Early life
Lamb was born as Joni Trammell on July 19, 1960. Her family lived in Greenville, South Carolina through her formative years. Her family were members of the Tremont Avenue Church of God, where Marcus Lamb ministered as a visiting preacher during a revival. The couple met each other at her home church and were married two years later, in 1982. They traveled for the next few years, visiting churches as evangelists. Then, in 1984, they settled in Montgomery, Alabama where they purchased a full power television station and began teaching the Bible on broadcast television. This continued until 1990, when the couple moved to Dallas and formed another station in the larger Texas market. By 1998, they had raised the funds necessary to start Daystar.[1][2]
Personal life
Joni and Marcus Lamb had three children: Jonathan, Rachel, and Rebecca.
Marcus Lamb had an extramarital affair, which both partners publicly acknowledged in 2010.[3] In a statement released by their marriage counselor, Fred Kendall stated "He had one inappropriate period of misbehavior, with one person and it wasn't a man. It wasn't a transvestite. It was with a woman; a Christian woman."
Daystar programming
Joni Table Talk
Lamb hosts her self-titled half-hour program Joni Table Talk (initially titled Joni) each weekday on Daystar. The format of the show is typically a round table discussion with other ministers, singers and celebrities discussing a wide range of topics that combine contemporary cultural issues and the Christian faith. In 2004, the show was awarded as the Best Television Talk Show by the National Religious Broadcasters.[4][5]
Ministry Now!
Lamb co-hosts the Daystar flagship program Ministry Now! (previously called, Marcus and Joni and initially titled Celebration). The hour-long program is broadcast five days a week on their Daystar network. Joni's children share host duties and discuss news related to the network, ministry, and issues of interest to the Christian faith with daily guest(s). Joni and her daughters sing with the Daystar Singers during the Daystar program.[6][5]
Controversies
Anti-LGBT views
According to statements following an extramarital affair by Marcus Lamb and private jet controversy, Joni Lamb holds biblical views. Lamb prays for all sinners and believes in redemption. She has also taught the truth from the written word of God that homosexuality is a sin and all are forgiven when they admit their sins and repent. [7]
Anti-vaccination and voter fraud conspiracies
Lamb also uses family platforms and shows to inform the public of scientific evidence that has not been censored by the mass media and the billionaires that own the microphones of the main stream media. "The Lamb family have used their platforms to inform the public of the Biden administration’s goal to give the WHO the authority to oversee healthcare in America. The vote will occur in Switzerland in May 2023. The WHO will be allowed to shut down the world commerce not only for a health issue but a perceived health issue.
