The word restoration gets thrown around a lot… Restoration, means different things to different people. Often it’s used to describe something you want to be restored TO. @lauralentz and I have focused on restoration to health and peace not to a position or a particular profession. It’s helped us stay focused on what really matters, who really matters and doing whatever it takes to stay on that path. It has not been easy but it has been worth it! Episode 1 & 2 are out streaming on ALL platforms! @bside_app @apple @spotify @youtube
New EP Tomm… This episode was difficult! To do, to present, to watch… I know we all deal with family challenges and my hope is that by sharing how we have and are working through our own, it can encourage you on your journey. We talk about: – what I’ve done wrong as a dad and how I’m learning from it. -the impact of “ministry” on family. -are my kids still Christians? -what we as parents may not know about our kids…and more. Thanks for checking it out 🙏 Honest Side Note: “lights on” will drop on Tuesdays. I postponed this release, because my kids were so incredibly honest, there were some things I wanted to take out to protect them upon reflection. Thats the reason for the delay. Thanks for your understanding!

Episode 3 is OUT! And with our whole family! This is the second half of a very long and deep conversation w/ my kids. (Might play the other part down the road a little…) One of the things I hope people can glean, especially my fellow dads, is that your mistakes as a parent do not have to be “fatal.” They can actually be freeing. They can open your eyes to where you can change if you’re willing. It’s never too late to change. My family is evidence of that…we are a family just like any other: we laugh, we cry, we challenge, and we compliment. As long as we do it all together, wrapped in honesty? Nothing can break us. Not even when Dads ugly humanity and mistakes are all out in public. If we can make it? Anybody can. @lauralentz has held us together and @avaangellentz @charliejaynelentz @romanbrettlentz y’all don’t owe anybody anything. Thank you for being willing to share honestly about us and our road as we know it. ILYSM!! Now on ALL audio platforms ! Watch NOW on @bside_app or 3PM ET on YouTube
Thanks for engaging so much with our last episode, I knew many would relate to it. Didn’t know just how many, so it’s encouraging to see.. My kids saying things like this was hard to hear. But I’ve learned that their thoughts on how I prioritize them in my life is vitally important. My “intention” is not as important as my actual action! I missed these opportunities badly in the past and I’m dedicated to progress and getting better. One way I do that is by asking my family if they feel like they are my number one priority. And when I ask this, I’m not allowed to defend or justify, it’s a rule that ensures an honest answer! @charliejaynelentz thanks for helping me get better! You teach me a lot.. Let me know what part of episode 3 resonated the most w/ you… #LIGHTSON
This next episode is about sex and intimacy after betrayal… how shame can impact a potential fresh start… how Laura handles triggers that are ever-present Laura gives answers to some of her most frequently asked questions and I think her answers are profound and so helpful for anybody in a relationship or looking to be in one. THANK YOU for the support and engagement with “Lights On”! This episode is available Tomorrow! 🅱️B-Side App 🎶Spotify 🟪Apple Podcasts 📺YouTube
Owning my role in relational breakdowns, which is going to happen in life, has been essential for me to stay free of bitterness and keep moving forward. It doesnt mean what I feel is not real or everything is my fault. It means that I can only control me! Where can I get better? What can I learn? What role did I play? Answering those questions honestly is hard but empowering. It helps you accept relational realities and grow, rather than chasing people who have walked out of your life. Episode 1 and 2 are OUT and Episode 3 is out next Tuesday! It’s GOOD. Thank you for all the support for “LIGHTS ON” , I hope these conversations remain a blessing and an asset for you…
What I was thinking when I first became a dad to my now 20 YEAR OLD @avaangellentz … “I really hope God gives me grace to be a good dad because without that, I am in over my head!” What I think NOW: I KNOW God gives grace to Dad’s, without a doubt! There is so much freedom and peace in that knowledge. It’s the only thing that has gotten me through some hard times as a dad when Ive been tempted to think I have not done a good enough job. I’m reminded that in my weakest, God is at his strongest. I’ve seen that play out in my fatherhood experience so many times and Im forever grateful for that grace.. @avaangellentz thank you for being our first born, experimental, have no clue if this is gonna work but we are gonna try it on you because you’re our first born, amazing daughter.. it’s my honor to be your dad! @charliejaynelentz @romanbrettlentz thank you for giving me grace on this dad journey.. i love you!

A friend I love recently told me that when I use the word “addict” or “addiction” I am using “victim language.” The inference is that if you say that, you are somehow displacing blame or excusing your actions. I used to think that exact thought when people would say “I am an addict.” Here is the truth: the original intention of anybody stating “I am an addict” is the first step to naming and accepting “I have a problem that I am powerless over.” Its the very beginning of getting help. Using the word “addict” is not an excuse for behaving badly or not taking responsibility for actions. In fact it’s the direct opposite. It’s a statement wrapped in humility and ownership that is “the return of choice.” My refusal to believe I could ever be an addict, led to a fruitless and ultimately arrogant pursuit of “fixing myself.” “Getting over it.” “Pray more.” Common things you hear mainly in christian circles that leaves people utterly bound in cycles of destruction. It doesn’t have to be like that. Saying you’re a recovering addict doesnt mean you love Jesus any less. It doesnt mean you use it as a shield. It means you are ready to face reality and stand accountable for the pain you have caused and have a desire to break those patterns in your life and make amends. I’m so grateful I was able to hear the truth and change the entire direction of my life. I want that for other people as well. To all the addicts and recovering addicts out there, keep fighting because you are not alone and it will get better…
Walking confidently in who you are now does not mean you lack remorse for who you have been. It means you understand the best way to never return to that is by embracing growth. People may try to hold you to a shameful view they still have of you. Don’t let them! Life is too short to let somebody else’s opinion be your steering wheel..
