Bishop T.D. Jakes is launching a new weekly podcast, “NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes,” aimed at helping listeners navigate life transitions and explore their purpose. The series, in partnership with iHeartMedia, premieres Friday, Nov. 14. 

The podcast will feature conversations with high-profile guests including Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Jeezy, Mellody Hobson, Sarah Jakes Roberts. Each episode will explore the setbacks, revelations and life pivots that shaped the guests’ journeys and what came after. 

I’ve spent my life speaking to people’s souls. Now, I want to sit with their stories,” Jakes said. “NXT Chapter is about mapping what comes next for us, for our communities and for the world we’re building together. America’s story is still being written, but too often we speak past one another instead of with one another. NXT Chapter invites us to pause, listen and begin drafting a future rooted in clarity, compassion and shared purpose.” 

Jakes, founder of The Potter’s House Church in Dallas, has long been known as a faith leader, , author and media innovator. The podcast comes less than a year after he revealed a near-fatal heart attack and will include reflections on his recovery and renewed perspective. He recently voluntarily dismissed a defamation lawsuit against a Pennsylvania pastor who had accused him of attempted sexual assault. 

The podcast will be available on the iHeartRadio app and all platforms where podcasts are distributed.
