Daystar TV Removes Greg Laurie and Jack Hibbs Broadcasts Amid Scandal Allegations

Daystar TV, the Texas-based Christian cable-and-satellite broadcaster entangled in allegations of sexual abuse and financial misconduct, has removed two more prominent programs from its lineup. “Harvest with Greg Laurie” and “Real Life with Jack Hibbs” are among the latest to be dropped, according to The Roys Report. Both shows are hosted by well-known California pastors with extensive radio and television ministries.

Greg Laurie, the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, is recognized for his role in large-scale Christian crusades and his portrayal in the 2023 film “Jesus Revolution.” Jack Hibbs, who hosts “Real Life” nationally, leads Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and has faced criticism for endorsing Steve Garvey in the 2024 U.S. Senate race in California.

The departures mark the 24th Christian program removed from Daystar’s schedule, including a dozen prominent broadcasters. Other notable exits include Joyce Meyer, Ray Comfort, Jesse Duplantis, Lance Wallnau, James Merritt, and Jack Graham. Adrian Rogers, a former Southern Baptist pastor, has also seen his broadcasts removed from the network.

Daystar has been under scrutiny since November 2024, when Jonathan Lamb, son of the network’s founders, accused his mother, Joni Lamb, of concealing an incident of sexual abuse involving his 5-year-old daughter. TRR later reported that Joni Lamb denied using ministry funds for a honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas with her second husband, Doug Weiss. However, expense records suggest otherwise, and Daystar did not provide documentation showing reimbursement for the over $100,000 expense.

A probe into the child sexual abuse allegations by Jonathan and Suzy Lamb in Colleyville, Texas, concluded without charges being filed. Texas has no statute of limitations on such cases, and new evidence could lead to further investigation.

TRR has reached out to ministry offices for comments from Hibbs, Laurie, and Daystar, but no responses have been received.
