FILE - Carl Lentz appears during an interview on Oct. 23, 2017, in New York. Lentz, the pastor from global megachurch Hillsong, who once ministered to Justin Bieber and a bevy of other celebrities and sports stars, has been fired. He acknowledged on Instagram that he cheated on his wife.
The leader of HillsongNYC, who once ministered to Justin Bieber and a bevy of other celebrities and sports stars, wrote: “When you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real consequences. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that.”
Brian Houston, a global senior pastor and founder of Hillsong, said in a message to the church’s East Coast congregants Wednesday that Lentz was fired “following ongoing discussions in relationship to leadership issues and breaches of trust, plus a recent revelation of moral failures.”
People still believe in the bedtime story known as the bible? 🤣🤣🤣 Idiotic sheep ...
InSpiteOfTrump With a nice man I hope.
Same guy who sold his 1.6million McMansion before he got sacked uh ohhh 😮
Classic Christian behavior, am I right?
Pastors are people just like the rest of us, we’re all capable of cheating & lying. Imagine how much harder it is to not only confess to your wife & family but to have to do that on a world stage with thousands watching it all play out & making their own judgements. CarlLentz
So the wife now has a cheating husband who is jobless. Could have handled it better
Crazy crazy but I’m not surprised
1Obefiend The thumbnail looks like a cult leader i ready to kill with my bat and truck in Far Cry 5, then i ready to help some stupid farmer with his water irrigation.
that awkward moment when God still used King David, and what was between him and God, was between him and God.
How quickly we forget that pastors are human too but go off..
Well duh, why do you think The View had him on the show, they wanted to find the worst example of a Christian they could to portray them in the worst light possible to their gullible audience
Rev. Jimmy Swagger all over again! I have sinned against my flock😭 please forgive me, then he goes out and does it again! Can u forgive me twice? Please😩
Tske out ALL the garbage!
Not surprising lol
A “celebrity pastor”😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
So sad
If he had not been fired ppl would’ve complained and said why is a cheater leading a church and bc he was fired ppl are complaining the church didn’t show him forgiveness. Forgiveness & accountability can coexist. Also, pastors are not perfect. They sin too.
Oh well 😂😂😂 🎶High the road Jack and don’t you come back no more no more no more no more, hit throat Jack and don’t you come back no more🎶 🧤🧤
Evangelist in “do as I say, not as I do” shock 😂
Who cares
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Grade A grifter.
Hillsong is a religious cult, stop calling it otherwise
Not condoning what he did as right at all...but he is human & this mistake cost him his career & family. People cheat all the time..(Brad Pitt, Garth Brooks, etc) especially those that are successful cos money can’t buy happiness & he just became poor from a poor choice.
Of course that’s what good religious people do ask Trump.
Horrible. And a horrible reflection on Christianity. Hillsong's music is one of the most popular amongst Christians.
“People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.” — J. C. Ryle
Good job sir, oh and you look like David Koresh.
Heretic
We call it Jim Baker disease
Christnity in America is anyway Christianity Lite church going in decline for decades and few follow the sayings of the bible.its now only belt no Bible.
Oops, somebody forgot about God.
parknfly07 they all do ...they preach to be faithful but then they go and cheat on their wives they all do it
🙄
He really looks like David Koresh in this picture
Another Scumbag!
Good.
MelAnalyst Scott Morrison is ok with that
I think we all know that these 'evangelicals' are just in it for the dollars. Not for God, not for the people just plain and simple to earn money of innocent people.
Lentz was only in it for the money and power. Nothing real about him... move on.
Selling fairytales comes back to haunt you
The Bible says that is It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. And so this man is suffering the consecuences of what he did!
Mega douchebag
😔
Of course, they always come out as cheaters or secretly gay
Who cares
Just look at him like is anybody actually surprised? 😂
God wanted it to be this way
Do not put your faith in a person, They will almost always let you down. Put your faith in Christ, he will lead you home!
Shocking!
DirtyRottenCK
Of course 🙄 Pharisees mean much?!!
