Caption : Our time at HillsongNYC has come to an end. This is a hard ending to what has been the most amazing, impacting and special chapter of our lives. 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. When you accept the calling of being a pastor, you must live in such a way that it honors the mandate. That it honors the church, and that it honors God. When that does not happen, a change needs to be made and has been made in this case to ensure that standard is upheld. 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 you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real and painful consequences. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that. This failure is on me, and me alone and I take full responsibility for my actions. 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. 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 would have liked to say this with my voice, to you, in person because you are owed that. But that opportunity I will not have. So to those people, I pray you can forgive me and that over time I can live a life where trust is earned again. 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. Thank you for your grace and kindness especially in this season, as you have done so much to protect and love us through this. 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..Likes : 146298

Caption : 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. #occupyallstreetsLikes : 72366

Caption : Hopeful that the arrests made in the GEORGE FLOYD MURDER will turn into convictions. Also apprehensive, because it’s simply not the precedent. Please be aware that BREONNA TAYLOR’s MURDER has zero arrests or convictions attached to it…so we will continue to make our voices heard. @hillsongnyc we will be participating in a peaceful protest on Saturday at 1pm in HARLEM. Joining with some other local churches to do all we can. Details to come closer to the day but please save that date now, we need you there!! #occupyallstreetsLikes : 40907

Caption : 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!Likes : 39440

Caption : Fresh attempt #3. I deleted my last photo, because to some that image of another man dying on our streets was actually causing more pain. To those people, I am sorry. To @janayhsalcedo I’m sorry for initially pushing back on your perspective and I’m learning as I go. One thing I do know, I’d rather fail and apologize and learn then play it safe and silent and scared. *************** So back to the point of all three posts, as I think of George Floyds daughter and her mother today: Please be mindful today, that the other three men that murdered GEORGE FLOYD, ARE STILL FREE. This is not going to go away. To the people trying to demonize others, for speaking out against racial injustice and police brutality, you will not win. To the people who are more concerned with politically correct photos and statements, than they are RACISM DESTROYING GENERATIONS in our world, you will not win. Save your comments, search your heart. Drop your old, tired way of thinking and renew your mind. This makes you uncomfortable, and I’m glad. We have all been too comfortable for too long. For the people in the way back: demanding greater accountability of our police, IMMEDIATELY, demanding justice for all, IMMEDIATELY, does not make a single person anti-police. Countless GOOD police men and women are yelling THE SAME THING. You just dont want to heart that. I’m not going to bring that FACT up again, personally. Your narrative is tired, its wrong and it is one of the factors that has perpetuated this exact thing. Its made people, its made “pastors” afraid to speak out. That day is done. Looting helps nothing. Violence, is not the way forward. The loss of ANY LIFE, any police officer is devastating and absolute tragic. It is also NO MORE DEVASTATING THEN FREDDIE GRAY. OR SANDRA BLAND. OR GEORGE FLOYD. LETS BE EQUALLY OUTRAGED. Peaceful, passionate and constant protest is what has and will continue to turn this country and its deeply rooted injustice towards BLACK PEOPLE upside down. I pray we will never be comfortable ever again, until we see basic human dignity and equality for all people.Likes : 26391

Caption : 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!Likes : 25589

Caption : 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!Likes : 23222

Caption : Today, marks 65 years since the murder of EMMIT TILL. He was a 14 year old boy who was kidnapped, beaten, mutilated and murdered by two white men. He was falsely accused of “whistling” at a white woman. The two men charged with his murder were acquitted by a jury who deliberated less than an hour. Before her death, the woman who accused him admitted she lied and recanted her story. Some believe Emmits murder was the true catalyst for the civil rights movement in america. To understand where our country currently is, we have to understand where it’s BEEN. Today in washington, thousands have gathered to march, to protest, to demand racial justice and police reform. For as much progress our country has made, the current pain and desperation and exasperation of so many citizens should motivate us all keep pushing. My prayer is that we can trade “progress” for radical upheaval and meaningful, supernatural, permanent CHANGE. If I was not a follower of Jesus, I would be doubtful and discouraged. But because I am? I remain passionately hopeful.. #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #BLACKLIVESMATTERLikes : 22437

