Yes, it's true. For only ten dollars, you can spend an evening with Joel Olsteen right here in Columbus, Ohio on May 12th. What a deal.
Of course for just the price of a 16oz Guiness, the Funky Presbyterian will let you hang out with him at Hound Dog's and listen to him crack jokes about televangelists. For free you can come to his church on Sunday evenings at 6pm, 237 West Second Avenue in the Short North. But there's no Guiness at the church. So... it's your call.

Man, if I was anywhere near you I'd grab my brother and we'd go hear - no, not Joel - but the Funky Presbyterian cracking televangelist jokes (and, yes, we'd drink Guinness, too).
Funky,
The envy in your post is unbecoming of a one that is funky. I doubt you have 43,000 people clamoring to see you, and when was the last time you had 15,000 people make a decision for Jesus? I reckon you have not, and it is the envy is now evident for all to see. The $10 is a minimal charge for an evening of inspiration and worship. After all, it is for your convenience that that they have invoked the $10 ticket charge. They do not want you waiting in line and they want you to bring your unbelieving friends that would not wait in line. Now, why they do not make the tickets free of charge via the web, I do not know, but it is a small charge for an evening of inspiration, and, to top it off, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
If you would get rid of your negative thoughts, i.e. critiques of televangelists, then you might have something positive to offer people and 15,000 people will make a decision for Jesus.
I think Guinness is all about the funk. And $10 for Jesus is cheap!

You really can't buy enough Guinness for $10.
But you CAN get all the Joel Olsteen you can handle.
maybe you should follow Joel's lead. I think Funky Presbyterian Ministries would be very appealing. Don't they have any marketing classes at seminary? You have to get your name out there if you want to catch up with those guys like Rod Parsley!
Actually, I am more than a little turned off by the "An Enchanting Evening With Me (with alter call to follow) " approach but I guess you could accuse Billy Graham of doing roughly the same thing. Although I don't think Billy Graham has ever hinted that if you come to see him, God will make you wealthy.
