Carl Lentz’s Wife Breaks Silence 6 Months After Husband’s Cheating Scandal: “Trolls Are Cowards. I Would Rather Be Accused of Being Too Gracious.”

It has been six months since Carl Lentz and his wife Laura Lentz were fired from Hillsong Church East Coast for Carl’s “moral failures.” During that time, Laura took a break from social media until yesterday when she opened up on Instagram for the first time. She briefly explained to her followers about the “darkest valley” of her life she’s been walking through.

So far receiving over 13k likes and many comments of support, Mrs. Lentz shared why she took a break from social media as she said, “because it was not good for my soul.” Lentz revealed that she has had to block and delete more followers and commenters than she can count. She called out those she’s blocked as “some Christians” for not showing kindness or grace, and she said she hasn’t allowed that to stop her from “growing upwards and getting stronger.”

Laura Lentz Comments About Kindness and Grace

Mrs. Lentz has seen the kindness, grace, forgiveness, and strength of God in ways she’s never seen before. She wrote how she is choosing to keep her heart free of bitterness for those “friends” who have abandoned her family but doesn’t mean she won’t forget.

She shared a quote from a friend saying, “I would rather be accused of being too gracious toward someone, over being accused of judging someone too harshly.” She said she desires to be known as someone who “sees the good in people & truly loves people unconditionally.”
