Joseph, spot on! As an old guy who has tried to keep feet in both the local church and scholarly worlds I often been doubly disappointed . You are correct the dynamic of the local church and its messiness is where theological reflection must be rooted. I am increasingly unimpressed with scholarship which is more beholden to academic guilds that folks in the pew. That goes for Pentecostal scholars as well. Keep sounded the trumpet , I’m amending you from The PNW

So good. I really enjoyed this. In my current cultural context......help needed.......good teaching with solid content is hard to find.

It's hard to find just about anywhere. But God knows, and he'll take care of us. God bless you, friend.
