SNAKE 14: What Does It Mean to be Feminine?

Snake on the Table

October 10, 2024 • Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

In this episode of Snake on the Table, Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Dorris tackle the controversial topic of feminism through the lens of Christian values. We dive deep into gender roles, exploring what it truly means to be feminine according to biblical principles. We discuss how society's changing definitions impact spirituality and parenting, and we react to cultural misconceptions about femininity and masculinity. Are women merely baby makers, or is there a deeper role assigned by God? As elders of Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we lend our insights into how biblical masculinity and femininity shape our community. We invite you to join the conversation, share your thoughts, and send us questions or topics at snakeonthetable@gmail.com. Don't forget, our podcast is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, so you can engage with us in multiple formats. Let's explore these pivotal issues together!
