Joel Osteen & T.D. Jakes Together – Joel Osteen, who is the senior pastor at Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, invited Bishop T.D. Jakes to preach at his church. The two of them have reportedly known each other for a long time, but have never been all that close to one another. The invitation comes as a bit of a surprise, as the two of them have very different styles of preaching, but is one that the community has embraced.

“I have always loved him from afar and prayed for him, as he rose to the office of assuming his father’s mantle,” said Jakes of Osteen. He went on to say that he had watched his career unfold from a distance and that he had always prayed for him since he was a little kid.

The two first started talking after Jakes called Osteen to ask him about hosting a men’s conference. It was then that the two men decided to join forces and preach at each other’s churches.
“But we’ve known Bishop Jakes from afar and thought it would be a great thing for him to come down and share with our people,” Osteen said.

The duo has a lot in common with one another. Both are television-preachers that reach millions of people each and every day. They both have also released best-selling religious books and movies that continue to perform well.

It will be interesting to hear Jakes speak at Osteen’s church. Perhaps this initial collaboration will lead to more collaborations in the future.
