Elevation Church Pastor Steven Furtick recently spoke out to negate rumours about leaving his Charlotte, North Carolina, megachurch to join Pastor Joel Osteen at Lakewood Church.
Furtick released a video through his Instagram page to speak about the fake story published. The Pastor explained that people need to “consider the source.”
Of course none of that is true. I’m not leaving Elevation Church.
The thing was meant to be a joke. Whether it’s funny or right for them to post that, that’s up to you to decide.”
Furtick added that he found it “crazy” that so many people “believed it and then even spread it around that I was leaving my church.”
“And it just reminded me that we got to be careful. We live in the age of information, but we’re starving for truth.”
