In a stunning turn of events that has rocked the religious community, Pastor Gino Jennings has reportedly been arrested after Bishop T.D. Jakes filed a lawsuit accusing him of orchestrating the burning of the iconic Potter’s House. The dramatic incident, which unfolded alongside the release of alleged surveillance footage, has sparked intense speculation and controversy.
The Alleged Arson
The Potter’s House, the flagship megachurch founded by T.D. Jakes in Dallas, Texas, was reportedly set ablaze in a devastating fire that caused millions of dollars in damages. Local authorities have confirmed that the blaze is being investigated as arson, and newly surfaced evidence has put Gino Jennings in the crosshairs.
According to Jakes’ lawsuit, Jennings is accused of masterminding the attack as part of a bitter feud that has been brewing between the two pastors for years. Sources close to the investigation claim that Jennings’ public criticism of Jakes and megachurch culture might have escalated into this shocking act of destruction.
The Lawsuit
In a statement, Jakes’ legal team announced a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Jennings, alleging not only arson but also defamation and malicious intent to destroy the Potter’s House’s reputation. “This was more than an attack on a building—it was an attack on faith, community, and everything the Potter’s House stands for,” the statement read.
Jennings, known for his outspoken views and no-holds-barred sermons, has frequently targeted Jakes in public, accusing him of prioritizing wealth over spiritual guidance.
Jennings’ Arrest
Reports indicate that Jennings was taken into custody early this morning after investigators discovered what they described as “compelling evidence” linking him to the fire. While the details of the evidence remain under wraps, law enforcement has confirmed that Jennings is facing charges of arson and conspiracy.
Reactions from Both Camps
The news has further polarized the followers of both religious leaders. Supporters of T.D. Jakes have rallied behind their bishop, expressing outrage over the alleged attack. “The Potter’s House is more than a church—it’s a symbol of hope and resilience,” one congregant said.
