The Patriarchy Podcast - Equipping Christian Men to Build, Fight, Protect and Lead

Is baseball the devil? No—but your calendar might be.

In this hard-hitting episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon welcomes Pastor Jake Mentzel—father of eight, faithful preacher, and little league coach—to talk about sports, idolatry, fatherhood, and the gospel.

For many Christian families, the baseball diamond has replaced the church pew. Sports become a second religion, and Sunday becomes just another game day. But what if sports could be redeemed—used to shape courage, self-control, and godly masculinity?

We’re cutting through the excuses and getting real about what it looks like to raise sons who fight for Christ’s kingdom, not for fading trophies.

What You’ll Learn:

• How sports can shape boys into men—or turn them into idolaters
• The difference between a coach who builds boys and one who breaks them
• Why sports culture is often more consistent than church culture
• How to make Christ—not competition—central in your home
• Why emotional toughness matters for young men
• The biblical antidote to performance-based love

Don’t let ESPN raise your sons.
Lead your household. Train your children. Reclaim the ballfield for Christ.

In this episode, pastor Joseph and guests Pastors Jerry Dorris and Tanner Cartwright discuss the topic of voting in the upcoming presidential election, specifically in relation to the issue of abortion. They share their personal experiences with abortion ministry and their involvement in the abolitionist movement. They address the division within the movement regarding whether or not to vote for Donald Trump, who they see as the better candidate for advancing the cause of abolition. They emphasize the importance of thinking in categories and not idolizing the candidate, but rather seeing the vote as a tool to advance the end of abortion and protect the church and family. In this conversation, the church elders discuss the importance of voting and the responsibility to protect and provide for one's family. They discuss the virtues of Donald Trump that not many recognize.
