T.D. Jakes Biography

Bishop T.D. Jakes is a charismatic leader, visionary, provocative thinker, and entrepreneur who served as senior pastor of The Potter’s House, a global humanitarian organization and 30,000-member church located in Dallas, for decades until passing on the leadership to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and son-in-law, Toure Roberts. As Chairman and CEO of the T.D. Jakes Group, a global conglomerate solving society's problems through strategic alliances and providing solutions for under-resourced communities, Jakes is a gateway for activating global audiences.

Named America’s Best Preacher by TIME Magazine, Jakes’ voice reverberates from the world’s most prominent stages. Through his nexus of charitable works, Jakes is known for extending a hand of help to the needy, heart of compassion to the hurting, and message of inspiration to the disenfranchised.

Beyond the pulpit, Jakes ranks among EBONY’s Power100 and is the winner of several prestigious awards including BET Honors, Stellar Award, NAACP Image Award, Keeper of the Dream Award and McDonald’s 365Black Award for his humanitarian efforts. His worldwide impact is also felt through high profile conference series such as MegaFest, which recently drew more than 75,000 participants, and an empire that spans film, television, radio, best-selling books and the T.D. Jakes School of Leadership.

Jakes has made his presence felt in Hollywood, producing and appearing in a number of films. Jakes has worked on "Winnie Mandela" starring Jennifer Hudson, "Sparkle," featuring Jordin Sparks and the late Whitney Houston, "On the Seventh Day," "Miracles from Heaven," and "Jumping the Broom", an award-winning romantic comedy that debuted as the No. 1 comedy and grossed nearly seven times its budget in 2011.

After more than 40 years in ministry, Jakes continues to be a leading voice of innovation, inspiration, and influence in Christendom today.
