is better then him...

[@Smarty2able]

Let's just pray. I'm still not listening to his sermons. No theology whatsoever. Good for him if he healed but find another career. I don't think preaching was ever his thing. Sometimes they want cool people to lead and that's not ok

[@stevenjamison5896]

There is a difference between being sorry for what you did and sorry you got caught.

[@lebonthite]

I love this Journalist. He doesnt have malicious intent.

[@JocelynHairGoddess]

It’s my prayer that this man will never be able to preach the gospel again. Testify…go ahead. But he can’t lead, you cannot be a LEADER in faith when you’re not living what you preach. This man cause pain and suffering to so many people, including people who GAVE UP ON FAITH because of how he chose to abuse his position. Why can’t he just live quietly? Because he wants the money he knows he can get by manipulating people. Pray for him, pray for his family but also pray for all the people who followed him who are still broken. BECAUSE OF HIM. Have a blessed day 🙏🏽😇😁

[@soniairak80]

People like me don’t want him to live quietly, we are rooting for the Lentz family, we like a redemption story and want to know and see that they have overcome the adversities they faced 4 years ago. I know we are many, I just hope we are enough to silence the haters

[@designerkiki]

Disgraced? That was uncalled for.

[@laemaollennu3076]

Agreed! Change the title.

[@marama49cabrera57]

Pardon for this question. Is this person in a tour press? Because he is all over the internet! I'm just asking. Blessings friends 🙏🏽

[@cundie1]

THATS THE GOOD THING WITH RELIGION ,YOU CAN LIE SCHEME AND DO THE WORST THINGS AND COME BACK AND PRETEND

[@Bonnie-v9r]

I feel as his ministry increased so did his power and that is when he became invincible in his mind to do the things that he did. He only confessed because his wrong doing was coming out. There is something about him that I still do not trust.

[@honnibunnijones3277]

He should never be restored to any ministry leadership position.

[@ericmurray948]

No one said he was. He even said he wasn't.

[@AB-gz5tu]

He's so full of it. Typical church going hypocrite...

[@amber-leeseptember7481]

It doesn't matter what people think of them. The Lord loves them and is restoring their marriage and their life. We all fall short of the glory of God and God is not done with them yet. God doesn't give up on people like people do. God is merciful.

[@SoyElocoson]

God forgives and scriptures say that we can forgive also, but it has got to be tough for her, what she went through is heart breaking no matter what he went through as a child. She can heal, but she can never forget. I hope every day of his life he reminds her that she is his everything and all he needs. Putting God first, his Wife second, and Himself last.

[@LovedByYou]

None of us are God to judge, and God is gracious, so Im excited to see how the3 Lord uses him going forward.

[@KandiaHaynesworth]

Accountability partners? That’s ridiculous… what ever happened to turning to God…

[@bradenrogers3317]

Bro accountability is all throughout the Bible. The God you’re saying he should turn to would encourage Carl and us all to go others for healing (James 5)

[@marvintillis8136]

God's grace will pick you up and put your life back together again. I know.

[@sherrymeans1106]

Never heard of him! 😅

[@imsnowedn]

Id say let him be redeemed. Let him get an hourly job as a parole officer or corrections officer. Learn some character and deal with the deceivers and the perpetual sinners. But no, he wants a million dollar job teaching kids and women how to defy sin. I pray for the people who are so gullible to trust him as a leader. They need prayers before their loss.

[@marama49cabrera57]

Wow...🙌

[@autumnjade815]

They are rebranding. Bring your check books 😏

[@user-mu3xk7ie2t]

So he used religion to manage celebrities' lives, a celebrity pastor. Running around half naked in the streets with Justin Bieber.

[@SimbaRobyn]

Oh please 🙄 It’s always so convenient that god always forgives them. We all have sh!t but we don’t lie & cheat.

[@Existentialnausea]

There's zero chance I'd stay married to this guy if it were me. I know from experience these people change for a season, but only because they're caught. They're only sorry because they got caught. It's sad that he was molested as a child, but we all have a choice when we are grown. My ex was also molested as a child. I felt so bad for him, but he chose to betray me. I have forgiven him & forgotten him. But his trauma caused me trauma for several years. And he never changed. He claimed to here & there. But he didn't. I know not everyone is the same, but sexual indiscretion is permanent damage.

[@marama49cabrera57]

Blessings to you ❤🙏🏽

[@ernestineyanez5628]

Please don’t call him disgraced. You obviously didn’t listen to his podcast.

[@shamoangray2196]

It just seems like the interviewer was asking questions from a judgmental perspective verses from a place of trying to get a true understanding

[@awaitingSaint777]

Sure, do better, but he shouldn't be anywhere near any leadership role whatsoever in any church anywhere. It should take a lot more years to regain any trust. And never as a pastor. He's unfit.

Full redemption, reconciliation, and restoration from what is lost and broken, in Jesus name! Lost, broken, and sinful people having a head-on collision with the saving transforming power of Jesus Christ and in-turn leading others to the same glorious Savior and Lord. God is good and rich in mercy, more than we can fathom! Darkness to light. Let it be so for every man.

In theory but 😢 Carl is not there yet, but beautifully and eloquently said in Jesus name 🙏🏻

[@ajenekhari]

Why start this title with Disgraced?!

[@brendagula6290]

The feact that he is making his journey public is just all for show and not real. He is definitely not humble at all. Yes ge was looking out to have sex by the way he met and asked women out. For crying out loud the wife did know about his affairs and she and him should take care of this privately. If he never dealt with gis child hood traumas, he should have never been pastoring a church.

[@AmericanBuying]

He has no shame, and another addiction is fame

[@iadiramorales68]

Temptation, no matter who you are or what position you have in any Church, or beliefs, or anyone is always present, depending on your spiritual level, and peace within yourself, it’s something you can control, and have an understanding. We are all sinners, and we all walk imperfectly. Repentance is the only way….but, Jesus Christ is so amazing, he will never abandon you, no matter how deep you have gone, he will come to you!! That light 💡 that will guide you through the darkness.
