I guess everyone missed the point that the Bible is clear that Preachers are to 'the husband of one wife' so Meyers CANNOT be a preacher.

She is nothing but a con-artist.

No, it says that bishops (i.e., elders, pastors) must be the husband of one wife. Preachers may be single (like Paul). The reason Joyce Meyer cannot be a preacher is that women are not permitted to teach or have authority over a man (I Timothy 2:12-13).

Negative. Church leaders should be the husband of one wife. There were several women evangelists in Paul's time.
