You Are STRONGER Than You THINK w/ Joel Osteen

Before I tell you about this week’s guest, PASTOR JOEL OSTEEN, I want to make it clear that I RESPECT and ENCOURAGE you to practice your faith and spirituality in any way you see fit.
That said, I wanted to share this UPLIFTING interview with Joel because it goes way beyond any single religious persuasion, exposes you to NEW IDEAS, and most of all, GIVES YOU A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
For more than 20 years, Joel has combined his love of the ministry with a savvy approach to media and business to build one of the LARGEST FOLLOWINGS in the world. The Lakewood Church has become one of the most popular visitor destinations in Houston and currently draws more than 45,000 WEEKLY ATTENDEES. Joel’s international broadcast following has expanded into more than 200 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS in the United States alone. And his dedicated SIRIUSXM channel (Channel 128) and NIGHT OF HOPE events worldwide continue to amplify his messages to millions of more people.
Incredibly, Joel never set out to do the work he does today. The story of how he reluctantly filled in to deliver a sermon for his ailing father that turned out to be the FULFILLMENT of his DESTINY is a powerful example of God’s hand at work that you need to hear, along with the importance of CONQUERING YOUR FEARS to live the life you were meant to lead.
We talk about facing dark seasons in our lives, and how we can OVERCOME CHALLENGES and by holding onto our faith.
Joel also reveals how he prays, why GRATITUDE is a big part of his conversations with God, and the role of DESTINY in our lives.
If you struggle with CONFIDENCE (and most of us do), Joel offers advice on overcoming your fears and doubts by mastering self-defeating limitations.
We also touch on LETTING GO of things that add nothing to our lives and FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST, a lesson all of us NEED TO LEARN.
JOEL OSTEEN is a tremendous force for GOOD IN THE WORLD, and after you listen to this week’s episode, you’ll know exactly why.

Been listening and watching pastor Joel for over 18 years. Woke up 1 day almost 17 years ago and stopped drinking, smoking and doing drugs Cold Turkey. He made sense, I was not an addict I was addicted. God turned my ashes to beauty. Thank you Pastor Joel, Pastor John and Dodie. In Jesus name, I was Touched!
-
God protect Joel Osteen. Destroy all the attacks of the devil against him. In Jesus name. Amen!

To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...

My son was 8 months old, and as I was changing his diaper he kicked my belly and it felt different from one side to the other. I went in to get checked and it turned out to be cancer, ultimately God brought my son into my life to save my life. The cancer was removed before treatment even began but I went through the chemo to make sure that I was doing all I could to eliminate cancer from my life... 6 years later, I'm still here, not because of my actions or decisions but because God created my path before I was even conceived. Thank you, Ed, for who you are and who you bring to the light with your channel.

This man saved my life, Ed. In 2013 I had a brain hemorrhage and after I came home from the hospital only 2 months later I was depressed and overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. I really wanted something that raided me from my asses and a YouTube video came to me of Joel and I began to listen in a daily basis to his preaching. I was raised in a Catholic church so it didn't make any sense to me to follow him and nevertheless I continued to listen to his preaching and I little by little I was transformed into a new person. Thank you , Joel...you are God's Angel 💖💚

Absolutely loved it !! My main take-aways are: - "Run your own race“ // "stay in your lane" - "whatever is supposed to be yours, you WILL end up having"

5 things to quit for all people: 1. Caring about what others think 2. Not believing in yourself 3. Not prioritizing your health 4. Wasting your precious time 5. Chasing meaningless relationships

I think Joel is a spirit born genius, completely devoted to God, reflecting many beautiful attributes of our Heavenly Father. I feel peace radiating from him, he helps me to stay close to God. Thank you I love you, I bless you all🥰👑🙏🌸💎💜❤️❤️

I believe our entire lives are testimonies. Just a few things the Lord has done for me: 1) He’s separated me and a best friend / business partner, which was devastating at the moment, but it allowed me to step into my calling and His will and run a company the way I believe God intended me to. 2) He allowed me to experience .25 cents in my bank account so I could understand that every bit of change laying around the house can actually mean the difference to someone struggling. 3) He separated me and my fiancé so we could become the people He designed us to be individually, so we can come back together and change the world as He intended. 4) He’s shown me that seeking His kingdom first will always bring more abundance than solely focusing on your business and making as much profit as possible. 5) He’s shown me that when you walk in your Passions and Gifts, you will be living in His true Joy, and you should never chase money! 6) I could go on and on. Our God is great and His children are His favorite creation!

Joel has changed my life, I grew up going to church and never realized that God wanted me to prosper and have a blessed life. Joel has shifted my perspective of God and I can feel in my spirit that He is pleased.

My two favorite people. Thanks for having Joel on your podcast. Plus I appreciate that you talk about your faith and how important it is.

What a beautiful soul Joel is💫💫
-
Joel is phenomenal, I'm Jewish and as soon as I started listening to Joel I felt peace and rest in my heart and soul, this guy is part of G-d's vision for the future, just fantastic. I plan on listening to this everyday, I have mental health issues and can get VERY negative so this and my will + courage gets me to a WAY better place in my life. Note: I'm still Jewish, just saying, very proud of it.
