In our country, the human on the left has a different reality than the human on the right. This in inarguable. Its not because the one on the right, my son, has more value than Ahmaud Arbery. He does not. Its because in our country, we have let power structures exist that make your race or color a factor in whether you get to live or die, get justice or nothing even close to that. Its evil. Its tired. Its inexcusable. Its shameful that a black man can get MURDERED while jogging at the hands of white men with weapons and without forceful protest and objection, not be held immediately accountable. That may happen now, but it should not have to happen at all. May righteous indignation be our focus. May peace on earth, be our portion. I will fight the temptation to be discouraged and i will cling to the hope that together, we will see change in our country. #occupyallstreets
17 years of marriage, today! I remember being told “the only competition you should have in your marriage, is who can serve each other better.” When our marriage is strong, that theme is protected and valued. When our marriage has struggled, that theme has been distant… and thats because “Serving” is not a word that we instantly gravitate towards because it involves putting yourself, your needs, your opinions second. The catch is, if two people are both doing that at the same time? This amazing relationship begins to flourish, in the middle.. thats always been our story, that we are currently still writing. @lauralentz you are the best part of my life. We are getting older! Ha. But I think we are getting better, together.. you are easy to love….HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GIRL…i love you!
“What’s it all about?” Justice. Love. Mercy. We can all agree on that… black lives matter! @pastorkhart @jkelsey love y’all.. not pictured @chrisdurso but that boy STAYS IN THESE STREETS! God bless @saintschurchny and all they put their hands to!! #occupyallstreets oh PS: @jasonwilliams55 you have been about this fight, figured you wouldn’t mind! #fortheculture
The pandemic and all of its challenges are legit. But I have been so grateful for the extended, almost constant time with this little man. We have had time to laugh together, hang together, annoy each other and also learn from each other. That last one there, is major. As a dad, its our job to be somebody these little men can “look up to.” Ive realized that includes apologizing when they do look up, and see something inconsistent with what they have been told. I told a young dad recently that one of the most powerful things you can do as a dad, is own mistakes and apologize. It doesnt weaken your authority, it deepens it. We are bound to make mistakes as parents, especially WHILE QUARANTINED, because..kids are irritating. But also incredible! And its good to know that God is so gracious, He can even use our losses as wins in the parental bigger picture. Much love to all the parents out there tonight tryin to keep it together, lord help us all! Your doing better than you think you are, that is for sure.. #occupyallstreets #cantteachyourkidswhatyoudontdourself also @heisabrand love this bag, thank you!
Our marriage is a miracle and an example of God’s grace and redemptive power. AND…Laura and I have realized that redemption in a situation like this doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes, it means someone who has been betrayed leaves and never looks back to stay healthy. Marriage can become an idol, which is dangerous. People who make the hard choice to walk away from a toxic marriage may feel like failures, but that’s simply not true. Laura is a hero to me, not because she stayed with me, but because she prioritized her health and relationship with God. I’m grateful that included me and our marriage! But for us, the goal is not just a shiny marriage—it’s healthy lives. A healthy marriage is a byproduct of that. I love and support marriage; it’s a great and godly thing. But Jesus didn’t die for marriage. He died for people. Our culture sometimes prioritizes preserving marriage over the individuals in it, which is wrong. I will celebrate my marriage with no apologies and never take a sunset photo for granted. If you’ve been through betrayal and heartbreak and your story didn’t include a sunset picture, you are not “less than.” There will be more sunsets in your future, with someone safe and healthy. Nothing should rob you of your joy or your relationship with God. If anyone shamed you for doing what’s right to save your soul, remember: their opinion doesn’t matter, but you do. All our roads are broken, yet they can still lead to beauty. #LIGHTSon p.s. @kickingitwithkutch appreciate you!

Finished our 3 week “get your mind right” journey last Sunday. Talked about what it means to be “renewed” and why what we think about drastically impacts what we care about. If we dont think about people in need, if we dont think about things like racism and injustice, if we never think about “others” we will never feel the compassion that can truly fuel change. Matthew 9:36 paints this picture so powerfully.. You can check out the the link to that message and all Hillsong East Coast happenings in my bio.. and tomorrow will be a special Sunday! Hope you can join us! #occupyallstreets
Fav part is a random @kanekeatinge cameo…
Hope you can join us tomorrow, HILLSONG EAST COAST YOUTUBE!! It will be informative and hopefully, transformative.. #hoperemains #changestartsatHOME oh PS: @rafaeldasilva you are a blessing.. NYC BORN AND BRED and I’m glad I’m in this fight with you…
@milesmcpherson is a leader of leaders. His father was a cop, his son is a cop. So please don’t believe the divisive narrative that if you speak up and out against racism or injustice, this makes you “anti police.” There MUST BE A BETTER WAY THAN “US VS. THEM.” Also @milesmcpherson FEEL FREE TO RUN FOR ANY OFFICE. “The field is really slim.” #occupyallstreets
These are confusing times, my friends! Let’s pray this week for our government, people in leadership, anybody who has a voice to help lead us through this pandemic…NYC is all over the place right now with what’s allowed, not allowed, mask/no mask.. in all this disagreement, we can all agree WISDOM IS NEEDED! @nygovcuomo @nycmayor big week ahead, praying for you. #occupyallstreets PS: @lauralentz I love you, even if you get our government figures mixed up.
