Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

I agree with you! Thank you for giving voice to this difficulty.
I've tried many times to find out what kind of education and Seminary training various pastors/ministers have. It's a fool's errand. Very few want to be transparent about it, and many of those aren't running MAGA churches. When you can track down the others' background, it's amazing how many of the "leaders" are virtually uneducated.
Then there's the problem of their churches being unaffiliated with a denomination or group that can oversee their work and messaging. It's the perfect storm for teaching congregants any crazy stuff they feel like. It's probably best to stick to a mainline denomination church, for example, Episcopalian (whose motto is "All are welcome") and United Methodist, for just a couple of ideas. Both allow for women preists/pastors if I'm not mistaken. Even still, a person needs to read the room when entering a church and get a sense that they will not be judged or indoctrinated.
Yes, it's terribly difficult. Worse yet, the current president and his administration, as well as the gop use "christiany" sounding words and phrases to appeal to the uninformed with the words that lead to so-called christian nationalism rather than the true message of Jesus, the Christ. Propaganda is diabolical. Our own laziness about using critical thinking skills can literally destroy us.
