Open about her Christian faith, Kristin Chenoweth revealed her admiration for Joel Osteen in a 2010 interview with The New York Times.

“But Sundays are in my view God’s day, and I do try to do something to remember that,” she said about her plans for the weekend.

“There’s a minister out of Houston I like called Joel Osteen. If I’m going to Our Lady of Sealy Posturepedic in the morning, I’ll watch him at night.”
