“Recently, Daystar made the decision to terminate my son, Jonathan Lamb’s, employment,” Lamb says. “That decision was not taken lightly. It followed a 15-month review of Jonathan’s performance and his refusal to take any steps to satisfy a detailed performance improvement plan put in place. He also refused my offer to participate in a formal mediation to resolve grievances in a biblical and professional manner.”
In a statement posted to the Daystar website, Joni Lamb gives more details on the situation.
Rather than take any steps to improve his performance at Daystar, it seems clear now that Jonathan was focused on fabricating a smear campaign. You see, Jonathan was extremely disappointed that he was not named future President of Daystar following the death of his father and my husband, Marcus, despite the fact that Marcus had clearly given a directive to the family and the the Board that I would succeed him as President. His disappointment in not getting his way only deepened when I married Doug Weiss, who has been such a blessing to me, the rest of my family, and Daystar.
“I can tell you that as a mother, as a grandmother, this situation saddens me deeply and it grieves my heart because I love my family. I love all my children. I love my grandchildren. I love the work we’ve done together for so many years and I had hoped that we could have resolved the situation in private, but now Jonathan has given me no choice except to speak out,” Lamb says.
Everyone knows we have dedicated our lives to spreading the love of Jesus, and to see it attacked by my son Jonathan and his wife is truly heartbreaking.
I want to assure you that all the allegations that are circulating against myself, my late husband, and other members of my family are completely false and we have already begun to take legal steps to defend ourselves and will address the accusations in a God-honoring way.
We stand firm in our faith, knowing that God is with us, and His purpose for Daystar is far greater than any challenge we face.

“While this attack is very painful and wrong, I know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against a spiritual enemy who seeks to destroy and divide, no matter what the cost. I want to ask you for your prayers. Thank you for your continued love and support.”
