Former Bishop Duane Youngblood recently appeared on the Larry Reid Live Show, where he candidly discussed a pivotal encounter with Bishop T.D. Jakes. During the interview, Youngblood recalled an incident from his youth that left a lasting impact on him.
In the early 2000s and at just 18 years old, Youngblood and a friend had the opportunity to dine with Bishop Jakes following a sermon Jakes delivered on his own birthday. Reflecting on the night, Youngblood said, “I was able to convince my mother to let me drive her car since I didn’t have a vehicle.”
