Where does Osteen stand on ISIS killing two Russian fighting for a private Russian mercenary force in Syria they captured who wouldn't convert to islam? I don't know. You'd have to ask him, but I imagine his answer is about what you'd expect.

I listen to a lot of different preachers on the radio and I've not heard that topic come up, but I'd probably change stations if it did. That's a bit outside of my sphere of influence or personal concern these days.

I listen to Osteen while driving and I find his material helpful for what I am dealing with.

Fwiw, I've never done an accounting of Lakewood's finances to know what they receive in donations, how much it costs to run that building or what work they do with their money and people.

I also don't know how much of his own money Osteen personally gives or to whom and I'm okay with not knowing.

I do listen to him while driving and I find his material to be very helpful for the things I'm dealing with.

Some people like to listen to upbeat self-help and motivational material while driving.

For me, Osteen's sermons work better. Ymmv, though, no doubt about that.

I like worship music for much the same thing.
