SNAKE 50: Are Christians Allowed to Speak Like Jesus? w/Jon Harris

Mar 4, 2025 • Tanner Cartwright, Jon Harris, Jerry Dorris

Can Christians speak like Jesus did? In this episode, we explore that question by examining the bold, loving, and often confrontational way Jesus spoke.

Join Reformation Church pastors Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright, along with special guest Jon Harris, as we discuss how Christians today can follow Christ’s example in speech and action. This conversation is built on Jon’s new book, Against the Waves—a deep dive into biblical communication, standing firm in truth, and challenging cultural compromise.

From biblical masculinity to parenting with wisdom, we cover the principles of effective communication, the necessity of godly confrontation, and the misconceptions about love in today’s culture. Whether it’s engaging with opponents, leading your family, or fostering spiritual growth, this discussion will challenge and encourage you.
