*Sarah Jakes, the daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes, shared an update on his health following a recent medical emergency during his Sunday sermon.
As we reported earlier, Bishop Jakes experienced a medical episode during his sermon at The Potter’s House in Dallas on Sunday morning (Nov. 24). While addressing the congregation and livestream audience, he suddenly stopped speaking and began to tremble, prompting immediate assistance from those nearby. The livestream cut off shortly after the incident.
A video of the event has since circulated widely, though the church has not disclosed details about the nature of the health scare. In a statement shared on Instagram, they assured the public that he is stable and receiving medical care.
Jakes’ church, the Potter’s House of Dallas, also shared a statement on Instagram: “During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour long message. Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals.
