Marcus Lamb (October 7, 1957 – November 30, 2021) was an American televangelist, prosperity theologian, minister, and Christian broadcaster. He was the co-founder, president, and CEO of the Daystar Television Network, the second-largest Christian television network in the world. The estimated value of the network is $230 million.[1]

Marcus was born October 7, 1957, in Cordele, Georgia, and raised in Macon, Georgia. He grew up attending the East Macon Church of God.[citation needed] He became a Christian at the age of five and continued in church attendance and work as he grew older. He began to preach as an evangelist at age fifteen. He graduated from high school and enrolled at age sixteen in Lee University (then known as Lee College), Cleveland, Tennessee-based Christian university. He graduated three years later.[2] In 1982, four years after graduation, he married Joni Trammell of Greenville, South Carolina. The couple spent their early years of marriage as traveling evangelists, visiting churches in the Southeast to teach the gospel.[3] Marcus was ordained as a bishop with the Church of God of Cleveland, Tennessee.[citation needed]

In 1980, the same year that Marcus met his wife Joni, he founded The Word of God Fellowship, the company that would eventually start the Daystar Television Network. In 1984 Lamb moved to Montgomery, Alabama to begin WMCF-TV. This was the first full-power Christian station in the state. The Lambs sold the station to Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) in 1990 and moved to Dallas, Texas. Lamb launched the Daystar network at the end of 1997.[3]

In November 2010, Lamb admitted on the Daystar Network that he had an extramarital affair that had ended several years before.[4][5] In his admission, Lamb took "100 percent responsibility" for his actions. He and his wife were able to fully reconcile with the help of marriage counselors. Due to the advice of their marriage counselors, the decision was made to keep this matter private as long as they could, in order to heal adequately.[1] The Lambs decided to publicly disclose the infidelity shortly after they claimed that three women asked for US $7.5 million in exchange for silence on the matter. The Lambs shared their story publicly on television and refused to pay anything. No criminal charges were filed,[6] although civil suits and counter-suits between Daystar and the three former employees were filed over the matter.[7][8] By December 2011, all three employee claims had either been dropped or dismissed. Daystar subsequently dismissed its countersuits against each of the women.[9]
Lamb and his wife lived in Dallas. They have three children.[10] Marcus Lamb died from COVID-19 complications on November 30, 2021, at the age of 64 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas.[11][12]

In 2020, Lamb's Daystar TV paid back a United States government PPP Loan after the television show Inside Edition investigated the church’s private jet purchase.[13] Lamb’s Daystar TV applied for the government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help pay employees’ salaries.[14] They received $3.9 million. Soon after receiving the funds, the church purchased a 1997 Gulfstream aircraft.[15][16]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lamb and Daystar preached an anti-vaccine message, hosting many anti-vaccine notables such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and posting on the Daystar website that vaccines are the "most dangerous thing" for children. Before Lamb died of COVID-19, his son called his father's coronavirus infection "a spiritual attack from the enemy."[17][18]

Yes, but being tracked on Find-a-Grave (a genealogy website) isn't so great.

As for lockdowns, we in the US never had a true lockdown like some European countries or China had. The most we had were non-essential business closures, event cancellations, school closures, and stay-home advisories. In my city Philly you were still free to go out even if there wasn't much of anything to do.

I am one of the smaller number of Americans who is still WFH for the last 21 months straight so in my case it feels different than March 2020 when a shutdown back then meant no longer commuting, etc. My workplace chose the wrong time to insist on a return to office scheduled for mid-January and we were required to e-mail the boss on the 1st of Dec as to whether we will return or resign. I told my boss the concerns and would be happy to continue to work as long as remote work is still available, & he agreed with me but the higher-ups want everyone back in mid-January. He claims that should anything change between now & then (complicating things is this is a college and so we're on break for about 4 weeks now) I would be welcome to return remotely, though it's kind of out of his hands as I already stated in the spring semester availability sheet I won't be back on campus - I was forced to make some kind of yes or no commitment on the 1st as a deadline. So my plan? Look for work elsewhere online that does fully remote work. I wonder if WFH is all that wise a hill to 'die on', work-wise, anyway. Are there all that many people leaving jobs they previously enjoyed just to avoid a commute & office politics/gossip (I am fully vaccinated, BMI 24, & in my mid-30s, so unless Omicron changes the game that much COVID may be less of the real reason for turning down returning)?

As a member of the leisure set (retired since 2016) it's a bit disengenuous for me to comment, but I will anyway.  WFH in the midst of a huge pandemic upswing is, or should be, the defauolt option when possible.  Look at the people who can't, and you see massive burnout: equally true for grocery store workers, cops and trauma doctors.  So being driven back to the office or in-person schooling seems worse than counter intuitive; it borders on criminal.  Best of luck flying outside the radar.  Better: your leaders might rethink this work mandate in the face of rising numbers.

So far it's looking like one has to be boosted to have the best chances of having protection against Omicron given immunity wears off several months after the initial series. Anyone going back to college/work in January who got their 1st series during mid-summer is at higher risk as they won't be eligible for the booster until after the semester is underway. I got mine in June & am getting my booster next week.
