During a recent sermon at the Potter’s House in Dallas, Pastor T.D. Jakes experienced an unsettling health episode that caused concern among his congregation. While delivering his message, Jakes was seen lowering his microphone and appearing to tremble, leading churchgoers to rush to his side for assistance.
Although the church has not confirmed whether he was taken to the hospital or disclosed the precise nature of the incident, they did share on their Instagram account that Jakes is “stable and under the care of medical professionals.”
Pastor Jakes is the founder of the Potter’s House, a megachurch with a membership of 30,000, which he established in 1996.
Following the incident, Sarah Jakes Roberts, one of his daughters, along with her husband Toure Roberts, took to Instagram to provide an update for concerned followers. They reassured everyone that Bishop Jakes is doing well and is receiving the necessary care.
This occurrence serves as a reminder of the importance of health and well-being, especially for leaders who have such a significant impact on their communities. The outpouring of support from Jakes’ congregation and family highlights the strong bonds within the church community.
Overall, this situation reflects hope as well—Bishop Jakes has a loving family and a dedicated congregation that are ready to support him through any challenges he faces.
