During Sunday’s services, the co-pastors of Lakewood Church, Joel and Victoria Osteen, said that their unshakable faith helped them cope with the legal problems they had been going through in the past two years, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Victoria Osteen was sued by a Continental Airlines flight attendant, Sharon Brown, for supposedly assaulting her before the takeoff of a December 2005 flight from Houston Intercontinental Airport to Vail, Colorado. After the verdict was read, Victoria Osteen told reporters that she did not lose the faith that the truth would eventually come to light. “No matter what happened, I knew the truth was in me, and that was the most important thing,” she said.

A Texas jury found the wife of the megachurch pastor not guilty and some jurors even said that the incident was insignificant and should not have been taken to court. The jury came to a unanimous verdict after five days of trial and almost three hours of deliberation.

“When I came here that first Sunday after that happened, I was embarrassed. I was ashamed,” Victoria Osteen said in the middle of a service in which the incident was mentioned constantly, according to the Houston Chronicle. “I’ll probably never speak of this again, but if it can help anyone, then that’s worth it. If I had to go through this, I just want it to increase your faith. If I just share my heart with you, and I hope you can hear my heart,” she added, as reported by the same source.

Sharon Brown accused the pastor’s wife of throwing her against a bathroom door and elbowing her in the breast after failing to clean up a spill on Osteen’s first-class seat. Furthermore, Joel Osteen thanked the worshipers who prayed for them, saying, “We felt your love, your prayers, your support,” as quoted by the Houston Chronicle.

The plaintiff had sought at least $405,000 for physical and mental damages as a consequence of the alleged attack.

Victoria Osteen paid a $3000 fine to the Federal Aviation Administration, although she said it was baseless. However, she and her husband said they paid the fine so that they would leave the issue behind.
