“Even the greatest charlatans don’t work alone. Steven Furtick was the adoring apprentice, the eager mimic, the dollar-store knockoff of Jakes’ ministry of self. Together, they didn’t so much shepherd the flock as they fleeced it, turning churches into circuses where the name of Jesus was a marketing slogan and the offering plate the main attraction.”
(The Dissenter) At long last, the velvet-tongued emperor of Christian celebrity culture, Bishop T.D. Jakes, has announced his exit from the pulpit of The Potter’s House—the crumbling empire he built atop the rotting carcass of the Word of Faith movement and anti-Trinitarian heresy.
And no, this isn’t a sacred moment of solemn reflection. This is the final act of a man who should’ve never worn a stole, never ascended a pulpit, never even pretended to crack open a Bible without issuing a public apology first.
