Lights On with Carl Lentz

I’ve been following the Lentz’ journey for years now and I am loving this podcast, their vulnerability and hearing honest conversations that need to be had everywhere, but especially within the Church. I really love that this podcast isn’t a cookie-cutter Christian one, but one is that is raw, real and truly GOES there on many topics.

Man, I really appreciate this podcast. Like many, I became aware of the Lentz family through a documentary but I remember praying that in the end, they made it work. Then I became aware of this podcast and have listened since. In brief, I come from a broken home. 8 stepdads, drugs/alcoholics rampant in my family, abuse in various manners I saw from an early age, several close people I lost to suicide, ran with gang bangers, etc. Then was saved at 17 and followed the straight and narrow (or have tried) since then. First gen student that ended up getting his PhD in Nutrition but only made it this far because of wisdom shared to me by others, like through this podcast. My wife and I have now been together 15 years and I’ve learned so much about how to navigate topics/discussions or obstacles through this podcast. Before, much of my behavior was only what I had observed though my parents broken marriages (not good to say the least). Glad to have a podcast like this that can turn the light on for me and be a guiding light. Excellent stuff

I have followed Carl through his journey of life. I appreciate his humility and ability to bring light to his dark places that all of us truly face in our own way. That’s a true leader. Honesty. Listening. Trying to serve others. His episode with Jay Williams is special. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Thank you Carl for being REAL

Admittedly, I wasn’t really a fan of Carl before this podcast, and I came to it with some healthy skepticism. Over and over again since, Carl and Laura have blown me away with their vulnerability and willingness to bring the *real*. Each and every episode challenges me and inspires me to engage deeper into journey towards who God is constantly calling out of me. I cannot recommend this podcast more highly, come here for a big dose of inspiration and encouragement as we all work through our stuff together.
