Ted Haggard, the one-time national evangelical leader exiled by his Colorado church after paying a male prostitute for sex and drugs, will be the featured guest next Sunday – along with his wife Gayle – at Charlotte's Elevation Church.

Elevation, which packs thousands of young evangelicals into high school auditoriums and uptown's Spirit Square every Sunday, broke the news about Haggard on Sunday with words from Pastor Steven Furtick.

“We're not glamorizing or glorifying anyone's sin or deception nor are we promoting an agenda,” Furtick told his flock at Spirit Square's McGlohon Theatre. “We're allowing the story of Jesus to be told through a man who lost it all and his wife who stood by him.”

1. Furtick knows a thing or two about PR

As is said in the car bidness, "there's a seat for every as*" and Furtick knows a good way to fill'em up and pass the plate!
