Own The Moment Audiobook (Free)

This engaging and inspirational book by Carl Lentz, the rock star pastor of Hillsong NYC, shows us the way toward a more connected, spiritually-grounded, and fulfilled life.

When you imagine of a Christian pastor, you probably don’t envision a tattooed thirty-something who wears a motorcycle jacket, listens to hip-hop music, sources The Walking Dead and Black Lives Matter in his sermons, and every Sunday draws a standing-room just crowd to a venue normally used for rock and roll concerts-in godless approximately Own AS SOON AS NEW YORK, no less.

But you clearly haven’t met Carl Lentz.

As lead pastor from the first USA branch of global megachurch Hillsong, the former college basketball player is on a mission to make Christianity accessible in the 21st century. In Own The Moment, he shares the unlikely and inspiring tale of how he proceeded to go from as an average teenager who couldn’t care less about chapel to leading among the country’s fastest-growing congregations-how one day he is aiming to convince a Virginia Beach 7-Eleven clerk to wait his assistance, and just a few years later he’s baptizing a worldwide music icon within an NBA player’s Manhattan bathtub.

Amid such candid personal tales, Lentz also offers illuminating readings of Bible passages and practical easy methods to live as a person of trust in an progressively materialistic world. How do you sustain your values-and pass them on your children-in a society that worships cash and sex and popularity? How do you accept your flaws with this Instagram period that exalts the looks of perfection? How will you forget about “living the wish” and figure out how to accept the beauty of your reality?

These are just a few of the many essential questions Lentz answers in Own The Moment-a effective publication that redefines not just Christianity but spirituality as a whole.
