Here's Trent's video: https://youtu.be/4OTf-rR6O_o This can be a bit awkward for me, to be honest, because I don't want to spend time "defending myself" but I don't intend for this to be that.

Nov 12, 2021•1 hr 21 min•Ep 592•Transcript available on Metacast This is not a hit piece. I just think that it can be really helpful to evaluate Joel Osteen's extremely popular teaching through the eyes of a teacher who cares an awful lot about representing the Bible properly. We often hear of problems with teachers when someone gathers just the most offensive, problematic, or otherwise inflammatory parts of their teachings and evaluates them. I am not doing that today.
