Joel Osteen’s ‘Simple Things’ Post Sparks Fury
Texas megachurch pastor and televangelist Joel Osteen recently received backlash on social media after posting about the importance of “the simple things in life.”
In a post on Wednesday to X, formerly Twitter, Osteen wrote, “It’s the simple things in life that bring us the most joy. You may not have a lot of resources, but if you have family, you’re blessed. If you have your health, you’re blessed. If you can look up at the stars at night, you’re blessed.”
While Osteen received over 5,000 likes and some supportive comments, others pointed to his wealth and accused him of being “greedy” and a “hypocrite.”
