There is no catalyst in his message for one to feel and know how loathsome our behavior is in Gods eyes. How close we are to eternal damnation. The “positive reassurance” and “prosperity” gospel are poor substitutes for the real substance. The command was to “Feed my sheep”. The sheep are underfed and malnourished on the Osteen diet.

I think the sheep need to be fed, but also the sheepdog to nip at their heels to keep them from straying (for their own good).

As I see it, Joel preaches a Gospel message but it is not balanced teaching one would get from other types of Protestant churches...But then Joel will tell you that...

He's a good preacher but if you want balance, you have to go somewhere else...I believe Joel encourages people to read their bibles...
