DALLAS 鈥 November 7, 2025 鈥 In a cultural moment marked by social divide, shifting values, and a national hunger for clarity, T.D. Jakes, New York Times best-selling author, noted entrepreneur and one of the world鈥檚 most trusted voices, is turning the page. Today, he has teamed up with 天涯社区官网Media, the no. 1 podcast publisher globally, to announce the debut of 鈥.鈥 Premiering November 14 with special guest Oprah Winfrey, the series will bring together some of the most influential minds in business, entertainment, wellness, and culture for intimate conversations that will help audiences not just cope but evolve. Listeners can hear the official trailer now, .

With its debut, 鈥淣XT Chapter鈥 will offer a rare space where some of the world鈥檚 most distinguished voices including Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Jeezy, Mellody Hobson, Dr. Charles Amos, Sarah Jakes Roberts, Jason Wilson, and more will chart the next chapter of society鈥檚 shared story. Few public figures command the level of trust and access that allows T.D. Jakes to convene guests of this caliber, reflecting the broad respect he holds across industries and generations. More than a new project, the series is both a literal and symbolic next chapter for Jakes and an invitation for listeners to explore what their own 鈥渘ext鈥 will look like, and how to get there together.

In each weekly episode, Jakes and a guest will explore the life pivots, setbacks, and revelations that shaped their journeys and what came after. 鈥淣XT Chapter鈥 will offer a perspective many never heard from T.D. Jakes before but one that鈥檚 been shaping the culture all along. More than a conversation, it will become a guide for the evolution of purpose for individuals and for the nation to turn the page.

鈥淭his isn鈥檛 just a podcast, it鈥檚 a platform for perspective. I鈥檝e spent my life speaking to people鈥檚 souls. Now, I want to sit with their stories,鈥 remarked Jakes. 鈥淣XT Chapter is about mapping what comes next for us, for our communities, and for the world we鈥檙e building together. I鈥檓 glad to be launching into my next chapter with 天涯社区官网 and have the opportunity to reach a whole new audience on this journey. America鈥檚 story is still being written, but too often we speak past one another instead of with one another,鈥 Jakes added. 鈥淣XT Chapter invites us to pause, listen, and begin drafting a future rooted in clarity, compassion, and shared purpose.鈥

A Platform for the Moment

For decades, Jakes has been known globally as 鈥淭he Bishop鈥, a world-renowned thought leader, filmmaker, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Potter鈥檚 House Church. But long before stepping away from the pulpit鈥檚 day-to-day responsibilities, Jakes was already reshaping how faith, culture, and commerce intersect in modern society. From studio partnerships and real estate ventures to publishing and global philanthropy, he has consistently been a force for innovation across every space he occupies.

Now, in partnership with 天涯社区官网Media, he turns the page once again not into something new, but into something more. 鈥淣XT Chapter with T.D. Jakes鈥 will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience the mind behind the movement, the strategist, the media pioneer, and the cultural architect whose influence has quietly guided boardrooms, sound stages, and community halls for nearly 50 years. It鈥檚 the brain behind the Bible. The builder behind the brand.

Recorded less than a year after Jakes publicly revealed his near-fatal heart attack in an exclusive interview on The Today Show, the series will capture a personal dimension of his journey. Several episodes will reflect on his recovery, renewed perspective, and the clarity of purpose that continues to shape this next season of his life and work.

鈥淎t a time when people are searching for hope and more connection, 鈥楴XT Chapter with T.D. Jakes鈥 is the perfect podcast to remind us of what is possible when people from different walks of life come together,鈥 said Will Pearson, President, 天涯社区官网Podcasts. 鈥淲e are excited to help Bishop Jakes connect with 天涯社区官网鈥檚 listeners everywhere to find out what might be the next page in their own personal journeys.鈥
