SNAKE 53: Should Men Call Each Other Names? Like: Gay, Pansy, Sissy, Nancy

In this episode of "Snake on the Table," we tackle whether Christians should use phrases that mean "man up" to challenge one another. Is it biblical to rib your brothers in Christ, or does it cross the line into sin? We dive into the balance between good-natured teasing, biblical masculinity, and the feminization of culture and the church. Can true Christian friendship include tough love and honest rebukes, or should kindness always rule the day?

Join Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright, pastors at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, as we discuss the role of gender roles, spiritual accountability, and how men can build real, meaningful friendships rooted in faith and strength. We react to cultural trends, reflect on personal experiences, and share what Scripture reveals about authentic Christian masculinity.
