The Sound of 50: Celebrating 50 Years of The Ministry of Bishop T.D. Jakes

This special service traces the journey of a man whose faith took root long before the world was watching.

Through glimpses into a childhood that instilled the will to keep trying after failure to his first sermon and his love for studying the Word, we see Bishop T.D. Jakes’ vision for what others discounted and a love for people that reaches wide and deep.

Hear from older siblings who witnessed his calling firsthand and from longtime friends who remember the first time they heard him preach. Follow his sound as it spread across the globe — from Australia to Zimbabwe, Haiti to Israel, Nigeria to the U.K. — and into books, film, and music that carried a message of mercy, grace, and manifestation.

The Co-Senior Pastors reflect on his courage to be different and the groundwork laid by one man’s yes. And Bishop himself looks back on Pentecost, on the harvest, on grace, and on a truth that carried him for 50 years.

This is 50 years of ministry. This is the sound that never stopped.
