  • Updated Weekly

The Patriarchy Podcast is a call to men-embrace your God-given masculinity for the glory of Christ and the good of His Kingdom We equip men to own their God-given masculinity and take responsibility in every sphere—fatherhood, citizenship, marriage, church leadership, and beyond. Through bold discussions, practical wisdom, and deep theology, we challenge men to reject the lies of feminism and effeminacy and stand firm as faithful men. Unapologetically patriarchal. We wield humor like a battle-axe, drop hard truth like a hammer, and give real-world wisdom you can actually use. We train men to be warriors, builders, and protectors—men who fight, lead, and refuse to quit. We speak plainly. We do not compromise. We do not back down. If that offends someone, well…good. This is a call to arms. Build. Fight. Protect. Lead. For Christ, for His Kingdom, for our posterity.

    Pride Is Over: What Happens When Christians Stop Being Afraid

    Pride Is Over What Happens When Christians Stop Being Afraid Every June, the rainbow flags come out, corporations change their logos, and the culture demands applause for what God condemns. This year, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon spent Pride Month posting biblical truth about homosexuality, gender confusion, and the destructive consequences of sexual rebellion. The response? Thousands of angry comments, accusations, objections, and enough bad theology to keep the internet busy for months. In this episode, Joseph and Zach Krugler dive headfirst into the comment section. They tackle the most common arguments against biblical teaching on homosexuality, expose revisionist attempts to rewrite Scripture, discuss the connection between sexual sin and cultural decay, and examine why support for Pride seems to be losing momentum. Along the way, they share stories from years of street preaching at Pride events, reflect on real people harmed by the lies of the sexual revolution, and explain why Christians must stop being intimidated into silence. This episode is serious, theological, occasionally hilarious, and unapologetically direct. If you've ever wondered how to answer the arguments, stand firm under pressure, and speak the truth without fear, this conversation is for you.

    Should Men Still Get Married? Feminism and Red-Pill Bitterness Are Destroying the Family

    Should Men Still Get Married? Feminism and Red-Pill Bitterness Are Destroying the Family Why are so many young men asking, "Why should I get married?" After decades of feminism attacking marriage as oppression, a growing number of men are now embracing the opposite error. The manosphere, MGTOW movement, and red-pill influencers often preach a message of fear, bitterness, and withdrawal from marriage. Different rhetoric. Same result. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler tackle one of the biggest questions facing Christian men today: Is marriage still worth it? They examine feminist attacks on marriage, critique the growing anti-marriage sentiment in the manosphere, break down surprising statistics about marriage, and show why God's design for marriage remains essential for faithful Christian men. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical experience, they make the case that marriage is not a trap to avoid but a calling to embrace. Chapters 00:00 - Why Young Men Are Questioning Marriage 02:36 - Genesis 2 and God's Design for Marriage 03:22 - Make Me a Sandwich Returns 05:02 - Feminism Ruins Everything 06:15 - The Feminist Case Against Marriage 11:16 - The MGTOW Case Against Marriage 15:38 - Are Feminists and Red-Pill Men Saying the Same Thing? 20:11 - Is Marriage Really a Bad Deal for Men? 22:30 - The Statistics Nobody Talks About 28:36 - Divorce, Risk, and Responsibility 35:18 - Four Habits That Strengthen Marriage 36:51 - Why Marriage Rates Are Collapsing 39:11 - Cohabitation vs Covenant 41:37 - The Cost of Rejecting God's Design 44:15 - Is Marriage Actually Worth It? 46:00 - What Scripture Says About Marriage 47:30 - Martin Luther on Marriage and Family 52:27 - The Westminster Standards and the Duty of Marriage 53:58 - What About the Gift of Singleness? 54:58 - Jesus, Celibacy, and Christian Manhood   The King’s Council Men need more than shallow answers and soft leadership.

    Icon Wars: Has the Church Been Bowing to Idols?

    Icon Wars: Has the Church Been Bowing to Idols? How Rome and the East Smuggle Idolatry into Worship Through Sentiment and Bad Arguments “Stop kissing idols.” When God thundered from Sinai, He did not mumble. He did not leave room for clever loopholes. He said: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… thou shalt not bow down thyself to them.” Yet for centuries, Rome and the East have tried to explain away what God made plain. In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler step into the Icon Wars. Are icons, statues, relics, and painted images harmless aids to worship… or baptized idolatry dressed up in tradition? The guys break down the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic arguments for icon veneration, including appeals to the incarnation, church history, temple imagery, and “honor passing through the image.” They examine why modern Protestants, exhausted by shallow evangelicalism, are being lured toward ancient aesthetics and mystical sentimentality. They also ask the practical questions many Christians wrestle with: Is every image of Jesus sinful? What about children’s Bibles and movies like The Chosen or The Passion of the Christ? What do we do with relics like the Shroud of Turin? Does church history actually support icon veneration? Can Christians distinguish between honor and worship? This is not a debate about art alone. It is a battle over worship, authority, and whether God gets to decide how He is approached. Faithful men do not improve God’s worship. They obey it.

