In 2025 T.D. Jakes stepped down as senior pastor of The Potter’s House, the Dallas megachurch he founded in 1996. He cited health concerns, having suffered a heart attack during a sermon there a few months prior. He handed the church’s leadership over to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts.
