As the Russia-Ukraine war drags on past the two-week mark — and as some 2.5 million people have now left Ukraine in search of safety — prominent faith leaders from all across America continue to share their views, wisdom and prayers for the Ukrainian people during this horror.
T.D. Jakes, who runs The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital this week, “The images of brutality from the last two weeks have been hard to watch. But it’s important that we do, as there are many hard lessons the American people can take away from this tragic situation.”

Triumph in this case is not simply the restoration of democracy, although that’s the ultimate goal. Ukrainians are currently triumphant in their spirit of patriotism, which they’re displaying through their relentless fight for what is right.”

Jakes, who is also a best-selling author, filmmaker, global entrepreneur and philanthropist, said there are lessons here to be learned by Americans.
Chief among them is this: “Freedom is expensive. In the days ahead, we’ll all pay some price to support the Ukrainian people. It will be difficult for many of us as gas prices rise. Yet when we compare the price of gas against the price of blood, against the death of children, the price of gas seems bearable.”
