SNAKE 65.5: Should Our Library Put Groomer Material in Front of Our Children?

Aug 22, 2025    Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

Is this library crossing the line? 😡 In this episode, we tackle the hot-button issue of whether public libraries are intentionally placing harmful and explicit material in front of children. We discuss concerns raised by members of Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, about the content of certain books and their impact on parenting, spirituality, and the Christian community. Are these books promoting values that align with our faith, or are they undermining biblical principles?


We react to the community's response, address misconceptions about civil disobedience, and share how Christians should stand firm against what they view as grooming tactics. Join us as we shine a spotlight on this local controversy and explore what it means to protect children in today’s cultural climate.
