You Can Save the West by Having a Family The Patriarchy Podcast | Pastor Joseph Spurgeon In this episode, Joseph Spurgeon dismantles the foolish idea that “you can’t save the West by having a family.” He walks through the biblical, historical, and cultural reality that civilizations live or die on the strength of the household—and why children are not a distraction from the cultural battle… they are the battle. Joseph responds to a popular post-liberal article claiming young men should avoid marriage and kids in order to “fight the culture war.” In typical Patriarchy fashion, he exposes the lie, opens Scripture, and makes the case that families—not frustrated bachelors—are what actually build nations and save civilizations. Be fruitful. Multiply. Take dominion. This is how you fight.   Episode Description Civilizations don’t collapse because men have too many kids—they collapse because men stop having them. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon dismantles the idea that young men should avoid marriage and children for the sake of “saving the West.” He exposes the shallow logic of post-liberal elitism, shows why children are weapons in the cultural battle, and walks through Scripture and history to demonstrate one central truth: Nations are built, defended, and renewed by fathers, mothers, and their children—not isolated activists. If you want to strengthen the church, rebuild culture, and see Christ’s Kingdom advance, then pick up a hammer, marry a wife, raise godly children, and take dominion. This is how men fight. Be strong in body, mind, and heart—for the glory of the Lord, the love of neighbor, and the blessing of your posterity. Build. Fight. Protect. Lead.

Nick Fuentes, NETTR, and the Battle for Young Men’s Hearts   In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with returning guest Jon Harris (host of the Conversations That Matter podcast) to unpack one of the most contentious debates raging in right-wing and Christian political spaces: the rise of Nick Fuentes, the resurgence of the “No Enemies to the Right” (NETTR / Neottr) philosophy, and what all of this means for the future of young men who are desperate for direction, leadership, and truth.   This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a field manual for discerning men in a fog-of-war cultural moment.   Topics Covered:   ✅ NETTR vs. NEOTTR – What do these terms mean, who coined them, and how should faithful Christian men think about coalition-building on the right?   ✅ Nick Fuentes & the Groypers – Jon Harris gives a hard critique of Fuentes, his methods, character, and why he fails the biblical test of leadership, even if he claims to fight “the left.”   ✅ The Danger of Compromised Alliances – How co-belligerency works in Scripture (Abraham, David, Daniel, Nehemiah) versus when you’re just riding shotgun in a car driven by fools.   ✅ David & Joab – A biblical case study in working with dangerous allies while maintaining godly clarity and never surrendering your integrity.   ✅ Pastoral Wisdom for the Young & Angry – Why many of these “dissident right” figures appeal to lost young men—and why the Church must offer more than finger-wagging or limp-wristed “niceness.”   ✅ Don’t Fall for the Revenge-of-the-Dork Trap – Jon and Joseph explain how ragebait influencers hijack real masculine instincts and direct them toward perversion, cowardice, and idolatry.    Key Takeaways: Not every co-belligerent is a brother. You can fight in the same trench without handing over the megaphone—or your soul. Bad company corrupts good morals (1 Cor. 15:33). Even if someone punches left, that doesn’t make him a leader worth following. True masculinity is principled, not primal. Biblical manhood doesn’t settle for vulgarity, victimhood, or cowardice dressed up as strength.     About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast features in-depth conversations on faith, culture, theology, and leadership.

Why Are Pastors Afraid of Christian Nationalism?   Is Christian Nationalism a dangerous heresy—or faithful obedience to Christ’s kingship over nations? In this episode, Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Pastor Richard Lusk, author of Notes on Christian Nationalism: Origins and Fault Lines, to answer the accusations, correct the lies, and clarify the calling. Read the article here: https://theopolisinstitute.com/notes-on-christian-nationalism-origins-and-fault-lines/ They tackle everything from Stephen Wolfe’s book to the fear-mongering from soft evangelicalism.

