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.
