TD Jakes, the influential leader of The Potter’s House Church in Dallas, Texas, and a prominent figure in the Christian community, has been battling an undisclosed illness for several weeks. His absence from the pulpit and public view has left many fans and congregants concerned, sparking widespread speculation about the nature of his health issues. Although Jakes’ family and church officials have remained tight-lipped about the details, the mystery surrounding his condition has only deepened.

During a recent appearance on Foxx’s podcast, the actor gave an update on Jakes’ health and provided some much-needed clarity on the situation.
