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.

    Stop Wasting Your Life: Fight the Battle in Front of You

    Many men are angry. Angry about politics. Angry about feminism. Angry about the corruption in the church. Angry about the state of the nation. But anger without direction becomes distraction. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Army Chaplain BJ Newman to talk about focus, priorities, and building where you actually have influence. This is a re-release of a previous episode. The video may show Joseph about forty pounds heavier, but the truth here has only grown sharper with time. Men are losing because they are fighting the wrong battles. Instead of endless online debates and outrage cycles, we must return to first principles: Family first. Local focus. Build institutions, not platforms. Fight the battles in front of you. If you want to stop drifting and start building, this conversation will help you re-center your mission.   Chapter Breaks: 00:00 – Why Men Are So Distracted Right Now 03:15 – Grief, Bitterness, and Cultural Collapse 08:40 – The Danger of Endless Online Arguments 14:10 – Family First: The Primary Battlefield 22:30 – Local Focus and Real Influence 31:00 – Institutions Over Popularity 43:20 – Fighting Today’s Battles 54:10 – Building Something That Outlasts You   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Don’t Fall for It" Why Christians Keep Getting Played

    Don’t Fall for It Why Christians Keep Getting Played Christians are supposed to be people of truth. Instead, too many are people of reaction. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Pastor Michael Clary to expose a growing problem inside the Church: emotional manipulation masquerading as compassion. All it takes is a viral headline, a crying mother, or a carefully framed news story, and discernment goes out the window. Feelings replace facts. Sentiment replaces Scripture. And gullibility gets baptized as “love.” But biblical love is not blind. It is not naive. And it is not manipulated. Drawing from Romans 12 and Philippians 1, this conversation cuts straight to the heart of weaponized empathy, propaganda, weak pulpits, cowardly leadership, and the cultural chaos that results when Christians stop testing the spirits. If you care about leading your family well, thinking clearly in a propaganda age, and refusing to be played by emotional narratives, this one is for you.   Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – If You Want to Control Christians, Just Tell a Sad Story 01:10 – Romans 12: Renewing the Mind in an Age of Manipulation 02:40 – Michael Clary’s Background: From Crew to Church Planting 11:00 – The “Normie Whisperer” and Introducing Hard Truths 14:00 – Winsomeness, Courage, and Paying the Price for Clarity 19:00 – Church Conflict, Elder Division, and Blessed Subtraction 23:30 – Why Christians Keep Falling for Emotional Narratives 26:40 – Weaponized Empathy and News Cycle Manipulation 29:00 – Love Without Discernment Is Not Love 32:30 – Head, Heart, and Hands: Building Whole Men 35:00 – Propaganda, Framing, and the Battle for the Dictionary 41:30 – Fear of Man or Fear of Woman? 45:30 – Feminine Empathy, Misplaced Compassion, and Cultural Chaos 47:30 – Training Men in Discernment in a Propaganda Age   Key Takeaways Emotions are not evidence of truth. • Love without knowledge and discernment becomes dangerous. • Propaganda rarely lies outright. It frames truth to control your reaction. • Weak pulpits create weak men. • Pastors must not fear emotional backlash more than they fear God. • Men must discipline their feelings instead of being ruled by them. Biblical love is strong. It is clear-eyed. It refuses to enable evil in the name of kindness.   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Good Marriages Require Good Fights

