He was born in Houston, Texas, in the family of a pastor with five more children. His primary education included Humble High School. After that, he studied radio and television communications at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma (which he soon left without getting a degree).
Coming back to Houston in 1982, he decided to create his TV program that will translate his father’s sermons. Seventeen years later, in 1999, after his father unexpectedly died from a heart attack, the young pastor had to cope with his fear inside and hold a full-length sermon at Lakewood Church. After he started preaching regularly, the number of people coming to his church increased.
Osteen puts emphasizes on the power of a positive attitude and love. He says that one should concentrate more on God’s goodness rather than on the sins. This pastor is famous not only in his occupation but also as an author of a book “Your Best Life Now" that saw the world in 2004 and soon became a best seller.
One thing we noticed between these two is the time they spend gisting together. From swapping personal stories to talking about issues in the House, Elozonam and Diane derive joy in sharing each other’s space and we love that about them.
