Joel Olsteen Apologizes For Saying “Balls Deep” During Radio Show

Houston, TX — Controversial American evangelical pastor, televangelist and author Joel Olsteen had to apologize on Sunday for accidentally referring to one of his church members as being “balls deep” in debt. The comments were made during his weekly SiriusXM radio program “Wealth Through Jesus.”

“I certainly want to make it clear to everyone that what I said was off-color,” said Mr. Olsteen earlier today on his website. “But taken in context, it made complete sense. Remember, God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us. And sometimes when getting that point across, I got ahead of myself. I’m sorry for anyone who misunderstood what I was trying to say.”

This isn’t the first time Olsteen has felt the heavy hammer of public criticism. During the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, he received significant criticism in response to not making Lakewood Church available as an emergency shelter for those displaced by the storm. The church has over a 606,000-square-feet of space, with an additional 16,000-seat in the basketball arena.

Several insiders claim that the infamous preacher “didn’t want to get the facilities dirty.”
What Went Down?

The vulgar comments this past week came during a heated exchange with a California man who had called into his SiriusXM radio show. Daniel Myles of Oakland, CA attempted to chastise Olsteen for his opulent lifestyle and his ‘prosperity theology’ that says people are rewarded with wealth for their allegiance to God.




Daniel Myles: “How can you sit there in your comfortable studio, with your fancy car out front and tell people the reason they’re not wealthy like you, is because they don’t believe enough in Jesus and God?”

Joel Olsteen: “Hey, thank you for your call. Look, I never talk about money, I just talk about people’s finances, OK? I’ve known many people who were balls-deep in debt and it was the discipline brought through their faith in Jesus Christ that allowed them to pull out of it and come clean.”

During his apology, Mr. Olsteen claimed that he didn’t understand that the phrase was used in adult films and also said that he didn’t intent to compare one’s personal debt and finances to such acts.

When reached for comment, Mr. Olsteen’s organization did not respond.

That's not even the proper use of that phrase. To be balls deep in debt would be a good thing because that means he's fucking his debt really well.

Even if it wasn't a sexual metaphor, your balls are only halfway up your body so he's basically saying "my debt is only half as bad as it could possibly be, because it's only up to my balls and not my ears."

I guess being a religious person can leave you a little uneducated in proper use of dirty colloquialisms.

he preaches that fucking over people and being greedy is good because God wants Christians to be rich.

You know that right?

If you're poor and Christian he preaches that God is punishing you. The guy's a greedy scamming scumbag.

Having more faith means tithing more to Joel. The more you give, the less debt, right?

Yea I noticed the evangelicals are all now preaching that greed is now good. These people can't even get their own Messiahs teaching right.. or is it Trump is their new Messiah and Jesus was a liberal..