    Good Marriages Require Good Fights 11 Rules for Fighting Without Losing Your Temper, Your Leadership, or Your Wife Episode Summary Most marriages do not fall apart because of conflict. They fall apart because men do not know how to handle it. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon lays out a hard but hopeful truth. Conflict in marriage is inevitable. Chaos is not. God has given clear rules for fighting that protect authority, preserve peace, and strengthen unity when a husband leads instead of checks out or explodes. This is not marriage therapy. This is biblical leadership. You will learn why passivity poisons marriages, why egalitarian fighting never resolves anything, and how patriarchy done God’s way makes real peace possible. If your home feels like a constant battlefield or a cold ceasefire, this episode gives you a way forward.   Chapter Breaks 00:00 – Why marriage keeps turning into World War III 02:05 – Scripture, anger, and why men lose control 04:20 – The myth of “peace” without conflict 06:40 – Passivity, silence, and why resentment explodes 09:00 – What “good fights” actually are 11:30 – Choosing the right battles as a leader 14:00 – The Tunnel of Chaos explained 16:20 – Rule #1: No violence, no intimidation 18:45 – Rule #2: Divorce talk is forbidden 21:15 – Rule #3: No insults or character assassination 23:40 – Rule #4: Stick to the issue at hand 26:00 – Rule #5: No checking out 28:30 – Rule #6: Timeouts are allowed, abandonment is not 32:50 – Rule #7: No mind-reading or motive assigning 35:20 – Rule #8: Admit sin quickly and clearly 37:45 – Rule #9: Fight for truth, not ego 39:55 – Rule #10: Uphold biblical order in the fight 44:50 – Why patriarchy makes conflict possible, not oppressive 49:40 – Leadership, repentance, and restoring peace   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Shepherds Not Hirelings: Why You Need Pastoral Care

    Shepherds Not Hirelings Why You Need Pastoral Care Episode Summary Too many men today confuse content with care. They follow pastors online, defend them in comment sections, and quote them from podcasts but when their marriage is bleeding, their son is drifting, or sin tightens its grip, those men are nowhere to be found. In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Aaron Prelock, pastor of Bloomington Bible Church and newly elected president of New Geneva Academy, to expose the lie of influencer Christianity and recover the biblical vision of real shepherds. We talk about what pastoral care actually is, why the modern church has traded shepherds for platforms, how this damages men and families, and why your soul depends on being known, corrected, and loved by faithful elders. This is a call to stop drifting. Stop just consuming. Christ did not redeem you to be untethered. He bought a people and gave them shepherds, not hirelings.   Check out New Geneva Academy: https://www.newgenevaacademy.com/     Episode Chapters 00:00 – Content Is Not Care 02:20 – The Biblical Call to Shepherd the Flock 04:30 – Introducing Aaron Prelock and New Geneva Academy 08:00 – Pastoral Ministry in a Hostile Culture 13:45 – Training Pastors in Character, Conviction, and Courage 20:00 – Loving the Church as It Is, Not an Ideal 25:45 – Purity and Peace in the Church 28:30 – Sponsor: Steadfast Cigars 29:45 – What Pastoral Care Actually Is 35:10 – Why Preaching Alone Is Not Enough 41:20 – The Internet Age and the Loss of Shepherding 43:40 – Why Every Man Needs Pastoral Care 48:40 – What Real Pastoral Care Looks Like 49:55 – When Pastoral Care Becomes Abuse 55:25 – A Word to Cold and Weary Pastors 57:10 – Final Charge to Men   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Christ Is King: Why the State Must Honor Christianity Alone

    The Patriarchy Podcast | Pastor Joseph Spurgeon In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with James Baird, pastor and author of King of Kings, to dismantle the modern lie that the state can or should be religiously neutral. From towering pagan idols on American soil to the plain teaching of Psalm 2, this conversation exposes the reality every nation tries to avoid: every law serves a god, and every ruler will answer to Christ. We discuss Christian nationalism, answer objections from R2K theology, libertarianism, and theonomy, and return to historic Protestant political theology rooted in Scripture, the Westminster Standards, and the American founding. This is not about replacing the Church with the State. It is about rulers doing their God-given duty. Christ is King. Over hearts, but also over nations.   ⏱ Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – The lie of state neutrality and America’s pagan idols 02:30 – Psalm 2 and the duty of rulers to honor Christ 04:10 – Who is James Baird and why he wrote King of Kings 06:30 – Why modern evangelical political theology collapsed 11:50 – Christian nationalism: caricature vs historic reality 14:45 – The core argument: government and the public good 17:40 – Answering objections to the syllogism 21:00 – Does this replace the Church with the State? 23:10 – Can the state force Christianity? 25:00 – The First Amendment properly understood 29:10 – Why “protect all religions” is unbiblical 31:30 – Was America a Christian nation? 35:00 – Theonomy, natural law, and civil legislation 41:50 – COVID, tyranny, and bad political theology 44:00 – Is this a recipe for persecution? 50:00 – Pragmatism vs obedience 52:45 – Two Kingdoms theology challenged Final – Christ’s kingship over nations   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast equips men to embrace God-given masculinity for the glory of Christ and the good of His Kingdom.

