FAKE SHEPHERD: The Truth About Doug Weiss We All Ignored

Doug Weiss was one of Christian television's most trusted voices on marriage, sex addiction, and healing. He appeared on Daystar TV as an expert. He co-hosted Ministry Now. He married Joni Lamb. And the entire time, his record — sitting in public documents for over twenty years — told a completely different story about Doug Weiss that nobody at Daystar ever told you. This is the truth about Doug Weiss that we all ignored. FAKE SHEPHERD: The Truth About Doug Weiss We All Ignored Doug Weiss founded Heart to Heart Counseling Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He coined the term intimacy anorexia. He authored over forty books on sex addiction, betrayal trauma, and Christian marriage. He appeared on Dr. Phil, Oprah, Good Morning America, and Fox News. He built one of the most recognized brands in Christian counseling. And in December 2024, The Roys Report published an investigation in which seven former female clients of Heart to Heart Counseling Center said Doug Weiss's counseling left them more traumatized than when they arrived.

Doug Weiss was the face Daystar put in front of vulnerable couples in crisis. Doug Weiss was still on screen in April 2026, telling Daystar viewers that Joni Lamb had a back injury and would recover — two weeks before she died. The truth about Doug Weiss was in public records the entire time. Two state disciplinary actions. A degree from a government-shut-down institution. Seven traumatized clients. A divorce filed 65 days after Joni Lamb became a widow. We ignored it. Daystar TV ignored it. The women who drove thirty hours to Heart to Heart Counseling Center and left worse than they started paid the price.
