In this episode of Biblical Anarchy, Jacob Winograd unpacks a provocative question: why do many Christians fixate on sexual immorality—like drag shows and pornography—while giving a pass to the far greater evils of state-sanctioned violence, unjust wars, and economic destruction? Reflecting on a recent controversy involving journalist Glenn Greenwald, Jacob challenges the Christian right's disproportionate outrage and argues for a biblically faithful hierarchy of sin that prioritizes justice, peace, and human dignity. Drawing from Genesis, Romans 13, and libertarian political theory, he emphasizes that not all sins are equal in consequence, and that the Church must recenter its ethical focus.Jacob explores how empire, war, fiat currency, and welfare dependency are more destructive to God's design for society than the private sins often targeted by culture warriors. He examines the etymology and meaning of “degeneracy,” critiques Andrew Wilson's response to Greenwald, and proposes a better framework for Christian moral outrage—one rooted in the gospel, ordered liberty, and proper spheres of authority. Whether you're a libertarian Christian or a skeptical traditionalist, this episode invites you to reexamine what truly threatens human flourishing.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode, host Doug Stuart is joined by Jim Babka and Jacob Winograd for a lively conversation that moves beyond the oversimplified "open versus closed borders" debate. Together, they reflect on the recent Soho Forum clash between Dave Smith and Alex Nowrasteh, dissect how libertarians can approach immigration theory and policy, and discuss the implications for Christians invested in political discourse. From philosophical foundations like property rights and voluntarism to real-world concerns about the state's role, cultural effects, and compassion for individuals, this episode steers away from talking points towards practical and principled engagement.Whether you're a seasoned libertarian, curious Christian, or someone passionate about how faith and liberty intersect in today's world, this episode will challenge your assumptions and equip you for deeper conversations about justice, borders, and what it means to truly respect the humanity of others people.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
I was honored to (and surprised) to be asked as a guest on Jacob Winograd's show The LCI Green Room over at the Libertarian Christian Institute to talk about the “Grill Pill”—a mindset that's all about stepping back from the chaos of national politics to focus on what really matters: faith, family, community, and yes, sometimes literally grilling. He and I unpack the emotional toll of constant political engagement, why many of us are disillusioned with activism, and how to reorder our lives around what God has actually called us to. We talk about libertarianism, Christian cultural engagement, and the dangers of making politics an idol. This one's honest, raw, and full of hard-won wisdom. Hope it helps you recalibrate.

In this bonus episode of Biblical Anarchy, host Jacob Winograd re-releases a recent livestream from the LCI Greenroom featuring Chris Spangle, founder of the We Are Libertarians podcast network. As tensions rise with Iran and the world inches closer to another war, the conversation explores a provocative question: What if the most rational response to empire isn't to vote harder, but to opt out entirely? Enter the grill pill—a growing mindset that suggests true resistance to tyranny begins by focusing on faith, family, localism, and sanity.Together, Winograd and Spangle discuss the emotional, spiritual, and practical toll of national politics, the illusion of top-down solutions, and why humble stewardship may be more impactful than partisan combat. They cover burnout, Ron Paul, audience capture, political idolatry, Kuyper's sphere sovereignty, and how Christians can rediscover their calling in a collapsing culture. Raw, reflective, and deeply relevant—this conversation asks whether it's time to stop chasing political power and simply... Make America Grill Again.

Christian anarchism used to be a fringe idea—even within libertarian and Christian circles. But something has changed. In this special 100th episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd reflects on the journey from the early Daniel 3 Podcast days to now, and how the word "anarchy" went from being controversial to central.Joined by returning guest and LCI colleague Cody Cook, they unpack what's changed in the movement, what they've learned over 100 episodes, and why Christian anarchy is finally having its moment. From the problem of evil to the future of liberty in the church, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
This is a cleaned-up version of what we thought was a really useful unedited conversation on the Biblical Anarchy Podcast.In it, Jacob Winograd sat down with Cody Cook to wrestle with some uncomfortable questions facing the liberty movement today. We talked about the rise of identity politics—not just on the left, but increasingly on the right—and whether libertarianism can offer a true alternative or if it's being co-opted by tribal instincts and reactionary impulses. Using Jeff Deist's controversial “blood and soil” quote as a starting point, we explore how freedom of association intersects with issues of nationalism, racism, and open borders.Can liberty thrive in a society fragmenting along cultural and tribal lines? Is decentralization enough, or do we need a shared moral foundation to preserve peace and voluntary cooperation? We reflect on Rothbard's Nations by Consent, the Christian nationalist temptation, and whether becoming a republic again is a prerequisite to building a voluntaryist future. It's a challenging but necessary conversation on where liberty and principle must stand in a world increasingly defined by group identity.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd takes aim at James Lindsay's recent comments on Israel's war in Gaza and challenges him for doing the very thing he criticizes in others: abandoning principle for political tribe. While Lindsay often warns about the “woke right” using moral language to mask power grabs, Jacob argues that Lindsay falls into the same trap when he demands moral clarity from Hamas but gives Israel a pass. That's not justice—it's moral convenience.Drawing from the historic Christian tradition of Just War Theory, Jacob lays out what a truly consistent application looks like: one that measures all sides—friend or enemy—by the same standards. He defends Israel's right to self-defense, but insists that Christians must not confuse vengeance for virtue. This is a call to reject tribalism, to stop weaponizing theology, and to remember that justice without consistency isn't justice at all.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
