Honest question: Is it harder to trust God after He’s already come through or before He does? In John 20, Thomas wasn’t doubting. He was disappointed. There’s a difference — and it changes everything. Watch #ThePainOfBelieving at TPHD.org/YouTube #TDJOnline #TPHDallas

The grandstands sound so quiet this morning. I remember vividly the first time I had a front-row seat. He stopped by my church, stepped into my office, and said with that unmistakable blend of warmth and audacity, “I thought it would be a shame for us to live and die in the same era and never meet each other.” He was uniquely gifted. Steadfast in conviction. A bridge builder when others were creating barricades. He expanded access and opportunity for countless Americans long told to “wait their turn”. He never feared taking a position or confronting opposition. His message and methodology were controversial to some, but always courageous. Those who witnessed him at the zenith of his roar will remember him standing in the world’s fiercest arenas—negotiating the release of hostages when diplomacy had stalled, traveling to Syria during the Cold War when tensions were high and trust was thin. Not with governmental authority, but with the moral authority of conviction, meeting directly with President Hafez al-Assad. A paradigm shifted when he entered one of the grandest coliseums and ran for the presidency. Whether cheered or jeered from the stands, he was a gladiator for his community and a relentless champion for change. Today, the coliseum is quiet. The lions return to their lairs; the gladiator has laid down his armor. Others will follow the path he forged, but the echo of his voice will endure. Our arenas were different and our methods distinct, yet when our paths crossed I was humbled, a convergence of callings, united by love for our people, each willing to lend our voice when the other called. There will not be another quite like him. Thank you, Reverend Jesse Jackson, for the battles you fought and the hope you ignited. “Keep hope alive” is now a torch in our hands. In these tempestuous times, when hope’s pulse may feel faint, we must carry it forward. To his beloved wife, family, and close friends, you have lost more than the world can measure. Our prayers are with you in your private memories as the world honors him publicly.

History teaches us that our greatest movements are built on open-hearted dialogue. I wrote for @FortuneMagazine about my deep hope for our nation's NXT Chapter, one defined by connection and shared purpose. I consider it a privilege to collaborate with @FortuneMagazine to share this vital message. In a world grappling with division, their commitment to fostering intelligent, solutions-oriented conversations is more important than ever. I'm honored to partner with them in this mission. Let's begin the conversation. The full article is linked in my bio. #NXTChapter #TDJakes #Diaspora #GlobalExcange #Hope #Connection #Future #TDJakesOnFortune

I believe God is seeking a generation that knows how to steward His gifts well — with a grateful heart. @BishopJakes’ Sunday word not only preached to the House, but to my heart. You’ll want to hit replay on #TheDangerOfEntitlement: TPHD.org/YouTube #TPHOnline

God set you into EVERYTHING you have. You did not earn it. 🙌 Remember: Humble yourself, and God exalts you. Exalt yourself, and God humbles you. 💻 Catch my full message #TheDangerOfEntitlement at TPHD.org/YouTube #TPHDallas #TDJOnline

What you agree with in your spirit matters more than what you see in the natural.   The Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 said, “It is well,” and God honored her faith.   Catch my full message #DontBuryYourDream now at TPHD.org/YouTube   #TDJOnline #TPHDallas
