Joel Osteen Is Returning Over $4 Million Dollars To The Government. Here's Why

So, would you consider Joel Osteen’s so-called megachurch to be a small business?

AsWSISnotes, the Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas counts 368 people in its employ.

And to be fair, the loans were intended for any business with fewer than 500 workers.

And no, the church’s leader did not personally receive any of the funds, as reported byForbes.

But now, Osteen is returning the money.
