Social Media Shares Mixed Reactions

Amid the update at Potter’s House, social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their reactions.

Instagram user @shon_jahray wrote, “Family shouldn’t inherit a preacher position in church. What happened to being anointed? Makes it seem like a family business”

While Instagram user @atlantahairdoctor added, “Definitely well-deserved. Sarah is just what the culture needs. I’ve met her in person, hugged and had conversations with her. No worries, we’re in great hands.”

Instagram user @dunninmetip wrote, “Love Sarah down but something with that husband just doesn’t sit right with me”

While Instagram user @tiffanynycole_ added, “I love that he’s able to pass it on to such anointed souls

Instagram user @daryltiffany wrote, “I mean .. I see the comments. But I just never been a fan of MEGA churches. It’s literally just a business all about money. Can’t tell me otherwise honestly”

While Instagram user @deontegq added, “Well done, Bishop Jakes. Healthy succession planning.”

Instagram user @jerrica.brooke wrote, “Y’all use the term ‘anointed’ so loosely.”

While Instagram user @mizzamazing1 added, “I can’t stand people who swear ‘mega churches’ are ONLY about money like when your church grows the building has to grow too like not all churches started mega and please understand being a pastor is an occupation as well and the building, lights etc have to be cut on and PAID FOR…”

Instagram user @just0cool wrote, “2000 years ago Church’s only business was saving souls.”

While Instagram user @DawsonAnthony.3532 added, “Some of y’all are speaking without truly understanding the weight of this moment. This wasn’t just an announcement—it was a sacred, spiritual transition. After 45 years of faithful preaching, Bishop Jakes has poured his heart, soul, and wisdom into the mission. And now, he’s entrusting that legacy to Pastor Sarah and her husband…”

More Details On Sarah Jakes Roberts & Her Husband Touré Being Appointed As Senior Pastors At Potter’s House

As The Shade Room previously reported, in April, Bishop T.D. Jakes shocked social media. At the time, he shared that he was stepping down as Potter House’s senior pastor and giving the title to his daughter and her husband.

“As I enter my 50th year in the public spotlight, I recognize the urgent need to address more challenges of our time, particularly the looming threat of a disappearing middle class, social unrest, and closing opportunity gaps.

This pivotal moment calls me to focus on a legacy of economic empowerment, serving as a bridge between community, culture, and corporate alliances to help position our nation for a stronger future,” he reportedly stated in part at the time.

Furthermore, at the time, it was reported that the Bishop would remain chairman of the church’s board and its spiritual overseer. Ultimately, later that month, Sarah broke her silence in response to her father’s decision.
