Bishop TD Jakes seemingly reacted to climate of the week during his sermon on Sunday.
He said he received a prayer request via social media that he happened to see on his way to church that asked him to pray for victims of Domestic Violence.
He said he could tell the request was arbitrary and considering what has been in the news it makes him angry as a man.
Without naming names he said what is online is hard to watch and while he knows who it was, all he can think about was his daughters and it made him angry.
Watch below:
Jakes has not had it easy in the media especially because of his association with Sean Combs.
Some of his own colleagues calling him out for attending ‘Diddy parties’ something Jakes has denied.
Pastor Gino Jennings condemns T.D. Jakes for attending Diddy's parties and says he wouldn't accept $1 million from Denzel Washington, Oprah, or Tyler Perry if they donated to his church.

We have no idea who is leveraging who but the message we want to heavily focus on is praying for all the victims of DV and giving them real OUT LOUD support.
