The bishop will be handing leadership of the church over to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Toure Roberts.

Jakes’ announcement comes nearly six months after a major health incident that he later described as a “massive heart attack.”

Bishop T.D. Jakes is handing the pulpit of his Dallas-based megachurch, The Potter’s House, to his daughter and son-in-law, who will serve as the new lead pastors. In July 1996, Jakes opened the doors to what would catapult his ministerial gift on a global scale and grow into a recognized church that reaches the masses.
