Why must pastors choose boldness over popularity in today's culture? In this episode of Snake on the Table, Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Dorris from Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, tackle the challenges pastors face in balancing courage, truth, and cultural pressures. We discuss the dangers of compromising biblical principles, the importance of standing for righteousness in the public square, and how pastors can resist the temptation to prioritize approval over truth.

We react to the growing "winsome to woke" mindset among church leaders and explore the concept of biblical masculinity, as highlighted in books like "Masculine Christianity" by Zachary Garris. Are pastors too often steered by fear or by the most sensitive voices in their congregations? What does it truly mean to shepherd boldly while fostering unity among churches?

Join us as we share personal experiences, address the realities of pastoral struggles, and call for a renewed commitment to biblical truth and community impact. Have a question or topic for us?