    He Swam Through Sharks, Cold, and Addiction | Steve “Moby” Leitch Ultra-marathon swimmer Steve “Moby” Leitch joins Pastor Joseph Spurgeon for a powerful conversation about endurance, discipline, addiction recovery, and the grace of Christ. Steve has crossed some of the most dangerous channels in the world, including the English Channel, the North Channel, Cook Strait, and the Strait of Gibraltar. But the greatest battle he ever fought was not against cold water, exhaustion, or sharks. It was the battle against addiction, purposelessness, and sin. In this episode, Steve shares how Christ rescued him from destruction, rebuilt his life, restored his purpose, and led him into a ministry helping men escape addiction and rebuild their lives. This conversation dives deep into suffering, discipline, masculine endurance, morning habits, family leadership, and what it means to keep going when everything in you wants to quit.

    Why Your Kids Don’t Know the Faith (And the Tool That Fixes It)

    Most Christian fathers are failing at the most basic assignment God gave them: training their children in the faith. Your kids don’t know the Ten Commandments. They can’t explain the gospel. They don’t think like Christians. And the problem isn’t the culture. It’s the lack of intentional discipleship in the home. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krueger break down one of the most powerful and forgotten tools in church history: catechism. From , they walk through why Martin Luther wrote the Small Catechism, how it shaped generations of Christians, and how fathers today can use simple, structured teaching to build strong, grounded children. This is not theory. This is a battle plan for raising faithful sons and daughters in a hostile world.   Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – The Problem in Your Home Why your children don’t know the faith and why that responsibility falls on you 01:33 – Biblical Mandate for Fathers Deuteronomy 6 and the call to train your children diligently 03:04 – Why Luther Wrote the Catechism The collapse of basic Christian knowledge in the church 05:27 – What Christians Are Failing to Teach Today The Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, and Lord’s Prayer 06:14 – What Catechism Actually Is The early church model of training believers 08:50 – How the Church Lost This Practice From structured discipleship to empty ritual 10:34 – The Reformation Shift Returning to Scripture and the basics of the faith 16:09 – The Fruit of Catechism How it shaped Protestant churches and families 17:58 – Doctrine That Actually Forms Lives Why truth must move from the head to the heart 20:24 – Practical Application for Fathers How to actually start discipling your kids today 23:18 – Why Most Men Overcomplicate It Stop trying to impress.

    6 Types of Fathers — Which One Are You?

    Most men don’t fail at fatherhood because they don’t care. They fail because they drift, overcorrect, or lead without clarity. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krueger break down six common types of fathers—five that quietly destroy homes and one that builds them. From passivity to harshness, inconsistency to clownish leadership, this conversation exposes the patterns many men fall into without realizing it. You will likely see yourself in more than one category. That’s the point. This is a call to wake up, take responsibility, and lead your home with strength, consistency, and love. Biblical fatherhood is not complicated, but it requires discipline, clarity, and endurance over time. Your family doesn’t need a perfect man. They need a father they can follow.   Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – The Lie of Modern Fatherhood Why providing, yelling, and grilling meat isn’t leadership. 01:22 – Biblical Charge to Men 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 and the call to act like men. 03:00 – Meet Zach Krueger Background, family life, and theological journey. 07:30 – The Passive Father Avoids conflict, abdicates responsibility, creates chaos. 14:40 – The Unpredictable Father Big ideas, no follow-through, produces instability. 19:00 – The Overbearing Father Harsh authority without love leads to rebellion or weakness. 27:50 – The Silent Father Present but disengaged, fails to instruct and lead clearly. 30:30 – The Comedy Dad Seeks approval over authority, avoids discipline, lacks weight. 35:15 – The Godly Father (The Target) Leads with authority and love, consistent, purposeful, and rooted in Scripture. 42:20 – Final Charge to Men Repent, take responsibility, and lead with clarity and consistency.   Key Takeaways Passivity invites chaos. If you don’t lead, someone else will. Inconsistency destroys trust faster than failure. Harshness produces rebels or weak men, not faithful sons. Silence in leadership leaves your family directionless. Being liked by your kids is not the goal. Leading them is. Godly fatherhood requires authority shaped by love and purpose. Faithful leadership is built through small, consistent actions over time.   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Would You Have Welcomed Jesus… or Killed Him?

