Breaking News: Joel Osteen’s Wife Announces Divorce After Discovering Husband’s Infidelity…
Joel Osteen is a well-known American pastor, televangelist, and author. He’s the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, which is one of the largest Protestant churches in the United States. His messages focus a lot on positivity, hope, and prosperity — often called the “prosperity gospel,” which teaches that faith and positive thinking can lead to material success and personal well-being.
A bit more background:
He was born on March 5, 1963, in Houston. His father, John Osteen, founded Lakewood Church.
Joel didn’t originally plan to be a preacher. He studied communications and produced his father’s televised sermons for years. After his father passed away in 1999, Joel reluctantly took over as pastor.
Under his leadership, Lakewood Church grew massively. They even bought and renovated the Compaq Center (former home of the Houston Rockets), turning it into a huge church venue.
He’s written several best-selling books, like Your Best Life Now and Become a Better You.
He’s a bit of a polarizing figure: while millions love his uplifting messages, critics argue he downplays traditional theology, sin, and hardship in favor of motivational speeches.
He’s also been involved in some controversies, like delayed responses during natural disasters (like Hurricane Harvey), and critiques over his views on wealth and giving.
If you want, I can tell you more — like his daily routine, how he writes his sermons, or even how he grew Lakewood into a wor
ldwide platform.