    Minnesota ICE Shooting: Main Character Syndrome Can Get You Killed

    Main Character Syndrome Can Get You Killed Subtitle: LARPING for Meaning Episode Summary Our culture is obsessed with being the hero. Everyone is told their life must be epic, visible, and historically significant. That lie is getting people killed. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon dismantles “main character syndrome” and exposes how political activism, social media clout, and even distorted Christian teaching train people to abandon ordinary faithfulness for performative heroics. Using a recent fatal confrontation with ICE as a sobering case study, Joseph shows how LARPing moral drama replaces obedience, wisdom, and station. The heart of the episode centers on Barzillai from 2 Samuel 19. An old man. A wealthy man. A faithful man. Barzillai serves King David quietly, refuses reward, invests in the next generation, and disappears from the story without applause. Scripture honors him anyway. This episode is a call to reject theatrical Christianity, resist the craving for significance, and embrace the radical obedience of ordinary life. Faithfulness is not failure. Obscurity is not defeat. Jesus Christ is the main character. You are not.   Chapter Breaks 00:00 Intro and Scripture Reading (2 Samuel 19:32) 01:35 Barzillai vs the Cult of Visibility 02:50 The Minnesota ICE Shooting and Moral LARPing 07:40 Nazis, Comic Book Villains, and Fake Moral Courage 11:20 Leaving Station and the Cost of Playing Hero 13:45 Main Character Syndrome Defined 18:30 How Social Media Trains Narcissism 21:50 Barzillai’s Faithful Obscurity 27:00 Hospitality, the Kingdom, and Quiet Service 31:10 Refusing Reward and Investing in the Next Generation 37:45 Ordinary Faithfulness Is How God Builds His Kingdom 41:20 Encouragement for Middle-Aged Men 49:50 Psalm 128 and the Blessing of Faithful Work 53:00 Final Exhortation and Call to Share   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

    Why Your Kids Don’t Obey You and How to Fix It

    Principles for Obedience Training: Raising Children for Joy, Order, and Dominion   Episode Summary In this solo episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon lays down a biblical and unapologetically patriarchal framework for obedience training in the home. Drawing from Scripture and pastoral experience as a father of eight, this episode confronts modern parenting myths and reclaims God’s design for authority, discipline, and joy in the family. This is not about control for control’s sake. It is about training children to live under God-given authority for their good, their safety, and their future faithfulness. Pastor Joseph explains why obedience is foundational to parenting, how authority is meant to serve, and what God actually requires when He commands children to obey their parents. You will hear a clear standard for obedience, a theological defense of parental authority, and practical principles that expose why many parents unintentionally train disobedience instead of obedience. This episode is essential listening for fathers who want order in their homes, peace in their families, and children prepared to honor Christ in every sphere of life. If you are tired of barking commands, negotiating with toddlers, or watching chaos rule your home, this episode is for you.   Chapter Breakdown & Timestamps 00:00 – Scripture & Opening 02:20 – Purpose of the Episode 04:40 – Who Obedience Training Is Really For 06:30 – Biblical Foundation for Obedience 09:50 – Authority Redefined 12:30 – Pagan Power vs Christian Authority 16:45 – Why Mothers Must Embrace Obedience Training 18:15 – Four Reasons Obedience Training Is Necessary 20:30 – Obedience and Safety 22:40 – Obedience and Education 25:00 – Moral Foundations 27:20 – The Standard of Obedience 29:20 – Biblical Proof for the Obedience Standard 32:30 – Why Grumbling Is Serious Sin 35:45 – Parenting Begins With Self-Discipline 37:45 – Principle One: Say What You Mean 40:15 – Why Bribery Corrupts Obedience 44:00 – Losing Your Cool Teaches Delayed Obedience 46:20 – The Hostage Negotiation Mistake 49:35 – Principle Two: You Are the Parent 51:40 – Stop Asking Permission to Give Commands 54:00 – Principle Three: Get the Child’s Attention 56:15 – Training Attention and Verbal Response   About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.
