TD Jakes condolence message to Joel Osteen : The founder of the popular Potter’s House Church Dallas, Bishop TD Jakes has penned down an emotional condolence message following the death of Pastor Joel Osteen’s mother Dodie Osteen.
Expressing his shock over the death of Dodie Osteen and speaking of his encounter with her, TD Jakes took to Instagram to write:
I met Mother Osteen while her husband was still pastoring, long before he preceded her in death. I came to know her more personally as I ministered for Pastor Joel Osteen after he became his father’s successor. She was, without question, an extraordinary woman of God.
I find myself at a rare loss for words. For so many of us who have lost our own mothers, she became a sacred surrogate, stepping into that space with warmth, grace, and love. She was nothing short of an angel among us, moving through this life with a radiant, quiet strength, clothed in class, dignity, and a humility that only magnified her majesty.
To the entire Osteen family, please know that The Potter’s House of Dallas stands with you. We are praying fervently for your strength and comfort. We clothe ourselves in sackcloth and ashes, mourning with hope as we await the glorious reunion Christ has promised in the skies.
She was the shining face I always looked forward to seeing at Lakewood. A true delight. A steady light.
Farewell, Mother.
We’ll see you in the morning. 🕊️🕊️