Caption : DAD!! @slentz Happy Father’s Day! Your the greatest man I’ve ever known and I have so much to be accountable for because God allowed me to be your son. Everything I do well, or try to do well, I got from you. Especially how to love people where they are, rather than waiting to love them until they become who they can be or even who we want them to be. When this photo was taken, I felt so far from Jesus. I was running the opposite way, making bad decisions. But that smile you had there is the exact same smile you give me today. You have loved me in every season of this life unconditionally and I just can’t imagine this life without you. I love you, I honor you, and still at 41 I’m trying to be like you. Thank you for showing me the way, every day. #MYDAD #thegreatestofalltimeLikes : 18129

Caption : FAITHFUL FRIEND FRIDAY.. Its easy to take great things in this life, for granted. Especially in relationships, we tend to give attention and time to what is a problem and don’t adequately thank or acknowledge people in our lives that ARE ACTUALLY HELPFUL AND CONSISTENT! Birthdays and holidays cant be the only time we let ppl know they are loved. I think #faithfulfriendfriday should be a thing. So today, I want @anthonypjdavis to know how much I love him! The first 3 people I met when we landed in Brooklyn over 10 years ago were @deeveekashi @djclue (who I thought was R&B legend Ginuwine, initially) and @anthonypjdavis in that order. Thankfully all 3 are still family to me and PJ is one of the most loyal, low maintenance, creative, deeply compassionate people I have ever known. He is “true New York” born and raised in QUEENS and has taught me, “true VIRGINIA” so much about this city and the people in it over the years. He also saved my life one night at a club, but that story is for another day! Thank you PJ, for being a faithful friend. I love and appreciate you and this family is better because of you.. If you have a faithful friend, tag them on this, call them, thank them for being just that. Life is way to short, to withhold thanks and appreciation from anybody.. #occupyallstreets #faithfulfriendfriday OH ALSO!!! Thanks to @michellespalafox the legend for capturing these photos from a special day where we marched for Peace and said things like “BLACK LIVES MATTER”. You know, the sentence that means “BLACK LIVES MATTER” and is not owned by any particular group or organization, perfectly reasonable and logical to say, no matter how many people try to convince you that somehow saying this sentence makes you a marxist endorsing, anti police, left leaning liberal loving, demonically powered and politically motivated activist pseudo warrior. It does not. Those people have always been wrong, and saying “BLACK LIVES MATTER” will always matter. #blacklivesmatterLikes : 17561

Caption : One month of LIGHTS ON! 🔦 Thank you for the support and love and encouragement for this podcast. It means a lot to us, really didn’t know what to expect! Thank you to the @bside_app team that has worked so hard to help produce something that matters! Tomm episode is one I wasn’t going to use because it felt too vulnerable.. but after some further thought (and some safety edits lol) the feedback we have gotten is that it’s helpful to see how our family is processing some things. This convo with @avaangellentz @charliejaynelentz covers a lot. Including how to build trust again in your family after that trust is broken so badly.. a lot of families have to go through this to some degree, perhaps our experience as we know it can help you navigate your own… in short for us: NO. FAMILY. SECRETS! Episode drops tomm, hope it’s helpful!Likes : 15900

Caption : Juneteenth: BLACK INDEPENDENCE DAY. ..this day needs to hold as much significance for all Americans as it does black Americans. Before this year, Ive heard from many people that had no idea this day even existed or mattered at all. That sheds light on our selective American history and where our culture places honor. On sunday @hillsongnyc we will take a moment to talk about this day and that is a good thing. The problem is that its the first time we have ever done that. Which makes what we say, that black lives matter, inconsistent with what we do or in this case have done. And when you find hypocrisy, intended or not, in your church or your government or your life you only have two options: own it and change it, or ignore it and explain it away. I know what I’m choosing! What a painful yet amazing time for all us, to change for the better. BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY. #occupyallstreetsLikes : 14297
