In a heartfelt Instagram post, Carl Lentz announced the launch of his new podcast “Lights On,” set to premiere on all major platforms on June 4. The former pastor, who gained widespread attention for his role at Hillsong Church, is now embarking on a journey to share stories of recovery, vulnerability, and hope.
Lentz’s announcement read: “JUNE 4, my podcast ‘Lights On’ is available on all platforms. My choices, and the road toward recovery taught me how helpful it is to have people share vulnerably the impact of their bad choices, the pain they caused, and the pain they suffered that led them to make those choices, and what they’ve discovered can be helpful and healing. My hope is that in sharing those things from my story and asking others to share theirs, it will be helpful, hopeful and healing. I’m thankful for where we are today. To be confident of the future, content in the present and healed enough to speak to the past is miraculous. If we can make it, anybody can…thank you for all the love and support! Carl.”
Personal stories of struggle and redemption
The podcast promises to delve deep into personal stories of struggle and redemption, aiming to provide listeners with insights and encouragement. Lentz’s message emphasizes the power of sharing and listening to experiences of pain and recovery, a theme he believes is crucial for healing.
