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.
