During Sunday service, Bishop T.D. Jakes stated,

“For nearly 50 years, I’ve had the honor of connecting with and serving the local and global community as a pastor, global faith leader and unwavering truth teller. As I enter my 50th year in the public spotlight, I recognize the urgent need to address more challenges of our time, particularly the looming threat of a disappearing middle class, social unrest and closing opportunity gaps. This pivotal moment calls me to focus on a legacy of economic empowerment, serving as a bridge between community, culture, and corporate alliances to help position our nation for a stronger future”.

Pastor Touré and Pastor Sarah were elevated as the new senior pastors of The Potter’s House, founded in 1996.

“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.”

Jake shared that he will remain chairman and “overseer” of The Potter’s House. He also revealed that he’s planning to use iHeartMedia to launch his new podcast called “My Next Chapter.”
