I would describe him as Donald Trump with a better sense of humor and perhaps a tad bit more compassionate.

Quite a challenge...

He was a man of talent, especially in words and motivating others.  He built the largest Sunday School in the world in the 1970s. However, he became involved (at least emotionally) with another woman, and his work became all about him as time went by.  He wouldn't listen to his friends remonstrances, and demand complete loyalty from those around him. He had a cult-like following around him that would cheer and applaud at anything he said.
