SNAKE 66.5: Is Your Church Sending Members into the Library to Take Books?

Aug 27, 2025    Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

In this episode, we tackle the controversial topic of "Grooming in Our Libraries" and share Reformation Church's bold response to materials found in a local library in Shelbyville, Kentucky. As elders of the church, we discuss how this issue was brought to our attention, the concerns these books raise about biblical values, parenting, and the moral fabric of our community, and why we believe this is a breach of trust.


We explore the deeper implications of how such content affects children, challenges longstanding Christian teachings, and pushes an agenda that conflicts with our faith. How should a community respond? What does this mean for parents, educators, and believers? We dive into these questions and share our perspective on standing firm in the face of cultural shifts.


Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and let us know how your community is addressing similar concerns. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on future discussions about faith, family, and culture. Together, let's protect the values that matter most.
