In this episode of Snake on the Table, we address a tension many Christians face but few are willing to speak about honestly: How do you navigate family commitments when participation would compromise your faith?
We discuss real-world scenarios such as being invited to a Catholic baptism, a same-sex wedding, or other religious or moral ceremonies that place believers in an awkward and spiritually compromising position. Drawing from Scripture, we examine the limits of family loyalty, the nature of Christian witness, and the difference between loving people and endorsing false worship or sin.
As elders of Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we offer pastoral clarity and practical wisdom for navigating these situations with conviction, humility, and courage. This episode explores obedience to Christ, the cost of discipleship, and how to remain faithful when cultural expectations and family pressure collide with biblical truth.
How should Christians respond in these moments? Where is the line between honoring family and honoring Christ? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and send us questions or topics for future episodes. Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for more conversations like this.
