So you have been studying the word of God and you realize that there are some changes that need to be made in the way you and your household do things.

Perhaps you need to start implementing family worship.

You need to create a budget.

You need to put a regular schedule in place.

Maybe you come to a theological change. You believe that the bible requires your wife to wear a head covering in church. Or perhaps you now believe the covenant promises of scripture and thus you need to baptize your children.

Whatever the change, you know it needs to be done.

But you also know that this requires leading your wife through these changes. You would be a fool to think you can just come home and plop down an order from on high without someone kind of strategy to do so.

So what do you do? How do you lead a wife through changes?

The PCA has finally released its report on Christian Nationalism. Predictably, the internet reacted before most people had even finished reading it. Some condemned it simply because it came from the PCA. Others praised it because they oppose Christian Nationalism. Very few people slowed down long enough to ask the question that actually matters:

What does the report really say?

Many men in our day did not grow up under strong fathers. They did not have steady men showing them how to lead, discipline, teach, protect, repent, and love. So when they become fathers themselves, they often drift into patterns of leadership that make following difficult, painful, or nearly impossible.

That matters because fatherhood is never neutral. Every father is teaching his household something about authority. He is giving his wife and children some picture of fatherhood, and when that picture is passive, harsh, unstable, silent, or weightless, it tells lies about the fatherhood of God.

That is why we need to name the patterns. Not so men can wallow in guilt, but so they can repent, grow, and learn to lead their homes in a way that reflects the strength, wisdom, justice, and love of our Father in

At the end of the matter, hospitality is not first about your house. It is about your heart.

Would you have welcomed Jesus, or would you have wanted Him gone?

That is not a game. It is the question beneath every other question. The men in the Gospels answered it in different ways, and men are still answering it now.

Some receive Him gladly. Some use Him for appearances. Some speak well of Him until His words expose them. Some want a Christ who heals but does not rule, feeds but does not judge, comforts but does not command. That Christ does not exist.

The real Christ receives sinners, but He also reigns. He welcomes, provides, protects, commands, and judges. He opens His table to His people and will one day cast out all who hate Him.

So receive Him now.

Then go and order your life accordingly. Open your home with wisdom. Use your strength to protect. Use your resources to provide. Welcome others without surrendering truth. Lead your household in a way that reflects the King.

Because hospitality is never merely about dinner.

It reveals whether a man belongs to Christ.

The goal of marriage is not silence. It is unity in truth.

Good marriages are not those without conflict. They are marriages where conflict serves repentance, clarity, and peace instead of bitterness and division.

If your home feels tense or volatile, do not despair. Learn to fight well. Learn to lead. Learn to repent when necessary. Learn to stay engaged.

Jesus Christ is the Chief Shepherd. Every faithful pastor serves under Him and will give an account to Him. That is a sobering reality.

But it is also a gift to the Church.

If you are not under shepherding, you are exposed. Not because you are incapable, but because God never designed His people to live untethered.

Most Christian parents know they are supposed to teach their children to obey. Few feel confident they are doing it well.

For many families, daily life feels like a cycle of repeated commands, rising frustration, bargaining, and eventual blowups. Parents feel guilty for being “too harsh” one moment and ashamed for being passive the next. Children learn to delay, negotiate, and push boundaries, while peace in the home feels elusive.

Scripture offers us something better.

God does not command obedience to burden families but to bless them. Obedience is not about control for control’s sake. It is about joy, order, safety, and preparing children to live faithfully under God’s authority.

If we want our homes to reflect the goodness of God’s design, we must recover a biblical vision for obedience training.

Andrew Rappaport was raised Jewish, trained to argue, and taught to reject Jesus. But when the gospel confronted him, he couldn't argue his way out. He followed the truth of Christianity—and lost his family in the process.

Death is not the end. For the Christian, it is the doorway to glory. But how we handle the body after death still matters. It matters more than most Christians realize.

Today, many believers casually opt for cremation. It’s cheaper. It’s faster. And the culture tells us it doesn’t really matter. “It’s just a shell,” they say. “The soul is gone.” But that thinking is not Christian. It is secular and often rooted in paganism.

