How Carl Lentz Saved His Marriage After Infidelity Destroyed His Public Life | No Magic Pill

Carl Lentz was the pastor of Hillsong New York, preaching to thousands every week and leading a movement that felt like revival. Behind the scenes, he was falling apart. In 2020, he was fired after an affair, and the life he’d spent years building collapsed in public. He thought about ending his life, until a few friends kept pushing him to just see what might be possible tomorrow. In this episode of No Magic Pill, Carl and Blake talk about the slow erosion that comes before the fall, why “active lies” wage a war with your soul that never ends, and how his time at Onsite and in rehab in Arizona showed him that no one is beyond repair. Carl shares what he and his wife Laura learned while writing their book “Overcoming Infidelity”:. That includes why “what do you need from me?” matters more than “do you forgive me?”, why forgiveness and trust are two very different things, and why ownership, not shame, is what finally sets you free. #NoMagicPill #BlakeMycoskie #CarlLentz Enough Foundation's mission is to spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.
