The War for Your Children: Building a School That Fights Back

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.

NOTE: This was recorded live in a new studio—we're testing a face-to-face video format. The content is 🔥, but the audio and video quality are still being refined. Stick with it—it’s worth it.

🔥 Topics Covered:

✅ Why Pastor Greg got bored of education—and did something about it
✅ How the state trains your children to obey them, not God
✅ The difference between homeschooling, co-ops, and hybrid schools
✅ Why fathers must lead—and not delegate everything to mom
✅ The bold vision behind Sovereign King Academy
✅ How to train boys and girls differently without apologizing
✅ Real-life examples of hands-on, manhood-building education
✅ Raising $80K without compromise—and doing it again
✅ What every church and pastor can learn from this project
✅ How you can support schools that fight back
