- \n
Patriarch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Literal meaning: “Father-ruler” (patriarches<\/em> in Greek). Historically, this refers to male leaders such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Bible. True biblical patriarchs were called to lead under God\u2019s authority with humility and care.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Matriarch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- The female head of a family or tribe, representing wisdom, nurturing leadership, and spiritual guidance (e.g., Sarah or Deborah in the Bible).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

Levitical Patriarch<\/strong> (Taveau\u2019s coined\u00a0 Term<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Refers to men operating under the spirit of hierarchical authority seen in the Old Testament tribe of Levi, often characterized by rigid control or legalism without grace.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

Levitical Patriarchism <\/strong>(again T’s teaching term)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n- A term for hierarchical male-dominated systems, especially in Christian ministry, that mimic Old Testament priestly control without incorporating Christ\u2019s servant-leadership model.<\/span><\/li>\n

The Patriarchy (General and Contextual Meanings)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nT inserts this purposely: <\/strong>All of this “apostolic ministry training”\u00a0 is to teach discernment in “meeting men” compare in depth”many Christian men in ministry and business, family. “The Christian\/Patriarchy in ministry business and family and “The Levitical Patriarchy in ministry business and family”<\/span><\/p>\n\n- \n
The Patriarchy in Ministry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Definition<\/strong>: A system of male-dominated leadership, often rooted in rigid, traditional authority structures.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Concerns<\/strong>: In some religious systems, patriarchal leadership can manifest as exclusionary practices that marginalize women, suppress differing voices, or enforce authoritarian leadership styles.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Biblical Response<\/strong>: True spiritual leadership should reflect mutual submission<\/em> (Ephesians 5:21) and equality in Christ (Galatians 3:28: “There is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The Patriarchy in Business<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Definition<\/strong>: A hierarchical structure where leadership roles are predominantly male, often with decision-making power concentrated at the top.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Implications<\/strong>: This can lead to a lack of opportunities for women or minority groups, unequal pay, and workplace biases.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Solution<\/strong>: Ethical business practices promote diversity, equal opportunity, and leadership based on merit, not gender.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The Patriarchy in Secular Society<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Definition<\/strong>: A societal structure where men traditionally hold primary power in politics, economics, and social roles.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Modern Challenges<\/strong>: Many secular movements seek to dismantle entrenched biases and promote equity across genders.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Balanced View<\/strong>: Equity doesn\u2019t mean erasing roles but fostering respect, fairness, and shared leadership across societal structures.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The Patriarchy in Religious Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Definition<\/strong>: In some religious settings, patriarchal leadership may result in strict gender roles, limiting women\u2019s participation in leadership or ministry roles.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Potential Issues<\/strong>: Overemphasis on authority can foster legalism, judgment, or exclusion rather than encouragement and discipleship.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Biblical Example<\/strong>: The New Testament highlights women in prominent ministry roles (e.g., Priscilla, Phoebe), suggesting that early Christianity embraced diverse leadership.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5. “Boys Will Be Boys” Christian Ministry Subculture**<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n- The phrase “boys will be boys<\/strong>” in the context of a Christian ministry subculture refers to a mindset or attitude that excuses certain behaviors, often linked to gendered expectations, under the premise that men (or boys) are naturally predisposed to act in a certain way. In this subculture, behaviors that might be seen as inappropriate or harmful\u2014such as lack of accountability, disrespect, or entitlement\u2014are dismissed as “just part of being male” or as natural male behavior that doesn’t need correction.<\/span><\/li>\n
- In ministry circles<\/strong> where this mindset prevails, it can result in a lack of responsibility for actions, especially when those actions negatively affect others. This attitude often reinforces harmful stereotypes about masculinity and can perpetuate a culture of control, exclusivity, and a failure to fully address issues like emotional maturity, interpersonal boundaries, and equality. It can also lead to the marginalization of those who don’t fit the stereotypical mold, especially women, as their contributions or concerns may be seen as less important or legitimate.**<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
