"Lakewood Church: Healing Services, Gun Laws, and Living Without Fear"

TL;DR
Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church held its first services since a woman opened fire inside the Houston megachurch, marking a 'time of healing and restoration' for the community. The shooting left a 7-year-old boy critically wounded and the shooter dead. The church's pastor, Osteen, emphasized the need for faith over fear and thanked God for protection. The shooter, Genesse Moreno, had a history of mental illness and a criminal record. The boy's paternal grandmother, a Rabbi, criticized the state for allowing the shooter to purchase deadly weapons despite reports of medical abuse.
