I’ve never been impressed with mega-church “preachers” anyway. They tend to get heavily wrapped into a celebrity mentality. Give me a local fire-in-the-heart community church pastor anytime.

Our local pastor never visits people in the parish without his wife. He always had others present when someone came to visit.
I read that Billy Graham always had an assistant check over his room or office before he went in as there were some people out to try and get him in some type of scandal.

Agree 100%.
But I think that so-called mega churches do serve a unique purpose that the local pastors/priests cannot easily do. For example, people flipping the TV channels in a hotel room may see/hear a life changing sermon, or maybe visiting someone for a time and a person will hear something meaningful to their life in a remote TV room.
God turns people’s lives around for His Glory at different times in different ways for special purposes.
Charles Spurgeon was the pastor of a mega-church.
Few, if anyone, have ever questioned his character