    Would You Have Welcomed Jesus… or Killed Him? Men Who Entertain Angels – Part 3 What you do with Jesus reveals everything about you. Most men think hospitality is about clean homes, good meals, and polite conversation. Scripture says its more. Hospitality is a dividing line. It exposes your heart. It reveals whether you belong to Christ… or stand against Him. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon walks through the life of Jesus to show the full weight of biblical hospitality. Not soft. Not sentimental. Real hospitality welcomes, provides, protects, and operates under God’s authority. And it always forces a decision. Jesus received hospitality. Jesus gave hospitality. And Jesus commands it. Some welcomed Him. Some used Him. Some tried to kill Him. That same line still stands today. So the question is simple—and unavoidable: Would you have welcomed Jesus… or killed Him?   CHAPTERS 00:00 – What You Think Hospitality Is (And Why You’re Wrong) 01:30 – The Song That Announces God’s Hospitality (Luke 1:53) 04:00 – Hospitality in the Old Testament vs. Fulfilled in Christ 08:20 – Jesus: The Perfect Picture of Hospitality 10:30 – Why Dependence Doesn’t Make You Weak 14:30 – Hospitality Divides Men (From the Beginning) 18:00 – Egypt, Exile, and the True Son Who Didn’t Fail 20:30 – Jesus the Man: Strong, Not Soft 23:00 – Receiving Hospitality Without Compromise 26:30 – Hospitality from Friends, Sinners, and Enemies 28:50 – From the Womb to the Grave: A Full Life of Hospitality 30:20 – Entertaining Christ Unaware (Road to Emmaus) 32:30 – How Jesus Gives Hospitality Without a Home 35:00 – Welcoming the Unwanted Without Affirming Sin 38:00 – Provision: Feeding, Healing, and Overdelivering 40:00 – Protection: Rebuking Evil and Guarding Truth 43:00 – Authority: Hospitality Under God’s Order 45:00 – Washing Feet: Strength That Serves 49:00 – Why Insecure Men Can’t Lead or Serve 51:00 – God’s Infinite Provision Frees You to Give 52:50 – The Table: Christ Gives Himself 55:00 – The Cross: The Greatest Act of Hospitality 58:00 – The Final Divide: Receive Him or Be Cast Out   KEY TAKEAWAYS Hospitality is not about manners. It’s about how you respond to Christ. Jesus shows perfect hospitality through welcome, provision, and protection. Weak men reject responsibility. Strong men receive and give rightly. The cross is the ultimate act of hospitality—Christ giving Himself for sinners.

    AI, the End of the World, and the Future of Christian Men

    AI, the End of the World, and the Future of Christian Men Artificial Intelligence: The New Tower of Babel or Just a Tool? What happens when machines start doing everything better than men? Jobs disappear. Creativity shifts. Even sermons can be generated in seconds. Some are calling AI the new Tower of Babel. Others say it’s just another tool like the internet or the printing press. So what should Christian men actually think? In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with software engineer Josh Dawes to cut through the hype, the fear, and the propaganda surrounding artificial intelligence. They tackle the real dangers, the false alarms, and how men can use this technology without being ruled by it. This is about dominion, responsibility, and refusing to become passive in a machine-driven world.   Chapters 00:00 – Cold Open: A world replaced by AI 02:08 – Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel connection 03:00 – Is AI Skynet… or just hype? 04:00 – Meet Josh Dawes (software engineer & Christian thinker) 05:00 – How AI is already being used (music, writing, ministry) 07:30 – Real fears vs blind optimism 10:00 – What AI actually is (demystified) 13:00 – Why AI feels like magic 17:00 – AGI, consciousness, and the “Skynet” question 23:00 – Is AI just a tool or something more powerful? 25:30 – Industrial Revolution comparison 29:00 – Dead Internet Theory explained 32:00 – Does AI make you stupid? (MIT vs Harvard studies) 37:00 – AI and the future of creativity, music, and art 48:00 – Is AI theft or plagiarism? 52:00 – Should pastors use AI for sermons? 56:00 – The danger of outsourcing spiritual responsibility 1:00:00 – Final thoughts: how Christian men should approach AI   Key Takeaways AI is not magic. It’s advanced pattern recognition, not a soul. The real danger is not machines becoming human, but men becoming passive. Used wrongly, AI will weaken you. Used rightly, it can sharpen you. Creativity is not dead, but it is changing fast. Pastors and leaders must never outsource the work God called them to do. This is a dominion issue. Men either rule tools or get ruled by them.   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership—equipping men to live boldly and biblically in an age of compromise.   Support the Mission Help us build for the next generation: https://sovereignkingacademy.com   Connect with The Patriarchy Podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePatriarchyPodcast Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/58tm5zjz Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/f3ruzrsa All Links: https://linktr.ee/thepatriarchypodcast   Sponsored By Steadfast Cigars – https://steadfastcigars.com/ Fit Father Project – https://secure.fitfatherproject.com/a/transformation/4539   Final Call to Action Subscribe, share, and join the fight for biblical masculinity.

About

The Patriarchy Podcast is a call to men-embrace your God-given masculinity for the glory of Christ and the good of His Kingdom We equip men to own their God-given masculinity and take responsibility in every sphere—fatherhood, citizenship, marriage, church leadership, and beyond. Through bold discussions, practical wisdom, and deep theology, we challenge men to reject the lies of feminism and effeminacy and stand firm as faithful men. Unapologetically patriarchal. We wield humor like a battle-axe, drop hard truth like a hammer, and give real-world wisdom you can actually use. We train men to be warriors, builders, and protectors—men who fight, lead, and refuse to quit. We speak plainly. We do not compromise. We do not back down. If that offends someone, well…good. This is a call to arms. Build. Fight. Protect. Lead. For Christ, for His Kingdom, for our posterity.
