He is a very humble man. His wife is the force behind him. He will sometimes cry when he is sharing things about his life. It's quite moving, you would have to be pretty hard hearted not to be affected by it.

I just watched an interview with Mr. Osteen after I read your thread, aussie. The video link was sittin' at the top of the CNN page since last week so I gave it a watch. He doesn't seem as over-the-top as the old school (and totally hilarious) televangelists, I'll say that. I read that he gets 7 million viewers a week and is worth $40 million, so he must be doing something right. Here's the video link to his interview with Wolf Blitzer last week if you're interested.
