Joel Osteen is stepping down as Senior Pastor of Lakewood Church because of health concerns. As many know, Osteen's father had encouraged him to preach for many years, but he declined, preferring to work behind the scenes until January 17, 1999. Two weeks after his father's death, Osteen began preaching regularly and later that year was installed as the new senior pastor of Lakewood Church on October 3, 1999. Since then, Lakewood's attendance has grown from 5,000 to 43,000.
In spite of the obvious success, Osteen has never felt comfortable as a Speaker and the stress is beginning to impact on his health. The search for a new Senior Pastor will begin immediately.
People being considered are:
Jonathan Osteen (Joel's son)
Gabriel Swaggart
John Stickl and
Andy Stanley
For the record, I totally made this up because I wanted to demonstrate how simple it was to post fake news stories. I saw a story, clicked the link and was given the opportunity to create my own fake news story. This was the result. Please stop sharing stuff without verifying the source and verifying the information.
