Alright y’all let’s talk about the one and only John Hagee. If you’ve ever been channelsurfing and landed on his sermons you know hes a San Antonio legendpastor of Cornerstone Church big shot with Christians United for Israel and a voice that could probably make the Alamo shake. But hold up the real star in my book? His wife Diana Hagee. Folks around here are always like Whos that lady stealing the show next to Pastor John? So picture us on a front porch with some iced tea and kolaches because I’m about to spill the tea on Dianaher heart her hustle and why she’s the glue in this ministry.

1: Who is John Hagees Wife?

Diana Hagee born Diana M. Castro on March 5, 1952 is San Antonio through and through. Shes got that South Texas Hispanic vibebet her familys got stories thatd fill a book. She went to Trinity University got herself a science degree and was just chilling in the pews at Johns Trinity Church back in the day when well sparks flew.

I swear it’s like a movie: Dianas there soaking up the sermons and Johns up front preaching fire. Next thing you know they’re saying vows. Now pushing 50 years together theyre like that couple you see holding hands at HEB still crazy about each other. Faith love and a whole lotta gritthats their deal.

And let’s not forget Embraced Women’s Ministries she’s running that with her daughterinlaw Kendal Hagee giving women a place to laugh cry and find Jesus.

When Diana talks its like your best friend hyping you up. Her books? Oh theyre gold. The King’s Daughter Becoming a Woman of God won a Retailers Choice Award and I’m not surprised.

6: LesserKnown Facts About Diana Hagee

Here’s a little nugget: Diana’s a kitchen queen. Her cookbook Not by Bread Alone is full of recipes and stories that make you want to pull up a chair. She calls her kitchen the soul of the house and I bet it’s where all the good family gossip happens.

One story she told sticks with me. A guy called their prayer line ready to call it quits but a volunteer’s words and John’s sermon in the background turned it around. Diana got all choked up sharing that and it just shows her big heart. When she’s not working she’s probably baking cookies with her grandkids or piling everyone into an RV for a Hagee Family Singers road trip. Music faith and a little chaosthats her happy place.
