T.D. Jakes: ‘Let Him Go in Peace’
Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the most prominent voices in modern Christianity, experienced a medical emergency during his sermon last Sunday. Reports suggest he suffered a seizure, leaving many within the faith community pondering the spiritual and physical implications of such an event. As his sermon transitioned from a heartfelt prayer to instructions for giving, Bishop Jakes’ vulnerability seemed to surface, culminating in the abrupt health crisis.
The moment was poignant, especially given his closing words: “I still love to preach. I ain’t tired of preaching. I miss you, I miss you.” This sentiment shines a light on the paradox that many in ministry face—the deep love for their calling weighed against the demands that come with it. For Jakes, who had recently returned from ministering in Zimbabwe for The Jubilee Conference earlier in November, the strain of global ministry likely compounded the exhaustion.
In the aftermath of the incident, Bishop Jakes’ daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts, provided an update on his condition through social media. They assured the faith community that Bishop Jakes is in stable condition and recovering well from the incident.
Isaiah Saldivar Explains Why Megachurch Pastors Fail

In a recent livestream, Isaiah Saldivar discussed why we continue to see this heartbreaking phenomenon of megachurch leaders falling.
The first thing that Saldivar mentions is how there was a time when pastors wanted nothing more than to be friends with the world, craving the attention of being known for speaking on secular podcasts, marrying and spending time with celebrities and gaining attention from people outside of the faith. However, this couldn’t be further from what the people of God are called to be like.
