The Patriarchy Podcast | Pastor Joseph Spurgeon ft. Jon Harris Even strong men can be deceived. You rejected wokeism. You hate feminism. Good. But have you replaced those lies with a new idol? In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Jon Harris (host of Conversations That Matter) to expose how even based men fall for ideological traps. This isn’t just about the Left. It's about how all ideologies twist truth, reduce manhood, and distract godly men from Christ. Whether it's race, class, politics, or even “based” tribalism—if it replaces Christ as the center, it's a lie. Jon and Joseph break it all down: what ideology is, why it’s seductive, and how to fight it with truth, maturity, and a rooted life in God’s Word. 📌 Chapters: 00:00 – The Deception of Ideology 02:55 – John Harris: Exposing Wokeism and Liberalism 05:52 – The Rise of Social Justice in Christian Institutions 09:09 – The Current State of Wokeism in the Church 11:47 – Understanding Ideology: Definitions and Implications 15:13 – The Relationship Between Ideology, Worldview, and Religion 18:00 – The Modern Search for Ideological Keys 20:59 – The Dangers of Ideological Reductionism 24:12 – The Intersection of Ideology and Social Issues 26:33 – The Role of DNA in Identity and Culture 29:16 – Maturity and Ideological Drift 32:22 – The Dangers of Oversimplification in Ideologies 36:15 – Understanding Conservatism vs. Ideology 40:30 – Navigating Back to a Christ-Centered Perspective 45:44 – Strength in Character Over Ideology 51:02 – Practical Steps for Men to Stay Rooted SPONSORED BY Patriarch Cigars – For men who reject passivity and take dominion Order here: https://patriarchcigars.com/ 📚 Books by Joseph Spurgeon ➡️ It’s Good to Be a Boy – https://a.co/d/7zpEh5D ➡️ It’s Good to Be a Girl – https://a.co/d/6VlBTzS Connect with The Patriarchy Podcast ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePatriarchyPodcast 🎙 Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/58tm5zjz 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/f3ruzrsa 🌍 Website & All Links: https://linktr.ee/thepatriarchypodcast 💬 Social Media 🔹 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePatriarchyPodcast 🔹 Twitter/X: https://x.com/PatriarchyPod 🔹 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepatriarchypodcast 🔹 Gab: https://gab.com/thepatriarchypodcast Take Action 📢 Share this episode with a brother in Christ 📝 Leave a review on your podcast platform Talk about it with your men’s group Sign up for updates: https://linktr.ee/thepatriarchypodcast Men need truth.
