Interesting Facts, Height and Trivia :
- As a mother of five and a grandmother to thirteen, Diana Hagee is passionate about empowering her family and the upcoming generations to invite Christ into every aspect of their lives. In July 2019, she featured on the Hagee Ministries YouTube channel in a video titled ‘Mothers Day with Diana Hagee’. She talked about family values in the Christian faith in detail. Coming from Hispanic roots, the concept of stable ‘familia’ is essential to Diana. She believes that family is a gift of God, as God himself came into the world via the family unit. She also added that she feels aggrieved when she witnesses people view the family as a burden nowadays. Diana advises new mothers to enjoy every moment with their children and view them as a blessing.
- One of Diana’s strong beliefs is that children should never feel them being a burden or inconvenience to their parents. At the same time, she thinks it is the parent’s God-given responsibility to guide their children in morality and raise them with strong values. According to Diana, children’s privacy should not take priority over guiding them to stay away from things that might prove to be detrimental to their morality in the long term.
- The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston awarded Diana with the Lion of Judah award for her valuable contributions within Israel and the Jewish community in America. In 2021, The Algemeiner Journal named Diana among the top 100 individuals positively influencing Jewish life, alongside her CUFI co-executive director Shari Dollinger.
- Diana advised her followers in October 2020 to view the Holy Bible as a loyal companion in one of her Instagram posts. She has scribbled notes in her Bible for the last 40 years, and she also advises followers to do the same to garner better reflections on their relationship with the Lord. Diana finds these notes quite useful in tracking the sacred journey, remembering the teachings, and propagating them further to others.
I have to say the first time I walked into Cornerstone church in 1992 I was knocked over by the holy spirit. Unfortunately, I was transferred back to Florida in 1995. I catered a couple of business meetings for the church and I have never in my life met a couple as warm and caring as Dr John and Diana Hagee…I still follow the church on YouTube. I am so happy to see what God has done for Cornerstone and the Hagees. May God bless you both and the whole Cornerstone family.
