A wave of concern swept through the congregation of The Potter's House in Dallas on Sunday, November 24, when Bishop T.D. Jakes, the church's senior pastor and renowned spiritual leader, experienced a health incident during a live-streamed service.

The scare occurred following an impassioned, hour-long sermon by Jakes, a revered figure in Christian communities worldwide. Witnesses reported visible distress as members of the congregation and staff sprang into action. On-site medical professionals quickly attended to the bishop as concerned attendees were heard being urged to "begin to pray" for his recovery.

In a statement released later that day, The Potter's House assured followers that Bishop Jakes is stable and receiving proper medical care.

"The entire Potter's House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community," the statement read, calling for continued prayers and understanding during this time.

Many expressed relief at the positive update and pledged to keep the bishop in their prayers as he recovers.

Bishop Jakes, 67, is known for his charismatic leadership and global influence in ministry, philanthropy, and media.