Who Is a Jew? Zionism, Ethnicity, and the Gospel | The Patriarchy Podcast In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Joseph Wiseman—a publisher and faithful Christian—to tackle one of the most heated and misunderstood questions of our day: Who is a Jew? Modern evangelicalism often idolizes the state of Israel, while internet voices swing to the opposite ditch, denying Jewish identity altogether or blaming the Jews for every problem under the sun. But what does Scripture actually teach? How do we understand Jewish ethnicity, Zionism, dispensationalism, and the promises of God in Christ? Wiseman brings a rare perspective as a man raised in Jewish culture who now boldly confesses Christ. Together, we cut through the lies from both sides and ground the conversation in the Word of God and the Westminster Confession.   What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why both blind support for modern Israel and conspiratorial hatred of Jews miss the mark The biblical and historical meaning of “Jew”—ethnic, religious, and spiritual dimensions How God’s promises to Israel are fulfilled in Christ, not in political Zionism The future of ethnic Jews in God’s plan of salvation The dangers of dispensationalism and racial theories A clear, Reformed perspective rooted in Scripture   Guest Bio Joseph Wiseman is an ethnic Jew and faithful Christian. He runs Beareth Press and writes on theology, church life, and Christian cultural engagement. Raised in a Jewish family, he came to Christ and now speaks candidly about Jewish identity, history, and the gospel.   Episode Chapters 00:00 – Cold Open: Zionist hype & conspiratorial nonsense mocked01:14 – Setting the stage: Who is a Jew? Why the confusion?03:26 – Introduction & Psalm-singing: Fear God, not man04:27 – Romans 11 read & explained05:00 – The modern idolization of Israel vs conspiratorial hatred06:53 – Guest introduction: Joseph Wiseman’s story08:35 – Does Jewish ethnicity = bias? Wiseman responds10:48 – Wiseman’s background: Jewish roots, conversion, and coming to Christ15:14 – From Messianic movement to true repentance19:29 – Defining “Jew”: religious, ethnic, national dimensions23:44 – Judaism vs Christianity: Who are God’s people?28:19 – God’s promises and future salvation of Jews32:53 – What is dispensationalism—and why reject it?37:20 – One people of God, one way of salvation39:34 – Should Christians support modern Israel politically?41:53 – Jesus’ parables, the rejection of ethnic privilege, and grafting in Gentiles44:01 – Are there ethnic Jews today? Historical and biblical evidence50:00 – Final thoughts, exhortations, and call to action   Takeaway There is one people of God, saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. Ethnic heritage cannot save, nor does loyalty to a modern nation. God’s promises find their Yes and Amen in Jesus Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Ben Zeisloft, author of Forsakers of the Fatherless, to expose how the pro-life establishment has betrayed the very children it claims to defend. From sabotaging abolition bills to playing politics with preborn lives, the truth is darker than most Christians realize. Ben pulls back the curtain. We talk treachery, cowardice, and why equal justice for the unborn isn’t optional—it’s commanded by God. This isn’t about pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is about justice vs. compromise.

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: Jimmy Graham’s story from the Navy SEALs to the CIA How a felony charge as a young man changed his life trajectory The mindset of endurance forged in Hell Week and beyond Why spiritual strength must drive mental and physical resilience The failures of the church in training men to protect The Protector Culture: What it means and why we need it Why men must reject the lie of Valhalla and embrace Christ’s call How to practically train to defend your family—spiritually, mentally, physically Men, stop drifting. Stand up, build, fight, protect, and lead. Subscribe for more direct, unapologetic conversations on biblical masculinity, leadership, and Christian duty.

This week, Joseph Spurgeon shares an unfiltered interview from Anatomy of the Church and State with host Jeremiah Campana. Together they tackle the controversial topic of the Crusades—the errors, the bravery, the eternal stakes—and what Christian men today must learn. Was it all just Roman Catholic works-righteousness? Was it a defense of Christendom? What should modern men reclaim? What must we reject? If you’ve ever fantasized about being a Crusader—but can’t show up for church or your family—this episode is for you.   Chapters & Timestamps: 00:00 – Cold Open: Godfrey of Bouillon and the Crown of Thorns 01:50 – Introduction: Sharing a Cross-Podcast Interview 03:20 – Jeremiah’s Introduction & Why the Crusades Matter Now 05:40 – Joseph’s Journey into Studying the Crusades 07:15 – The Liberal vs. Conservative Take on the Crusades 09:00 – What Was Bad About the Crusades?
