Bishop TD Jakes’ Holy Week Challenge: ‘Have Dinner With Your
Family This Week’
Research shows that most families gather around the table and eat dinner together most nights of the week.
For those that don’t, mega pastor Bishop TD Jakes, 56, is issuing his very own Holy Week challenge: eat dinner
at home with the family at least once.

During Palm Sunday worship on April 13, after the charismatic preacher observed that, “This is the week that
we set aside and we worship, and we honor, and recognize the extreme price that Christ paid for us,” he made
the special appeal.

“I’m going to challenge you this week, even if this is not normally your custom, to have dinner with your family
this week,” Jakes said. “Just bring them around the table and sit down, and eat, and have a word of prayer.”

Does that mean break out the good china, grandma’s special recipes and whip up a Thanksgiving Day spread
fit for kings and queens? Well, not necessarily—unless, of course, you want to. “If it’s one time, if it’s a chili dog,
do it together,” Jakes said. “Let’s have a worship experience all week long.”

In addition to family prayer and bonding over food, the leader reminded everyone, “This is the Passion Week.
This is a time of deeper consecration.”

In honor of it, he urged, “Augment the way that you do things and go into another dimension of how you do it,
so that you can really commemorate what Christ has done for us.”

A family that prays (and eats) together, stays together.
