Carl Lentz was ousted from Hillsong Church in 2020 after an alleged affair with members within congregation. At the time, he admitted his infidelity on social media.
Carl addressed the allegations in the docuseries:"I am responsible for allowing an inappropriate relationship to develop in my house with someone that worked for us," Lentz said, before adding"any notion of abuse is categorically false."
He noted,"There were mutual adult decisions made by two people who lied profusely, mainly to my wife. It's an issue because I was a boss, this person was an employee. I'm responsible for that power dynamic and the management of it and the wisdom that goes with it, and I failed absolutely miserably." Almost two years after posting about the infidelity, Lentz broke his social media silence and shared that his family is"at peace and thanks to the grace of God we are together."
He recently wrote that his entire focus the last three years has been"fighting for my wife and my kids. In order to do that, seeking sobriety and healing had to run parallel with those goals."noted that there's a"long way to go, with a lot of work, a lot of honesty and a lot of prayer," but Carl and Laura celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