There’s a rising idea spreading among post-liberals and frustrated young men online: the claim that you can’t save the West by having a family. According to this argument, marriage and children only weigh men down, distract them from the “real fight,” and dilute the army of single, angry warriors needed to storm the gates of political power.

It sounds bold. It sounds strategic. It even sounds—at first—like realism. But it’s wrong. Not just slightly wrong, but fundamentally, civilizationally, biblically wrong.

The idea that you must abandon marriage and children to save the West is the ideological equivalent of George W. Bush saying he had to “abandon free-market principles to save the free-market system.” It’s self-defeating. It destroys the very foundation of what it claims to protect.

If you abandon the family, you abandon civilization.
If you abandon civilization, what exactly are you fighting to save?

In this article, I want to speak plainly to men who feel the weight of cultural decay. You feel the pull to do something. You want to fight. Praise God for that. But hear me clearly:

Imagine standing on a battlefield. Smoke rising. Chaos in the air. An enemy charging. Another man jumps into the trench beside you, rifle pointed in the same direction. You don’t start the conversation by asking where he went to seminary. You don’t quiz him on baptism. You don’t demand his entire doctrinal statement. You’re just glad he’s not aiming at you.

That’s the instinct behind the popular idea of “No Enemies on the Right.”

But instincts, if left unchecked, turn into blind spots. And blind spots are where men die.

In the latest episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Jon Harris and I walked through the real, biblical, manly framework for thinking about alliances—political, cultural, and personal.

This blog post applies those principles directly to your life, your leadership, and your responsibilities as a Christian man.

Roe v. Wade is gone. The headlines said “victory.” The pro-life movement threw parties. Politicians took their victory laps.
But the blood still flows.

Abortion is still legal in all fifty states. The clinics still hum. Chemical abortions are quietly taking more lives than ever before.
So we have to ask the hard question: have we really won?

And maybe the harder question: why can’t Christian men who claim to love the truth actually work together to end this evil?

Every man wants the crown. Every man wants respect. But the path to kingship doesn’t run through comfort. It runs through caves—through sleepless nights, betrayal, hunger, and silence. That’s where God does His best work.

King David didn’t become a man after God’s own heart on the throne. He became that man in the dirt, with blood on his hands and tears in his beard, deciding whether to trust God when it looked like God had left him.

And you, modern man, church man, angry man, working man—you will face the same tests. These are the trials that reveal what you really are when the crown isn’t in sight and the only thing you’re holding is a sword and a prayer.

In this first part, we’ll look at the first five tests. They’re not theory. They’re your life.

The American church is overrun with eschatological escapism. For decades, Christian men have been taught that the faithful path is one of passive waiting, eyes to the sky, hands in their pockets, hearts disengaged from the world they were commissioned to disciple. This is not biblical hope. It is cowardice dressed up as theology.

In a recent episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Rusty Thomas and I tackled the lie of modern rapture theology. What we uncovered should disturb every Christian man who claims to love Christ and His Kingdom.

They shot him in the neck.

That’s how the story ends for some men who speak too clearly in an age that hates truth. When Charlie Kirk was gunned down, some said it was just political. They’re wrong. It was spiritual. It was religious. It was martyrdom.

The church needs to wake up.

In the days following Charlie’s assassination, many pulpits fell silent. A few muttered something vague about “the tragedy” or tried to find blame on “both sides.” But the truth is, most pastors said nothing—nothing—while bold men bled and wolves howled at the door.

And that silence is its own kind of betrayal.

The term Christian Nationalism has become a lightning rod—sparking debate, confusion, and in some corners, outright panic. For some, it's a hopeful vision for rebuilding Christian civilization. For others, it's a bogeyman conjured up to label faithful men as dangerous extremists.

In our most recent episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, I sat down with Pastor Richard Lusk to cut through the hysteria and speak plainly about what Christian Nationalism is, where the battle lines are, and why so many people—even within the church—are afraid of it.

When Roe v. Wade fell, many Christians thought the war was over. Headlines screamed victory. Politicians claimed credit. Churches cheered. And yet, babies are still being murdered every single day under the protection of law.

Why? Because compromise has rotted the foundation of the so-called “pro-life movement.”
