How to Be a Safe Place for Others | Joel Osteen Mother's Day Message 2025

In this powerful 2025 Mother’s Day message, Pastor Joel Osteen delivers a heartfelt sermon on how to be a safe place for the people around you. In a world full of judgment, cancel culture, and harsh criticism, God calls us to show mercy, extend grace, and help restore the broken. Joel reminds us that we’re never more like God than when we’re lifting others up—not tearing them down. Discover how to live with compassion, love without condition, and help people heal through grace and understanding. Plus, celebrate 66 years of Lakewood Church and hear an emotional tribute to mothers and legacy from the Osteen family.
