SNAKE 55: Should Women Seek Public Office and Government Positions?

In this episode of Snake on the Table, we discuss a thought-provoking question: Should women hold public offices? Exploring this topic from a biblical perspective, we dive into the roles of men and women in leadership, government, and the church, unpacking scriptural truths and societal challenges. Are men abdicating their responsibilities? What does the Bible say about gender roles and leadership? How can we, as Christians, navigate these complex issues in today’s world?

Join hosts Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright, pastors at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, as we tackle these important questions and share practical insights on biblical masculinity, parenting, and the created order. Whether addressing the story of Deborah or discussing the call for men to step up, this episode is packed with candid, engaging conversation designed to challenge and inspire.

We also reflect on how parenting can shape the next generation of leaders, raising resilient sons and supportive daughters to fulfill God’s design. Tune in to hear our take on the intersection of faith, feminism, and societal norms, and don’t miss our thoughts on how Christians can faithfully engage in today’s political and cultural landscape.
