I would say that real truth does not depend on the person telling it. If you believe in the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel, then it does not matter how the person who told you about the Gospel acts. The Bible has authority over any pastor or teacher.
I just recently moved away for college and have had to find a new church. Typically, I have found that the churches that are the most "true" in a sense are the churches that stay focused on the actual words of the Bible instead of personal anecdotes and such. However, a bad preacher can still show "truth" from the Bible even if everything else he says or does is wrong.
For example, the church that I grew up in and where I first became a Christian turned out to be led by a ... sinful preacher. He purposely did a lot of things that went directly against what he taught on Sundays; however, the things that I learned on those Sundays were not necessarily wrong. I am now much more careful about churches and now know that truth is completely independent from any man even if it is a man who introduces a concept to you. I would never believe anything as "true" unless I could find proof, for myself, of it in the Bible. The best way for you to know the truth is to read the Bible by yourself, so that you will be able to know whether or not something you have heard is really something taught in the Bible.
I don't know if that answers your question because your question was a little vague, but I hope it helped even a little bit.
