More than 10 million people watch Joel Osteen.
No matter your opinion of Osteen’s ministry, he influences the world’s perspective of Christianity.
TMZ broke the story:
“Survivor” producer Mark Burnett is teaming up with Joel Osteen for a primetime network show in 2012, TMZ has learned.
Burnett tells TMZ, the premise of the show is that ordinary people will give up several days or longer to go on a mission with Joel Osteen, one of the most popular pastors in the world. All of the missions will be in the confines of US soil to “start fixing things.”
What do you think?
Each episode will center around “people helping people,” following service projects, such as the ones the Osteens have organized in Washington D.C. through a program called Generation Hope.
“We do these projects without the cameras rolling,” said Iloff. “But Jesus said, ‘Let your light shine. Don’t hide it under a bushel.’”
Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Tell me what you think!

I think that God can use both good and bad things for His glory and purposes. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding Joel Osteen regarding his theology, doctrine, and the message that he preaches. So I guess our answer to your question Eric will depend on which side of the fence we are on 🙂
Eric Dye says
Maybe the show will shed more light?
Peter says
When you say the show will shed more light, do you mean it will shed more light on where Joel Osteen stands or did you mean shedding more light on the gospel?
Eric Dye says
Yes.
Tre Lawrence says
Interesting concept… I figure that it could bring glory to God.

The pastor should never be bigger than the church….

Hmm.. Rob Bell is also doing a TV show. That’s interesting…
In either case, I’m going to let God be God, and pray that Jesus shines through all
