TD Jakes Announces He’s Stepping Down From The Potter’s House Church, Hands Reigns to Daughter
Famed Trinity-denier and prosperity-gospel advocate T.D. Jakes, 67, announced during Sunday’s service that he is stepping down from leading his 30,000-member Dallas megachurch and handing the reigns over to his daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and son-in-law Touré Roberts.
Jakes, who suffered a major heart attack from the stage last year, told members during the service:
“I cannot afford, especially after November, to risk something happening to me and you be sheep without a shepherd. I cannot afford to let all the work of all the saints, living and dead, to hold this so tight so long that I wither away. So I’m suggesting to you, I’m recommending to you, that you receive Pastor Touré and Pastor Sarah,.”
This is legacy. Not because they’re kin, but because they’re the kind. They’ve immersed themselves into the DNA of this church for years, sat quiet, preached. What you didn’t know from November forward they’ve been running the church anyway.”
Jakes says he plans on officially handing over the church later this year, and is expected to continue pursuing his other business endevors.
“Elevating Pastor Touré and Pastor Sarah as the new senior pastors of The Potter’s House, we will honor our rich history while embracing a future that demands innovative ministry for the coming age. This elevation is not a departure but a rebirth. I will never stop preaching and will continue to minister. This moment isn’t an ending, it’s an expansion. We are not only passing a mantle we are multiplying impact. Leadership is not static, it is dynamic. It demands the courage to evolve.”
