Remember also that the collection of people who respond will have different opinions from each other too. You are getting a range of advice that you can have your own opinion about.
Proverbs 11:14
Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
It is good to listen to a range of people, so you an sense when someone is going off course. Picture a few friends sitting on a giant inner tube. If one leaves or does something erratic, the tube tips over. If you listen to fifteen minutes about faith, then fifteen minutes about repentance, then fifteen minutes about Jesus' redemption, then is there much harm done? Each cluster of information keeps the other in check.
Joyce Meyer teaches humility through laughing about her own foibles and self-based motivations. She allows herself to be vulnerably exposed so others can find life. While she gets categorized with WOF preachers, her message is extremely different, and more in line with the 1970's Shepherding Movement. Almost every sermon is about self-scrutiny, humility, repentance and renewal. Allowing the Holy Spirit to convict.
This offers a balance from those who do not teach character development; but if listened to exclusively, it would be imbalanced. The New Testament teaches that we all contribute something different to the health of the body, and without each part, the body suffers.
I Cor 12:17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
The Greco-Roman philosophers were not far from that era. The Christians were familiar with teachers who roamed the city forums and presented their ideas. People debated, discussed, learned... not from being told what to believe, but from a process of growing convinced, while airing their own opinions. Iron sharpening iron.
Of course if a teacher struck you as way off base or unethical, then it would make sense to avoid them. You have done some research into character, and found complaints; but remember there are people who live to tear others down. Search for truth, God's love, His Presence, solutions, information, holiness and things that honor God's name. As said above, listening to scriptures can help you get to the purest form of God's Word. It also acts like a plumb line to see if other things are off balance.
(BTW Paul and Apollo deferred to Priscilla and Aquila as teachers and leaders, so New Testament/early church authorities were not completely opposed to women leading and teaching in the church. Acts 18:26)
