SNAKE 47: Do Christians have “Servant Leadership” right?

Feb 11, 2025    Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

What does true biblical servant leadership look like? In this episode, we tackle the misconceptions surrounding servant leadership in Christianity and discuss how leaders can serve while maintaining authority. Drawing insights from Mark 10:42-45, Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright explore the balance between humility and strong, Christ-centered leadership. Is modern servant leadership too passive, or have we lost the essence of what Jesus modeled?


We reflect on biblical masculinity, gender roles, and the importance of setting a vision in the home, church, and beyond. How can husbands, pastors, and leaders serve best without forfeiting their God-given responsibility to lead? With real-life examples and scripture, we challenge the cultural shift away from biblical principles.
