Bishop T.D. Jakes, renowned pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas, experienced a “slight health incident” while delivering a sermon on Sunday, sending shockwaves through his congregation and followers. As of Sunday night, the 67-year-old pastor was reported to be stable, receiving medical attention after the incident.
A Shocking Moment During the Sermon
During his hour-long sermon, footage shared on social media showed Jakes pausing mid-sentence and visibly shaking. Concerned church members quickly approached him on stage, and the bishop was promptly attended to by medical staff. The Potter’s House released a statement assuring the public that Jakes received immediate medical care and was stable.
The church expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community, which has been a source of comfort for both Jakes’ family and congregation. Founded in 1996, The Potter’s House is a nondenominational church with over 30,000 members, and Jakes’ health is a matter of concern for many.
Jakes’ daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, along with her husband, Touré Roberts, reassured the public in an Instagram video that her father was already showing signs of recovery. She emphasized the importance of cherishing loved ones, especially during the holiday season. Touré Roberts added that it was a moment of reflection, reminding followers of the mercy and grace that allowed Bishop Jakes to be recovering well.
