Born June 9, 1957 he is an American pastor of The Potter's House, a 30,000 member non-denominational mega church in Dallas, Texas.

Thomas Dexter "T. D." Jakes Sr. church services and evangelistic sermons are broadcast on The Potter's Touch, which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He also airs on The Word Network.

Other aspects of Jakes' ministry include an annual revival called "MegaFest" (which draws more than 100,000 people during that period of time), an annual women's conference called "Woman Thou Art Loosed", and gospel music recordings.

T D Jakes Ministries founded The Potter's House in 1996, with about 50 families that had relocated with him from his former congregation, Greater Emmanuel Temple of Faith in Cross Lanes, West Virginia. In its 11-year existence it has grown to over 30,000 members.

Both Jakes' and his Potter's House church are unrelated to the Potter's House Christian Fellowship, a Pentecostal denomination founded in Arizona in 1970.

Pastor Jake and his wife Serita Ann Jakes Have 5 children (Jamar, Jermaine, Cora, Sarah, and Thomas Jakes Jr.).

Pastor Jakes is a strong advocate of abstinence and has made appearances on the subject ranging from Good Morning America to Dr. Phil.

For the 2006 PBS program African American Lives, T D Jakes had his DNA analyzed; his Y chromosome showed that he is descended from the Yoruba people of what is now Nigeria.

According to his family history, it was also suggested that he was descended from the Igbo people through his paternal grandmother.

The movie Woman Thou Art Loosed is based on Jakes' novel of the same name. Not Easily Broken is another movie being made that is based on another novel by T D Jakes.

From Dallas to Washington DC to Nairobi, prison inmates, Hurricane Katrina evacuees and Kenyan natives alike have been touched by the message of faith and God's love through T D Jakes Ministries.

T. D. Jakes has helped millions of women discover the glorious truth of who they are. His bestseller The Lady, Her Lover and Her Lord was a groundbreaking look at a woman’s most important relationships-with God, with the man in her life, and with herself-and was the first step toward hope and healing for women across the nation.

Now Bishop Jakes brings his unique perspective to this revealing look into the heart and mind of a man.

Men feel the pressure of fulfilling many roles in life: husband, father, son, businessman, and leader. Now Bishop Jakes comes to their aid with this guidebook to help every man understand his own emotional inner workings, and to offer biblically inspired direction toward being the man God wants him to be.

Practical, inspirational, and refreshingly honest, He-Motions is also the ultimate source for women who seek to comprehend and care for the men in their lives. It will help them decode men’s often-baffling behavior and will offer eye-opening insights that will bring greater intimacy and healing to their relationships.
