In this episode of "Snake on the Table," we dive deep into the ugly truth about conversion therapy bans. Join Tanner, Jerry, and our guest Michael Thiessen as we sit in the Kentucky State Capitol's Rotunda to discuss the cultural and spiritual implications of these bans. We tackle how the secular approach to conversion therapy differs from Christian counseling and explore the biblical perspective on identity and sexuality. Are you curious about how these therapy bans affect religious freedom and the broader cultural landscape?

We react to Governor Andy Beshear's recent executive order and discuss its impact on Christian communities. As pastors affiliated with Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we stand firm in proclaiming God’s truth amidst cultural challenges. Our conversation covers essential topics like Christianity, biblical masculinity, gender roles, and parenting.

We invite you to join the discussion by sending your questions or topics to [email protected]. Don't forget to catch our podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for more engaging talks on faith and culture.
