The Potter’s House in Dallas has issued a statement confirming that Pastor T.D. Jakes experienced a “slight health incident” and received prompt medical attention. He is now stable and under the care of a doctor.
While delivering his sermon to both the congregation and online viewers, Jakes appeared to be fine at first, though his voice was soft and he wiped sweat from his forehead. However, things took a sudden turn when he stopped speaking, let his hands drop, and began to shake. Staff quickly rushed to assist him, and the live stream abruptly cut out.
This incident occurred shortly after Jakes expressed his love for the audience and shared a story about visiting someone in the hospital who ended up encouraging him, almost as if he sensed something was wrong.
Details on the cause of the episode are still unclear.
Jakes, the senior pastor at The Potter’s House megachurch in Dallas, is also a well-known author of religious and self-help books. He gained national attention last year when rumors about a supposed relationship with Diddy surfaced, rumors he firmly denied during his Christmas address.
We wish him a swift and full recovery.
