Joel Osteen has seen the skit. He thought it was funny.

The Lakewood Church pastor sat down with Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast this week, where Paul asked him directly whether he had watched Druski's viral "Collect and Pray" megachurch parody and what he thought of it. "Well, it was funny, you know? He's making fun of it. I just thought it was funny," Osteen said at the 52-minute mark, according to Complex.

Released in January, the "Collect and Pray" sketch features Druski playing a designer-draped megachurch pastor, flying over his congregation on a wire harness and delivering a sermon designed to extract money from his flock. It went massively viral and touched a nerve far beyond comedy circles, drawing both praise from people who saw it as sharp satire of prosperity gospel culture and backlash from those who felt it disrespected religion.

The skit was widely read as a parody of pastors like Osteen, who has faced long-running criticism for operating out of a Houston arena and reportedly spending $100 million on its renovation while maintaining significant personal wealth. Osteen addressed the renovation cost directly in the same Impaulsive interview. "I can't do that with a mindset of, 'Oh, we're not supposed to have anything,'" he said, defending his prosperity theology approach.

Osteen used the Druski question as a launching pad to explain how Lakewood grew, pushing back on the idea that the church's size was ever the goal. "We never tried to have a big church. It really wasn't a goal. It was just a goal to help people," he told Paul. He traced the church's origins to 1959, when his parents started with 90 congregants, and said it grew to thousands by the time his father died. "We just didn't want to turn people away. We had to just make room for more people."

Also during the interview, Osteen commented on his complicated history with Kanye West, saying: "What I see now is not the Ye that I knew. I pray for him."
