Former Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz opens up about the factors that led to the collapse of his ministry.
He discusses the core issues that led to his breach of trust, what it was like to preach while he was having an affair, the relentless pressure of rapid growth, what rehab taught him about addressing core issues, his regrets, and warning signs for church leaders facing the pressure.
