Talk about cultish! Joel Osteen, false teacher and fake pastor, is most definitely a cult leader. The followers of Joel Osteen’s ministry do not follow Christ, they follow the man and they are in it for no other reason than to hear the man tickle their ears with his motivational pep talks and uplifting speeches.

Joel Osteen, one of the world’s most famous and prosperous false teachers–estimated to be worth about $100 million–appeared on the Today Show in 2021 to lecture people who don’t have the luxury of owning a 17 thousand square foot home with an Olympic size pool on how to be content with what you have.

Osteen, a prosperity gospel charlatan who has made millions of dollars bilking unsuspecting people who continuously give money to his organization in the hopes of receiving material gain from God in return, went on to compare God to a spare tire that you can use as back-up when things aren’t going your way.

During his last Sunday morning “sermon,” if you want to call it that, Osteen broke down in tears to tell the audience how he had paid off a $100 million loan for the former Compaq Center stadium where the “church” now meets in just 19 years. Osteen explained during the session that after a failed attempt at getting the loan from another bank, they got the loan from Bank of America. Osteen said that over the years, they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on other programs, including outreach, but chose not to pay off the loan faster even though they could have.

Just think about how many goats have been fleeced in order to push that kind of money through their coffers. Hundreds of millions of dollars that came from poor and middle class people as a “seed offering” in the hopes that doing so would help them out of their own financial troubles.
