The Patriarchy Podcast | The Great Commission or the Great Guilt Trip?

How to Do Missions Without Destroying Your Family

Are you a real Christian if you haven’t sold your house, moved overseas, and blogged about orphans from a hammock?

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Alex Kocman (ABWE) to talk missions—real missions. Not the kind that wrecks homes and shames ordinary men, but the kind that builds families, churches, and nations. They expose the guilt-driven radicalism of modern missions and offer a biblically grounded, manly alternative.

🔥 Topics Covered:

✅ Is it radical to stay—or cowardly?

✅ Why “missions” became a status symbol in woke evangelicalism

✅ How Platt’s Radical movement stirred zeal but caused wreckage

✅ How to send missionaries without exporting feminism

✅ The need for hard men on the mission field

✅ Biblical church-based sending (Acts 13 model)

✅ Why strong families make strong missions

✅ How average men can obey the Great Commission without guilt

✅ What the “order of loves” teaches us about mission priorities

The modern education system is a factory of fools—pumping out weak men, bitter women, and children trained to hate their faith, their fathers, and their future.

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down face-to-face with his assistant pastor, Greg Anglen, to talk about how Sovereign King Academy was born: a hybrid school built by the church, for the glory of Christ, and for the good of the next generation.

They cover what it means for fathers to reclaim authority over their children’s education, how to build something from scratch, and why it’s time for men to stop outsourcing discipleship to the state.

Men need truth. Men need strength. Men need Christ.
Build. Fight. Protect. Lead. This is The Patriarchy.

In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon interviews Jimmy Graham—a former Navy SEAL, CIA protective officer, and now the founder of Able Shepherd. Jimmy’s mission is clear: to train men to be protectors in every sphere—body, mind, and soul.

We discuss Jimmy’s journey from elite warrior to Christ-centered leader, why the church is filled with weak men, and how to build a protector culture that rejects passivity and embraces responsibility.

Men are called to shepherd, not just survive. If you’re tired of the lies of feminism, the softness of modern churches, and the plague of effeminacy, this episode will rearm your thinking.

Topics Covered:

Men, stop drifting. Stand up, build, fight, protect, and lead.

Subscribe for more direct, unapologetic conversations on biblical masculinity, leadership, and Christian duty.

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon tackles the soft betrayal of evangelical leaders who have traded truth for cultural approval. From Sodom to the SBC, from rainbow buses to feminist pulpits, he unpacks why homosexuality is not simply “not God’s best for human flourishing”—it is a monstrous rebellion against God’s created order. This is not a whisper. It’s a sin that shouts for judgment.

But there is also hope: “Such were some of you.” Christ can cleanse and transform even the most defiled.

Men, this is your call to stand firm when others capitulate.

Forged in Fire: How Civil War and Grit Gave Us the Westminster Confession

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Zach Jackson to pull back the curtain on the fire-forged legacy of the Westminster Assembly. Don’t think of history as just some boring academic exercise. This is the story of men who fought political corruption, endured civil war, and wrote the blueprint for Reformed theology—all for the glory of Christ.

You’ll discover how the church stood its ground when kings bowed to tyranny, how theology shaped politics, and why this battle still matters for men today. It’s time to stop being soft on doctrine and start wielding truth like a sword.

Topics Covered:

✅ Why the Westminster Assembly was a battlefield, not a boardroom
✅ The role of Charles I, Bloody Mary, and the divine right of kings in theological warfare

✅ How civil war, reformation, and biblical conviction collided
✅ Why every man—whether Presbyterian or not—needs to care about the Westminster Confession
✅ Sphere sovereignty, the church vs. the state, and Christian nationalism

The Patriarchy Podcast | Race, Immigration, and the Church – A Biblical Response with Pastor Gavin Beers

The world says race doesn’t matter… until it does. DEI. White guilt. CRT in the pulpit. Globalist immigration agendas. Kinism creeping into Christ’s church. Meanwhile, most pastors won’t touch this topic with a ten-foot shepherd’s staff.

Not here.

In this hard-hitting episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Pastor Gavin Beers to take a biblical and paleoconservative look at the issues of race, nationhood, immigration, kinism, and segregation in the church. We’re not woke. We’re not color-blind. And we’re not silent. This conversation tackles the tough topics with clarity, courage, and biblical conviction.

Topics Covered:

✅ Why color-blind evangelicalism fails
✅ Race and ethnicity: Are they real?
