Snake on the Table

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.

In this episode we tackle the accusation of "sexism" often leveled at us for holding to biblical masculinity and femininity. We also explain why we're not complementarian, but rather patriarchal in our understanding of gender roles. We expose a bit of the hyper-patriarchal movement as well.

In this episode we react to an online comment calling us weak-minded men trying to portray strength to our congregation because Tanner was seen online during a baptism with his sidearm on his hip. Are pacifists more spiritual? Is it prideful to carry a gun? Do Christians who carry weapons not trust God to protect them?

**SPECIAL EPISODE** Events yesterday (James White called out Pastors Cartwright and Spurgeon) compelled us to shift from our expected recording last night to address this question.

In this episode we call of for a more generous catholicity among brothers. Everything need not be a "Gospel" issue whereby we effectively anathematize one another. We should be able to disagree over views of history and the crusades, voting as abolitionists, Christian Nationalism, and cessationism. We're specific and refer to the rhetoric of good brothers like James White, Jon Speed, Tom Hicks, and more.
