Joshua K. Haymes is an American podcaster and pastor. He hosts the Reformation Red Pill podcast.[1]

Haymes served as a co-pastor of SOMA Venice, a church within the SOMA church network, from 2020 to 2023. He helped plant the congregation in March 2020,[2] but as he and the other pastors became Reformed and postmillennial, they decided to close the church.[3] Haymes then moved to Nashville and became a pastoral intern at Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a congregation in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. He now works full-time in media and content creation.[4]

Haymes is an advocate of sphere sovereignty and Christian patriarchy.[5][6] He is an enthusiastic supporter of United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is a member of his church.[6] According to Jason Wilson, writing for The Guardian, Haymes subscribes to the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.[4]
