Bishop T.D. Jakes has transformed The Potter’s House in Dallas—home to over 30,000 members—into a global faith brand. Blending ministry with books, films like Jumping the Broom, and massive events such as MegaFest, he reaches millions worldwide.
Supporters praise him as a visionary using modern platforms to spread hope, while critics warn that mixing faith and marketing risks commercializing the gospel. His work with Hollywood, high-profile celebrity donations, and polished image add to the debate.
Beyond the spotlight, Jakes’ church tackles homelessness, literacy, and youth outreach, with his wife, Serita, leading efforts for women and domestic violence survivors. Whether seen as a trailblazer or a controversial figure, his impact on faith and culture is undeniable.
