I don't know that he would be preaching anything that says that, so, I'd say he practices what he preaches, and both are trash

He obviously centers his sermons around the Christian Bible. I suppose I would have to search if he's ever mentioned the anti-rich-man references like the well known "love of money is the root of all evil" and "easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle."

I doubt he'd reference those, my Christian friends and I don't exactly know him for preaching the Gospel. I haven't listened to him much at all thankfully, but it seems he's most interested in self-motivation kind of stuff to go get rich.

It's no man's place to pass judgement, but I do think his approach to his ministry could definitely use some refocusing. He lives a lavish lifestyle and many in his own community live in poverty. I remember there was a big stink during hurricane Katrina where he at first turned away refugees that were stuck in New Orleans. I think he ultimately relented and let them in after it made national news and his precious image started to spoil from it.

I remember that, but I think it was the more recent Hurricane Harvey in his hometown of Houston.
