SNAKE 18: What are some strategies for dealing with the police while doing street evangelism?

In this episode of "Snake on the Table" we dive deep into strategies for engaging with law enforcement while spreading the gospel in public spaces. Join us, Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright, Elders at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, as we discuss our real-life experiences with police during street evangelism. We tackle the challenges and share insights on treating officers with respect, understanding your rights, and how maintaining a cooperative demeanor can lead to positive outcomes. Have you ever wondered how to handle being asked to move while preaching? Or the importance of designating a spokesperson for your group? We cover it all and more. We invite you to send your questions and topics to snakeonthetable@gmail.com and explore our discussions further on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Let's engage in a thoughtful conversation about Christianity, biblical masculinity, and spirituality, and learn how to navigate these encounters with wisdom and grace.
