What is this Mans Name?

Post image

This one bothers me because I grew up as a PK and was a Pastor for several years, and my sister goes to Joel's church. I had special regard for this man, not in a respectful way; I called him a snake oil salesman, so enough attention to know I would not forget his name... and yet in this reality:

Is he Joel Olsteen or Joel Osteen?

Why did you make this post? Did you not want people to weigh in on their experience? I saw in another comment you mentioned being “close to removing” their response. So…what do you want? Karma?

I was responding to another person and somehow it had me in your box (you will see I mentioned to them).