**TD interjects: Read LP Eli and His Two Ministry Sons I Samuel 1-4 for the worst example (for those in the older Bible teaching generation: These were not cross carrying members of the Promise Keepers)<\/strong><\/p>\nTD SUMMARY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nTaveau sums up all of this as SHE<\/strong> has observed, descending from a NON BIASED, NON LP Pastor Father and wise similar business, ministry large family, men are equal to Godly women and vice versa. Note: her father raised her respected. He was not an Patriarch but. a easy going, hands on great father, an authentic Christian gentleman, who loved his wife as the Bible says and played, worked with her and us, as “unit” “team” “co-laborers”<\/span><\/p>\nApostle Taveau’s own version of<\/strong> “defining” these Christian men (mostly ALL Caucasian in these wide USA grass roots ministry experiences:<\/span><\/p>\nWhen you encounter a group of men,<\/strong> work among them, attend a church or ministry, or join a network or meeting, there are typically various types of men. Some are accepting, non-biased, and non-sexist\u2014what I would consider “family men,” who possess dignity and an anchored disposition. These men are trustworthy and non-gender-biased.<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, when you enter a \u201cPatriarchy,\u201d<\/strong> it can feel like a man\u2019s club\u2014like a clique, even with a cult-like energy. In these environments, I often find myself typecast and excluded, not only as a woman but as part of a group of people who are not their preferred \u201ctype.\u201d The Patriarchy can take many forms, with men of different sizes and colors, yet they often maintain a specific, exclusive energy.<\/span><\/p>\nWithin ministry circles<\/strong>, I see this same Patriarchy, one that rules with an iron fist,uses of lot power to control,\u00a0 shows partiality, and often has a bias against atypical “non LP ” certain styles of persons and majorly (white) women.(why do I say white women. I have studied and puzzled about this nearly 40 years, and realized these are fearful of being accused of being “racist” so they lay off most dark skinned leader women (her view). It usually only feels comfortable with it’s own race, style, even “looks.”\u00a0 (which by participating in doing such, makes it biased, exclusive and have more traits of “the world” than Jesus Christ’s accepting CHURCH.”<\/span><\/p>\nIn the various, United States<\/strong>, usually among ‘prophetic charismatics” which view themselves as “elite” I find that God uses me, to “trigger many of them” on a regular “newbie visitor, leader female, basis” It does not bother me, usually, however if they are the Patriachian** Hierarchy, LP Misogynist “kinds” I get “evil evil “witchcraft micromanaged, inner deep scan (divined) and never spoken to. I note this on behalf of many other prophetic nice women..who are word cursed, objectified, sometimes mean streak manhandled, for no reason of than “showing up” and “having that certain inner vibe” they name you a “Jezebel, witch or worse\u00a0 (“harlot”). ** Article on Patriacians will follow; basic meaning “aristocratic, elite”)<\/span><\/p>\nRepeatedly, since<\/strong> uncovering some of this starting in late 1980s’s one, when it was first very mild but then as “famous Christianity” and the many celebrity “niche specialist” blossomed into giant throngs of divining similar, some cult like ‘devout true followers” the charismatic, pentecostal ‘tribal , clan men” seemed to find their similar identity in a lot of this and this “accepted white against white, ‘anti types of women, in addition to the Pauline Levitical\u00a0 Legalism, also Eve was deceived, let’s accuse ALL of the weak willed “easy prey” Little Women ..which I noticed full force for my time EVER in the Deep South West (again) Levitical Patriarchy famous celebrity\u00a0 “Neo Phariseeism” seeming “nouveau riche<\/em> Famous Face self styled (elite)systems”\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\nIn my case, I<\/strong> make a continual effort to consciously and purposely\u00a0 avoid having ANY known human person, ministry, faith or\u00a0 GENDER BIAS(or racist) <\/span><\/p>\nSince Jesus People<\/strong> non elite days..this respecting individual, who is real true sort of\u00a0 person, has actively tried\u00a0 live circumspect, and fair..meaning ” my entire grown up life.”<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, by God\u2019s grand design,<\/strong> \u201cfor the sake of His Call,\u201d I have found myself triggering no other form of Christian, non-Christian, or Christian ministry person except those adhering to certain patterns\u2014specifically, those involved in a \u201cone human covering, submission, and white Levitical Patriarch Big Boss\u201d style. Each and every time, when I examine their affiliations, race, style, doctrines, pedigrees, and mentoring, it becomes evident that almost all of them turn out to be chief office \u201cturf owners,\u201d entrenched in a Levitical Patriarchal cultural nest.<\/span><\/p>\nAgain, I need to say MANY might<\/strong> be as the I Samuel Eli and Predatory Misogynist Sons..but most are not. They are shallow and merchandising, and on the go with ‘handy formula” And though this person has never been targeted, stared at, avoided, scowled at and scanned,\u00a0 by any African heritage,** also dark skinned humans, (Aside, yet I did had ONE tiny relationship, decades past,\u00a0 with authority who intentionally went behind my back, never consulted me, betrayed and ruined me… but that was the only ONE in nearly 40 plus ministry Front Lines successful (not meaning money) well preserved years.<\/span><\/p>\nI have repeatedly, ongoing,\u00a0 taken deep personal invento<\/strong>ry and noted “the difference in Western European deep ancestry types of many persons. I view myself as “far more multicultural, energized, rhythmic and ‘global” than these. I call my self and ones like this person WE GLOBALS (accepting all, not demanding to be OVER them) I name these others a ministry, subculture who demands to “rule OVER Us” as the\u00a0 “”We are the Only Ruling World” and the We-Centric Colonials.” (My opinion)\u00a0 And while each one in every human subculture is unique, and hand crafted and beloved by God…when I am among Levitical Patriarchs and Levitical Matriarchs, I am continually spied from afar sitting out in the vast audience, zeroed in on then cult watched.<\/span><\/p>\nI notice\u00a0 that while<\/strong> I am not gender biased or racist..that if\/when that happens,\u00a0 I “trigger” quite a big ministry STEREOTYPE ..which was exceedingly difficult at first..but which I now embrace, as a SENT ONE… on behalf of the true Christian body.<\/span><\/p>\nOne thing for certain<\/strong>….I do not seem to “fit ” the Boys Club, Girls Club…and\/or occult\/ cult type. But I can leave them and forgive them, but grow and learn how NOT TO BE…\u00a0 2 Timothy 3:1-8, 1 Timothy 6:5 are my Pauline instructions.<\/span><\/p>\nNOTE:<\/strong> I realize that I am now enjoying genuine “breakthrough” yet I still abide in “relationship Isaiah 1:18 for each and every person”<\/span><\/p>\n
