Pastor joel osteen dinner memes9/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Honestly, what I really like about Joel is that his first love was working behind the scenes as the AV techno-geek that ran the television production for his father’s ministry. He just seemed so small there on the stage, but his voice was still powerful and crystal clear. Visually, the jumbotrons helped me to make out the facial expressions of Joel and his preaching crew, and several times over the evening I caught myself hyper-focused on watching the “jumbotron” version of Joel and not the real deal. For these numbers, each musician “manned” his own microphone and mic stand, and then carried them back and forth from the front to the back of the stage for each song. In addition to the spoken sermon being delivered by Joel, the evening had an on-going musical element where Joel’s son and daughter were joined by other musicians on stage. His voice was loud and clear, and he moved with ease despite having the lavalier attached to him. He had a lavalier microphone, neatly centered below his chin, on his chest between the lapels of his suit. Promptly at 7:30PM Joel stepped out after one musical introductory number, greeted the crowd and started the evening. Of course, there were the much-needed jumbotron images of Joel and his crew (since I was seated in the nose bleeds), but there was also a humble simplicity to the AV technology they utilized (although the flashing lights from the sound board could have lit up a small city). Nothing was over-done, not the backdrop, and not the sound system. Now I’ve been to the Barclays Center before for several different types of events from hockey games to a Bruno Mars concert, but on this night, what surprised me was how the staging for this monumental event was so minimal. So, recently I had a chance to go to the “Night of Hope” at the Barclays Center and see none other than Joel Osteen, the charismatic, sometimes loved, sometimes not, ever-smiling American preacher and televangelist. When you think of a HOW, I bet you are probably not thinking about the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, right? But in this age of mobile churches and pop up locations, nearly any venue can become a center for spiritual awakening. In related news, the US vetoes a UN proposal regarding the Catholic Church.In AV, and for many of our microphone applications, a popular market channel for us is House of Worship. Judge Canard made it clear that Osteen needs to handwrite the notes as well as make each one unique “in a meaningful way.” “His hand will suffer greatly for the sins he’s committed.” “Pastor Osteen is a scoundrel and a grifter,” Judge Canard said. It only seems right to force Osteen to write each and every one of them a personalized apology. Approximately 45,000 people attend church services every Sunday at Lakewood. ![]() Judge Canard saw an opportunity to exact a punishment that is fitting the sin. One of Osteen’s parishioners lodged a complaint about the corruption. Meanwhile, he has made appearances on the Today Show, urging people to not “focus on what have or don’t have.”įederal Judge Andrew Canard wasn’t impressed. Osteen reportedly owns a $300,000 Ferrari and a $10.5 million mansion, and has been photographed traveling in style on a luxury jet. It caused “Osteen” and “Ferrari” to trend on social media as observers questioned the institution’s need for such a huge payout. Lakewood Church, which is tax-exempt like most religious institutions, took $4.4 million in taxpayer-funded Paycheck Protection Program loans at the height of the COVID pandemic last year-all while senior pastor Joel Osteen flaunted his insane wealth.
