NEW YORK, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the
coronavirus crisis impacts our nation, SiriusXM's Joel Osteen Radio
will feature special live programming featuring Joel and Victoria Osteen, co-pastors of Lakewood
Church. Created as a platform to offer listeners hope,
inspiration, and encouragement, Joel Osteen Radio is heard on
SiriusXM channel 128 on SiriusXM radios, on the SiriusXM app, and
at home on a variety of connected devices and speakers.
Today, March 23, at 5:00 pm ET Joel Osteen will host a special
edition of his weekly program Joel Osteen Live featuring his
brother, Dr. Paul Osteen, who is a
vascular surgeon and medical missionary. Joel will also be
taking calls from listeners across the nation discussing ways to
stay in faith and how to help others during this time of national
emergency.
"In these times of crises, this is the time for us to shine, to
be a bright light, to be a voice of peace and hope for neighbors
and friends. And, it's a time for all of us to draw closer to
God. We have a God that's in control. He is fighting our battles
and He's got us in the palm of his hand. I'm glad to be able to
talk to you all through SiriusXM in the days ahead, and I hope to
hear from many of you out there as well. Let's stay
connected, let's encourage each other and help lift each other's
spirits in this time of need," said Pastor Joel.
Osteen's wife and co-pastor, Victoria
Osteen, will also be taking phone calls from listeners
across America on her weekly program, Victoria Osteen Live,
Wednesdays at 12:00 pm ET, while
sharing a personal message of hope and inspiration for her
audience.
This weekend and in the weekends ahead, as Americans are unable
to attend religious services in person, SiriusXM will air "virtual"
services from Lakewood Church. Services can be heard Saturdays
at 8:00 pm ET and Sundays at
9:30 am ET, 12:00 pm ET, 3:00 pm
ET (Spanish language service) and 8:00 pm ET.
Lakewood Church has also announced it is partnering with the
Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center to hold an emergency blood drive
beginning in the Houston area
today, March 23rd through
Friday, March 27th from 9:00
am to 6:00 pm CT daily. The
nation is facing a severe blood shortage due to a large number of
blood drive cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic, according
to the American Red Cross. To address the need, mobile blood
donation buses will be located on-site at Lakewood Church and the
Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center is following all heightened CDC
recommendations regarding sanitization and safety to provide a
clean, safe environment for donations. By appointment only. To
sign up go to LakewoodChurch.com
