For Alexandra Osteen, growing up in a megachurch and being raised by world-famous parents was surprisingly normal. The daughter of Lakewood Church's Joel and Victoria Osteen, Alexandra has made a name for herself in recent years as a worship leader for her Houston congregation and a powerful voice in Lakewood music, with her new album, Oh, how valuable it is,this month.
“They've always been my parents, and I could brag about them for days,” Alexandra Osteen told Crosswalk Headlines. “They're amazing parents, and they're the same person onstage that they are at home.”
Lakewood Church is the fourth-largest church in the United States, with 45,000 people attending each week and millions more watching on television and online around the world. Alexandra was about 7 years old when the church moved to the old Summit/Compaq Center, former home of the NBA's Houston Rockets.
“As I grew up, I… [that] “This is not normal,” she said of the church's size. “This is the hand of God who has blessed us and given us this ministry. We have to steward it and do our best and always point to Jesus.”
Oh, how splendid! The 13-song album features collaborations with Tauren Wells and Alexander Pappas, as well as songs written by Brandon Lake, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Mitch Wong and Chris Brown.
She said the album is a testimony to “the goodness of God that we've seen in our lives.” The album was recorded live at Lakewood Church.
