Darnell Barrett, Like Carl Lentz, Exits Hillsong Church Citing Infidelity

Yet any other Hillsong Church pastor has resigned. Darnell Barrett claims he informed his spouse about by chance sending some scandalous pictures.

Organized faith, especially attendance in large-scale gatherings and services and products, is rapidly declining. Maybe folks are discovering solace in different actions, or the communal, amassing aspect of attending weekly religious ceremonies is now not deemed vital through many.

Or most likely it has got one thing to do with common non secular figures being keen on publicized scandals, like those DMs from Darnell Barrett, former pastor of Hillsong Church, who says he sent them to a woman "accidentally" and is now seeking to mend his relationship along with his wife. 

Darnell Barrett resigned from the church after he sent "bulge" footage to a woman who wasn't his spouse over Instagram.

If you don't seem to be acquainted with Darnell, he is a pastor for the Hillsong Church, which has places in over 23 international locations and boasts greater than 150,000 contributors international. The church has no less than 10 separate places across the United States, and Darnell Barrett used to be a senior pastor for the Montclair, N.J. branch.

He lately resigned over the debate surrounding two separate reflect selfie photos of him posing in white Nike compression tights. The post-workout selfies — which were shared by means of Daily Mail — came with a message about melancholy and nervousness and how he didn't leave his own bed for nearly a whole day. "Depression and anxiety got the best of me in the last 30 hours," he shared.

He continued, "Barely got out of bed yesterday. I'm just proud of myself for getting to the gym today even if it was a cheap 30 minute workout. One of the insidious things about grief is it's [sic] capricious nature. I'm learning to give myself grace in how to deal with it."

It's transparent in the photos that he is no longer wearing lingerie within the compression shorts, and he is sporting a genital bulge.

The follow-up picture once more confirmed him in the similar white tights, declaring that it used to be "Day 2 of kicking depressions [sic] tight a--." It was adopted up with a fist emoji. The footage have been shared to his Close Friends list on Instagram, but he also sent the pictures to a female member of his parish, a lady who once volunteered at the church.

According to The Daily Mail, Darnell informed the previous volunteer that he "might've added [her] to [his] close friends list by accident [and that he was] trying to figure out how the hell to edit it."

Darnell advised the opening that he "was not at all trying to lure" the younger girl to whom he sent the photos. "I get that she, within the context of what's happening with Hillsong, that she would draw those conclusions. But I barely know her. That was not my intention," he said.

The parishioner who won the messages, however, didn't think that they were despatched mistakenly, citing the fact that Darnell had reached out to her earlier in 2021 when he used to be in her house, announcing he was on the lookout for a place with no cell phone sign with a liquor retailer.

She states that she did not understand the bulge to start with but then blocked him when she did. She then unblocked him to send him a message again.

"Darnell, I'm not going to lie, I blocked your [sic] for a second but I've decided I need to say something to you. First off, I'm insulted that you wouldn't understand what you're doing but I'm not f--king stupid. For you to go out of your way to make it seem like you 'accidentally' added me to your close friends… and then, went out of your way to message me about it KNOWING that would make me go look is bulls--t."

"What pisses me off is knowing that I'm not the only person you've probably done this to. I'm actually horrified by the thought of how many other innocent girls you've manipulated with this ploy of yours…."

Darnell responded with, "I'm sorry?" before in the end being blocked.

Darnell Barrett is not the one pastor to leave Hillsong for infidelity.

The former head of the Montclair department stated that he ultimately resigned, citing infidelity as the reason and that he is these days running on his marriage.

Carl Lentz, who was once significantly connected with Justin Bieber, was ousted due to "moral failures" and a "breach of trust" for no longer only cheating on his wife with Ranin Karim but mendacity to Ranin in the procedure, telling her he used to be an single sports agent.
