If you want to hear me preach, come to church. “This is not religious programming - it’s hope programming. That’s the basis and foundation of who we are as people. “No matter who you are or how you define yourself, you are loved equally. We faced it all head-on, and we faced their challenges with love and respect. And when that’s off, I’m sure this Type 2 diabetes will go the way of the dodo.
I can be the miracle by not eating certain things and taking care of myself. “But I see that having diabetes is an invitation to discipline. I know that diabetes is a threshold kind of thing and it can all go downhill at the same time. “I don’t take my medicine like I should I don’t eat the things I should or exercise. “When I feel like I have it under control, I let it go,” he said. John Gray’s ongoing struggle with diabetes is also discussed, dissected and prayed over, and he admitted that he still hasn’t gotten the condition under control, though he isn’t too upset by that fact. “Having diabetes is an invitation to discipline. That doesn’t anesthetize me to pain, issues, trials or failures, but it does give me a perspective to those places.” “We didn’t sit down and say, ‘How can we not scare people with our Jesus?’ You’ll see a black man trying to be a better husband and father whose lens is faith. Lakewood is a very nonreligious church - we have every walk of life at each service.”
PASTOR JOHN GRAY TV
“You can’t let a TV show keep you from connecting with people and preaching and meeting the needs of the flock,” said Gray, who hopes to reach viewers as diverse as the congregants who show up in droves “at every Lakewood service. I support and celebrate you.’ Pastor Joel knows my heart well enough to know that Aventer and I will honor Lakewood as a local church and won’t allow a show from doing what we have to do on a weekly basis. Osteen “didn’t give me advice as much as encouragement,” Gray noted. Gray’s book, I Am Number 8: Overlooked and Undervalued, but Not Forgotten by God, will be published by Osteen’s publishing house, FaithWords. And, of course, Gray is best known for his affiliation with Lakewood Church, where he preaches on Wednesdays to a 9,000-strong congregation. He hosts the daily John Gray World television program on the Hillsong Channel and Trinity Broadcasting Network and has also starred in The Preachers, a talk show on Fox.
PASTOR JOHN GRAY SERIES
The OWN series isn’t Gray’s first foray into nonscripted television. The Book of Gray already has a likely homegrown audience because of Gray’s affiliation with Osteen, the handsome and charismatic media titan who has amassed millions of followers worldwide via best-selling books, arena tours, a SiriusXM Christian radio channel and a hugely popular weekly Lakewood Church telecast. “Skeptics, or people with biases or who aren’t interested in church at all - they’ll see a show that’s relatable to all people.” “So, hopefully, people from all backgrounds - faith or no faith - take a look at the show and give us a chance,” Gray said. Gray said that when people come to the show, they’ll see something that’s funny, joyous and hopeful. It doesn’t disrespect or sensationalize faith, and my wife and I aren’t trying to proselytize.” I also hope that people who are regular attendees of church will watch, because it gives an honest portrayal of the humanity of people of faith. Said Gray: “I hope authentic people who have areas of brokenness in their lives and questions of faith connect with the show. This is really a hybrid of a formatted show and a family doc, so it’s very different and uplifting at the same time.”
“She’s helping people in that show, so hopefully that same audience will really transfer easily to ours and watch. “Our lead-in is Iyanla, which is the network’s highest-rated unscripted show,” Cornick said.
time slot on Saturday nights will find its viewers. Rob Cornick, the show’s executive producer, is hopeful that the series’ 10 p.m. Season 1 follows Gray as he guides a number of people, including a woman whose home was destroyed after a flood, a father concerned about his daughter’s addiction to alcohol, a couple trying to overcome infidelity on their path to the altar, and a military veteran who is trying to work through the trauma of sexual abuse, which brings up demons from Gray’s own painful past. “We didn’t sit down and say, ‘How can we not scare people with our Jesus?’ ”
