A Careful Investigation Is Needed I’m convinced that the many people who took the time to ask these questions want concrete answers, and that they will find both of these statements the same way I do: unsatisfactory! Is that a yes? Or a no? What exactly is she saying? Worse, on her FAQ page it says she is non-denominational. A “prosperity gospel” that solely equates blessing with financial gain is out of balance and could damage a person’s walk with God.”

Websites, articles, books and video documentaries can be found which attempt to connect Joyce Meyer to outspoken Word of Faith teachers. Yet her teaching is not without controversy.

Many are inspired by her story: nearly her entire childhood marred with horrific sexual abuse, she overcame, and maintaining a positive attitude, has attained unfathomable success. She has become a New York Times bestselling author, with 70 books to her name and is received with “rock star” status at over a dozen worldwide conferences each year. Her radio ministry reaches an estimated three billion people worldwide. Joyce Meyer is one the most influential religious teachers of our day. If you prefer the eBook version, click here to download.
