“The Trials of Ted Haggard” (8 p.m., HBO): Not long ago, Ted Haggard had a ministry that reached 30 million followers. As founder and pastor of Colorado’s New Life Church and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, he called the shots for what was right and wrong in the lives of a significant percentage of the nation — and of the electorate (he had the ear of President George W. Bush). Then things went wrong for Pastor Ted with his just-say-no-to-sin gospel, when, in 2006, he admitted to “sexual immorality” and buying methamphetamines from a male prostitute. Disgraced and out of a job, he was sent into exile with his wife and five kids. “He needs to disappear,” declared an elder of what had been Haggard’s church. Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi captures what happened after that in her documentary, “The Trials of Ted Haggard.” Looking for work, living with his family in motels with their U-Haul truck in the parking lot, Haggard says, “I’m worthless at this point.” The film follows him through a months-long journey through the wilderness of his soul.
