5:32Now PlayingSteven Furtick is the pastor of a megachurch in North Carolina who believes in the prosperity gospel. Seemingly going against the traditional teachings of Jesus, Furtick believes that God wants him to be rich, and doesn’t feel like he should have to expose how much money he has to his congregation. Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you think Steven Furtick is a hypocrite? Let us know in the comments below.

“Megachurch Pastor Steven Furtick is used to questions about his gigantic mansion and other trappings of his apparent wealth — but he doesn’t usually face them directly from reporters.
The pastor of North Carolina’s Elevation Church sat down for a rare interview that aired Tuesday on WCCB-TV, where he discussed various controversies related to his promotion of the “prosperity gospel.”
The 35-year-old Furtick has faced intense local scrutiny after building a 16,000-square-foot home on 19 acres valued at $1.6 million — which church officials said the pastor bought for $325,000.
He previously defended the home, which he said was “not that great of a house,” as a “gift from God” — and he cited Christ’s teachings in resisting media calls for more information about church finances.”