They love to cheat, steal, and lie. The leaders of these mega churches are almost always people who have been “saved” from themselves, but it doesn’t last because they fall into an ego trap. Tax these fuckers.
They used to have other names for people in this profession carpet bagger con men. Grifter conning you with a tale asking you to send or give them money praying on the weak and gullible putting crazy tells in your head that have zero to do with reality
rolandsmartin Why do people act like church officials are supposed to be perfect? Did that change who he was as a person to everybody? Church is overrated, and hypocritical! What happened to forgivenesses? Yea, that part!
and here you go ai_bon98
Go figure another morally corupt christian keep believing in the scam sheeples
Anticristo
The more interesting question is with who. Ahem.
davidpsdem Funny how they are always up for adultery.
Gee whiz. Yet another hypocrite religious leader? It's almost as if this is becoming a pattern.
I didn’t know the kid from “Married With Children” became a megapastor!🤔
Last time I checked - wasn't that a sin? Another fraud evangelical.
Should have gotten a pool boy for that.
rolandsmartin So we can’t extend grace? Why does the church do this.
Hahaha. I would have never guessed. Oh wait, yes I would
And this is why I don’t subscribe to religion, they think they’re better than atheists yet I never cheated on anyone or broken any laws of morals or ethics
Lol... people still get fired for this stuff
Sad. Very sorry to hear. Praying for his family.
Homophobe. Trumper. Hypocrate.
Yeah but, Bill Clinton...
Interesting reading the comments how many people think being Christian is about being perfect. We're Christians because we're not perfect. Far... FAR... from it. But there was one who was. Jesus Christ. In him, we imperfect people, find salvation.
Poster boy for hipsters and millennials.
I want to know why they hold this pastor to a higher standard than the president.
pride cometh before the fall
all these ministers are scumbags
All he needs to do is tell people that he’s a lost sheep and they’ll all forgive him ChristianLogic
Real question: how does one start a megachurch
Imagine calling a ‘church’ Hillsong...
Another evangelical on the road to HEdouble hockey sticks.
20 bucks days he’s a Trump supporter.
Who is not shocked
Shocker. Mega church minister commits adultery.
Shit, that was the guy with the badass BlackLivesMatter video. Z
I mean just look at him
Oh my gosh nooooo.
They just say sorry and the slate is clean.... Pweh (ptooey)! Conservatives on the streets, degenerates in the sheets.
So now he'll have to start paying taxes and alimony?
Exactly how many Mega Church pastors haven't? The number is in single digits...
Such hypocrites.
And, um, he cheated on god. hypocrisy
Never trust anyone who wears prison issue style glasses
Hypocrisy has ample wages!
I thought that was one of the perks of being a mega church pastor. They all get: Huge house Fleet of cars Access to private jet A mistress Gay massages To snort coke off the Bible A day pass to Mar-A-Lago
😂🤣😂. Sorry. Can’t contain my laughter when a minister to the “stars” is brought down.
Oh gee... wow... who could have seen this coming for the 94,587,281,068,249th time in the history of the Church?
Classy
Growing up going to church.. this is way more common than people think.
Always...never fails
Who could've seen this coming?
I'm surprised they would fire him for this. Isn't the normal route to dn the TV circuit and cry until you're forgiven?
gg bro
Guess he should have been president, he wouldn’t have lost his. Well trump is going to but you get the point.
I hope thetrillbillies are covering this.
Shame on u 😤
Oh look. Another “Christian.”
He did a Tiger Woods when he should have Derek Jetered
Where's the forgiveness?
Don't they always?
It's what happens when you think you're hip, slick and too cool for school and want to also be a minister. Lol.
Aren’t these the same people sponsoring hyper partisan religious minded political candidates to immobilize the institution of government?
Liberal pre-selection imminent.
Jesus thinks you’re a jerk.
Most of these people are frauds, only in America they keep fooling the sheep.
Damn Jesus couldn’t help you
I guess he can be President now
Of course he did, look at him...
I'm shocked. (not really)
Only surprising part to this is that he didn’t cheat with a guy
God likes strange pussy
Was she hot
Hypocrite
Somehow this is more important.
