Joel Osteen is an American televangelist, theologian and author who became the head pastor of Lakewood Church in 1999 following his father’s death.
Under his leadership, the church became the largest US congregation and its media presence grew extensively, reaching over 100 countries.
Osteen is known for his positive sermons and best-selling book “Your Best Life Now.”
He faced criticism for his non-traditional theology and perceived promotion of “prosperity gospel.”
Despite this, Osteen maintained his focus was on the “goodness of God,” not material wealth and defended the commercial approach to church growth as a necessary adaptation to changing times.
