I had the opportunity to meet Steven Furtick a few months ago in between services at Elevation Church in Charlotte (on their 1 Year Anniversary, where there were 1,500 people present).  He is the real deal, has a great family and solid staff around him, and God is BLOWING THE DOORS OFF of that church.  On Easter Sunday, they launched a 3rd service AND a 2nd location simultaneously.

Seeing the way God is moving there gets me even more stoked about what God is beginning to do in Pittsburgh.  One of the reasons I love Steven is that he’s REAL.  He put up a great (and TRUE) post today:
