I have heard a lot of good things about this guy but when I hear stories like this it makes me think someone is too caught up in thinking they are the only one God can use,etc.

I have decided it is almost impossible for these really successful ministries to avoid problems with ego.

Surely out of 300 million people in America there is a good pastor who can devote 100% of his time to that church in California and not spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in jet fuel.

I do not know the man and have heard very little about him so I have no personal opinion. But this idea is a recipie for disaster in his home and honestly his church. At the end neither church has a pastor. My thoughts.

I agree. It can be done successfully if it's only temporary. But a pator cannot give 100% to two houses. Eventually a choice has to be made because it's like having a wife and a girlfriend at the same time. They both get jealous and a choice has to be made.

I did a Google Video search for Jentezen Franklin and only 2 videos come up. That is amazing. And both of those videos are advertisements of something he was going to speak at.

So I went to his website where they have 24/7 streaming video. But I can't see it unless I sign up for a Faith Pass.

This guy is starting to remind me of Clint Brown. He seems to have pretty tight controls on his product. If he is on TBN regularly etc and is so good one would think that SOMEBODY would have posted a video of one of his services.

How can you say this!

About the only thing they have in common is breathing through their nose and mouth!!

I can assure you that Jentezen Franklin is the real deal. He pastors Free Chapel Worship Center in Gainesville, Georgia and has well over 8,000 come through the doors every Sunday.

He is also married and has 5 children. He has a jet that will get him from Gainesville to Orange County, CA - he says in 3 hours. So he will leave at 3 PM EST and get there at 3 PM and preach at 6 PM on Sunday nights in CA.
The church he is taking in California seats over 1000 and is appraised at $50 M and owes 5.5 M and has less that 200 people there.

He has the same style as Anthony Mangun and is a great man. The Tenney's were just there - preaching on Pentecost Sunday and many Hundreds were filled with the Holy Ghost. Free Chapel LOVES Bishop & Sister Tenney.

JF has books, tapes, videos, CDs, DVD's and I have no clue why you cannot find them. He is the most popular speaker on TBN at this time and is in demand around the world and speaks almost every night of the week to crowds of thousands.

Clint Brown is a great man of God isn't he? He's talented and that's all it takes for some here to claim he is anointed. Casting down doctrine for dollars also makes him cutting edge.

I can find them... I can find them all day long.

I just can't find them without a credit card number or other such payment method.

I'm not saying that I have made a conclusion about him. I am just saying that it appears that he has a good grip on his product and it doesn't get out there on the open internet.
