Joel Osteen, (born March 5, 1963, Houston, Texas, U.S.), American televangelist, theologian, speaker, and author who attracted millions of followers with his simple and positive sermons and his best-selling books. He defended Lakewood’s unabashedly commercial approach to attracting new members, arguing that churches that opposed “changing with the times,” as he put it, risked losing members or folding altogether. Osteen was accused on social media of not opening the doors of his giant, 600,000-square-foot church -- Houston's largest -- to those in need. He vehemently denies these claims, saying through a spokesperson that the facility was "never closed" and that the church was hesitant to house people because of a fear of rising waters and an unsafe environment.
