Bishop T.D. Jakes is stable after experiencing a “health incident” during his recent Sunday service.
The pastor and motivational speaker was speaking at The Potter’s House of Dallas, a nondenominational Christian church, on Nov. 24 when the incident occurred.
The 67-year-old was delivering a sermon onstage when he appeared to pause and shake slightly, based on footage of the service livestream shared to social media. A crowd of people then approached him.
After the service, The Potter’s House of Dallas shared a statement on Jakes’ official X account providing an update on the bishop’s health.
“During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour long message,” the statement said. “Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community.”
The Dallas megachurch thanked its members for their understanding and prayers.
TODAY.com has reached out to Jakes’ representative for comment.
Prior to the service, Jakes had posted on social media encouraging churchgoers to tune in either in person or online at 9 a.m. CT.
“I’m ready to share what God gave me with YOU! Our real meal for Thanksgiving is the word of God!” he wrote in a caption on Instagram next to a photo of him dressed in his church attire.
The Potter’s House has more than 30,000 members and was founded in 1996, according to the church’s website.
