Chris, I can 'identify' with your friend....I am a  Sovereignist - and attend 
a Pentecostal Church of God (national headquarters are  in Joplin, Mo).
His position and responsibilities are different  than mine - as pastor, he 
must care for the flock.
As a teacher, and church secretary, I carry  responsibility, but not the 
"load" - and don't have the family responsibilities  as strongly as the 
husband/father.  I have been extended much grace both by  God and the church - no 
restrictions on how I teach the young people other than  "stick with the Bible, and 
we'll be fine".
If he wishes a "sounding board", tell him to contact  me.   I can be a pretty 
good listener, and sometimes have ideas for  input.   My husband thinks I can 
be a good 'helper'.   smile
Charlene
