Bridging the Gap: From Early Church Fathers to Modern Pentecostal Thought with Dr. Dale Coulter

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Dale Coulter from the Pentecostal Theological Seminary. We discuss the importance of the church fathers and explore the historical context and the evolution of prophecy and mysticism. We also examine how these elements have influenced modern Pentecostalism. Key themes include the connection between ecstasy and prophecy, and we explore the roles of early Christian and medieval mystics. Throughout our conversation, we delve into the rich theological heritage that informs contemporary Pentecostal practices.
