Raising Modern-Day Knights: Chivalry, Fatherhood & Biblical Masculinity

Is chivalry really dead? Or did we just forget what it meant? In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Austin Leupp—a father of six, welder, and host of Rooted in Logos—to discuss what it means to raise sons as modern-day knights.

Forget Hollywood. This isn’t about fairytales. It’s about training boys to become men of courage, conviction, and Christ-centered purpose. We dive deep into the forgotten truths of knighthood, biblical rites of passage, and how fathers can give their sons a vision for manhood that’s fierce, faithful, and grounded in the Word of God. Whether you’re a dad, a mentor, or a man who never had this training—you need to hear this.

Topics Covered:
✅ Why chivalry isn’t dead—it’s just been neutered
✅ The forgotten Christian roots of knighthood
✅ What modern men can learn from medieval warriors
✅ The power of ceremonies and rites of passage in raising sons
✅ How to train your boys to fight sin like it’s a dragon
✅ Discipline, responsibility, and courage in fatherhood
✅ Why modern education keeps boys weak—and how to fix it ✅ How Christian men can reclaim honor, strength, and leadership
