T.D. Jakes, a New York Times best-selling author and entrepreneur, has announced the launch of a new podcast series in partnership with iHeartMedia. The weekly show, titled “NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes,” is set to premiere on November 14 and will feature high-profile guests including Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Jeezy, Mellody Hobson, Dr. Charles Amos, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and Jason Wilson.
The podcast aims to bring together influential figures from business, entertainment, wellness, and culture for discussions about life transitions and personal growth. Each episode will explore how guests have navigated pivotal moments in their lives.
“This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a platform for perspective. I’ve spent my life speaking to people’s souls. Now, I want to sit with their stories,” said Jakes. “NXT Chapter is about mapping what comes next for us, for our communities, and for the world we’re building together. I’m glad to be launching into my next chapter with iHeart and have the opportunity to reach a whole new audience on this journey. America’s story is still being written, but too often we speak past one another instead of with one another,” he added. “NXT Chapter invites us to pause, listen, and begin drafting a future rooted in clarity, compassion, and shared purpose.”
Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts commented: “At a time when people are searching for hope and more connection, ‘NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes’ is the perfect podcast to remind us of what is possible when people from different walks of life come together.” He added that they are looking forward to helping Bishop Jakes connect with listeners across the iHeart network.
Jakes has been recognized globally as “The Bishop” through his leadership at The Potter’s House Church in Dallas and his work across media ventures such as filmmaking and philanthropy. The podcast was recorded less than a year after Jakes publicly discussed his near-fatal heart attack during an interview on The Today Show; several episodes will reflect on his recovery process.
“NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes” will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts beginning November 14 via the iHeartRadio app and other major platforms.
