Why Victoria Osteen Is Destroying Lakewood From the Inside?

But behind the smiling sermons and polished branding, something inside is quietly unraveling.

This documentary investigates Victoria Osteen’s growing influence inside Lakewood Church—and how her theology, leadership style, and corporate messaging have fundamentally reshaped what was once a traditional evangelical ministry.

As sermons softened, doctrine blurred, and accountability disappeared, Lakewood transformed from a church into a brand. Former members, critics, and theological analysts now argue that the damage didn’t come from outside attacks—but from internal drift at the highest level of leadership.
