I've watched Lakewood Church grow for over 40 years. I've heard various criticisms through the years and they sound the same... too shallow, too motivational, too modern, false teaching, etc., etc. One person even criticized Joel's hair! The truth is God has used Lakewood Church in such ways that it would boggle the human mind. Millions of people are touched worldwide. People are healed, families restored, people are delivered from addictions, and on and on it goes. Joel preaches simple and precisely. My wife responds to his preaching better than any preacher on earth... including myself!!! There is much more going on at Lakewood Church than just the service. I suggest that people join one of their ministries and help them serve the public. Your life will be changed!
