On 29 August 2017, readers sent in e-mails asking whether it was true Joel Osteen sailed through a flooded Houston distributing copies of his book Your Best Life Now: Osteen's name had already worked through social media during and after Hurricane Harvey because of stories that Lakewood Church was not made available to people affected by the historic storm. The yacht claim originated with the Babylon Bee: Osteen and the Christian culture of which he is a part is a frequent target of Babylon Bee, but a disclaimer at the bottom of the page reads: As is so often the case, the claim about Osteen's yacht voyage through a devastated Houston was copied to other sites, where it was not clearly marked as satire.
