Karl Lenz is an atypical representative of a new generation of priests in Protestantism, he is the pastor of the Hillsong Church in New York and the spiritual mentor of many Hollywood celebrities. In the list of his parishioners Selena Gomez, Haley Baldwin, Kevin Durant, Kendall Jenner and other celebrities, but the closest relationship he has with Justin Bieber. Paparazzi do not have time to record their joint walks and meetings, noticing their love for the same branded things and accessories.
Insiders joke:
"First, you converge on the love of the clothes of the most popular designer of the generation of millenials Virgil Ablo, then you walk together through branded boutiques, choosing the same shoes, and then it comes about the love of God, the true path and human destiny."
What stands out Karl Lenz: the perfect hairstyle made by the best stylists, love of tattoos, maximum openness and unchanging uniform consisting of torn jeans brand Fear of God, t-shirts and leather jacket Saint Laurent. As the pastor himself admitted in an interview with WWD, his wardrobe has more than fifty black T-shirts, 40 pairs of black jeans and several pairs of identical shoes. But the modesty of Karl Lenz is clearly ostentatious, the 38-year-old man has a bigger wardrobe than he says, not to mention the Rolex watch collection. He told journalists about his style and relationship with Justin Bieber the following:
"Despite the great age difference, we always find topics for conversation: sports, fashion, cool clothes and shoes. It's easy for us to communicate and we often combine talks about important things with shopping, go jogging together, have breakfast at Mastro's Cafe, if time permits. Justin looks great, has an excellent taste, he is much steeper than me in many things. As for my clothes and accessories, they are mostly gifts. "
Just note that the pastor is married and, as he says in an interview, is happy in marriage.
About preaching and friendly support
In his sermons Lentz rejects all taboos and prohibitions, you will not hear boring sermons and precepts, only rap and easy submission of Christian postulates. In his debut book "Own the Moment" he talks about how he came to faith and how, in his opinion, a sermon for modern youth should look like:
"You do not need to bother, in church, during prayer, you should feel comfortable."
The friendship between Justin Bieber and Karl Lenz lasts for several years, if there is no possibility to meet in person, they communicate by FaceTime. A couple of years ago, the singer even lived in the family of Charles, with his three children and his wife Laura, in order to better understand the "divine truths." After this experience, a young man calls a pastor a father, which causes discontent from his parents! Now the pastor often accompanies Bieber in his world tour tours and lives with him in one apartment.
