The Resume

    (November 6, 1978- )
    Born in Williamsburg, Virginia
    Birth name was Stephen Carl Lentz
    Head pastor of Hillsong NYC (2010-20)
    Spiritual advisor to Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Kevin Durant and members of the Jenner-Kardashian clan
    Appeared in the documentary 'The Secrets of Hillsong' (2023)

Why he might be annoying:

    He wore $1,000 sneakers and $10,000 hoodies. (Side question: Unless you're smuggling diamonds and cocaine in the lining, how the hell do you make a hoodie worth $10,000?)
    He abused his ADHD medication, amphetamine-based Adderall.
    He was fired from Hillsong for engaging in an extramarital affair with designer Ranin Karim.
    Former Lentz family nanny Leona Kimes accused him of 'manipulation, control, bullying, abuse of power, and sexual abuse.' (He admitted to an affair with Kimes but denied the allegations of abuse.)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He claimed he developed a 'pattern of secrecy' after being sexually abused as a child by a family friend.'
    He was a walk-on player for the North Carolina State basketball team.
    He was a magnetic speaker.
    Justin Bieber does seem to get into trouble less frequently since Lentz baptized him. (Although how much of that is due to Lentz's influence and how much to just growing the heck up is open to debate.)
