Publisher's Summary
When you think of a Christian pastor, you probably don't envision a tattooed 30-something who wears a motorcycle jacket, listens to hip-hop music, references The Walking Dead and Black Lives Matter in his sermons, and every Sunday draws a standing-room only crowd to a venue normally used for rock concerts - in godless New York City, no less.
But then you clearly have never met Carl Lentz.
As head pastor of the first United States 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 story of how he went from being an average teenager who couldn't care less about church to leading one of the country's fastest-growing congregations - how one day he is trying to convince a Virginia Beach 7-Eleven clerk to attend his service, and just a few years later he is baptizing a global music icon in an NBA player's Manhattan bathtub.
Amid such candid personal tales, Lentz also offers illuminating readings of Bible passages and practical tips on how to live as a person of faith in an increasingly materialistic world. How do you maintain your values - and pass them on to your children - in a society that worships money and sex and fame? How do you embrace your flaws in this Instagram era that exalts the appearance of perfection? How do you forget about "living the dream" and learn to embrace the beauty of your reality?
These are just a few of the many important questions Lentz answers in Own the Moment - a powerful book that redefines not just Christianity but spirituality as a whole.

Amazing!
To be honest I started listening thinking, this is not my kind of book, dont connect with the stories. I am so glad I kept on listening as I couldn't be more wrong. Now I can trully say - loved every min of it with a lot of "oh yeah" and "oh bummer" moments ;)

Inspirational, Makes you think and reflects!
I love the frankness and really appreciate and admires Carl’s courage to love and see people through the eyes of Jesus. Reminded me Father God loves me even I always make mistake and I could always count on Jesus because He knows all my pain and sorrow. God will never put me to a trial that I couldn’t bear and He watches over me Always. May Jesus likeness be seen in us. Hallelujah. Amen.

Lentz covers every current life topic
While I admit I am a fan of Carl Lentz’s messages, I never thought this book would touch on so many current life topics we are dealing with on a daily basis. Carl’s passion for his beliefs are not watered down to please, but rather spoken clearly and without hesitation. A must listen!

Amazing!!
Carl's approach to owning the moment is not radical. It is not a new concept but the way that it is delivered it what makes the difference. I consider it a privilege that I have listened to this book. It has greatly impacted my life and will do so for others. Thank you Carl Lentz and praise God that you do his work.