In this deeply personal and theologically grounded solo episode, Jacob Winograd explores the question: Why do Christian libertarians—and Christians more broadly—need to talk about Israel? With a fusion of political analysis, historical context, and biblical exegesis, Jacob challenges the theological assumptions that undergird modern Christian Zionism. Drawing from Romans 9–11, Galatians 3–4, and Hebrews 11–12, he argues that the gospel centers not on ethnic identity or nationalistic promises, but on faith in Christ and the establishment of one covenant people of God.Jacob also dives into the foreign policy consequences of Zionist theology, connecting neoconservative ideology to American interventions in the Middle East. Referencing Scott Horton's Enough Already, the "A Clean Break" memo, and General Wesley Clark's revelations, he reveals how Israel's geopolitical influence—propped up by distorted theology—has helped catalyze war, empire, and immense human suffering. The episode ends with a call to realign our theology with the gospel of peace and justice through faith, not blood or borders.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
One year after stepping into the Crucible debate stage with Andrew Wilson, Jacob Winograd returns to reflect — not to rehash, but to reckon. In this episode, Jacob candidly unpacks what he got right, where he fumbled, and how his thinking has evolved since going toe-to-toe with one of Christian Nationalism's most articulate defenders. From the limits of civil government to the dangers of state-enforced virtue, this is a raw, thoughtful look at how debate, even in defeat, can sharpen conviction.But this episode is more than a post-mortem — it's a call to action. Jacob exposes the philosophical and theological inconsistencies in Christian Nationalist thought, from its misuse of coercive power to its dangerous flirtations with tribalism and cultural Christianity. Drawing on Scripture, economic reasoning, and his own spiritual growth, he makes the case for a better way: one rooted not in the sword of Caesar, but in the upside-down kingdom of Christ. Whether you're skeptical of libertarianism or disillusioned with reactionary populism, this reflection is a must-listen.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd dives deep into the controversial conversations sparked by historian Daryl Cooper, particularly around World War II, Churchill, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Jacob opens with a gripping monologue inspired by Cooper's Martyr Made series that humanizes the Palestinian perspective and challenges listeners to ask, “What would you do?” From there, he explores how myths about WWII and unquestioned narratives shape modern foreign policy and collective moral frameworks.Through a critical examination of Allied decision-making, Churchill's role, and missed opportunities to prevent genocide, Jacob makes the case that blind allegiance to national mythology distorts both our understanding of history and our response to present conflicts. Drawing parallels between 1930s Germany and modern disenfranchisement in the West, he highlights the importance of empathy, repentance, and Christlike love — even toward our enemies — as the true path to peace and justice.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
In this compelling episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd delves into Murray Rothbard's critical examination of the pervasive myth that "we are the government." By reading and reflecting on a poignant excerpt from Rothbard's Anatomy of the State, Jacob challenges the notion that democratic participation equates to moral complicity in government actions.Jacob articulates that casting a vote does not grant ownership over governmental institutions like the IRS, the Pentagon, or law enforcement agencies. He emphasizes that moral truths remain constant regardless of majority opinion—highlighting that actions such as theft and murder do not become justifiable through democratic processes. Drawing from biblical principles, he underscores that rulers are meant to be ministers of justice, not deities appointed by popular vote, and reminds listeners that Christians are citizens of God's Kingdom, not merely subjects of earthly governments.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd continues addressing common objections to Christian libertarianism and anarchism. Picking up from a previous installment, Jacob works through a rapid-fire list of objections related to economics, justice, civil governance, and societal concerns. Drawing from biblical principles, covenant theology, and libertarian ethics, Jacob refutes ideas that anarchism inevitably leads to lawlessness, exploitation, or neglect of the poor. He emphasizes that many of these criticisms unfairly compare an idealized state to a skeptical view of liberty, rather than assessing both systems with equal scrutiny.Jacob tackles familiar refrains like "Who will build the roads?" and "Render unto Caesar," challenging listeners to rethink their assumptions about the state's role in justice, economics, and morality. He advocates for voluntary systems of law, dispute resolution, and mutual aid, all grounded in a Christian ethic of non-aggression, proportional justice, and care for the vulnerable. Jacob also outlines how Christians can engage culture and politics without compromising biblical convictions, making this a compelling follow-up to his earlier episodes on biblical anarchy.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd welcomes fellow LCI podcaster and author Cody Cook to discuss Cody's new book The Anarchist Anabaptist. The conversation dives deep into the theological and philosophical underpinnings of Christian anarchism, exploring how the Anabaptist tradition—known for its radical pacifism and voluntary community life—aligns and occasionally diverges from libertarian political theory. The duo also reflects on the Reformed tradition's evolution in relation to state power, religious liberty, and covenant theology.Throughout the episode, Jacob and Cody explore key tensions: the individualism of libertarianism vs. the communal ethic of Anabaptism, the moral basis for nonviolence, and how different traditions approach Romans 13. Cody explains how the Anabaptist theological framework not only anticipated many classical liberal ideas but may offer more organic theological resources for a libertarian worldview. The episode concludes with a fun and insightful rapid-fire Q&A, revealing shared values, respectful disagreements, and a mutual desire to point Christians toward liberty and away from coercive power.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.
In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd takes on a unique challenge—answering AI-generated objections to biblical anarchy and Christian libertarianism in rapid-fire succession. Covering topics such as Romans 13, Old Testament kings, just war theory, and national defense, Jacob critically examines common objections to the idea that Christians can embrace a society free from coercive government. Through theological reasoning and historical examples, he argues that biblical anarchy aligns with Christian principles of justice, proportionality, and voluntary cooperation.Jacob also explores how central planning and state intervention often exacerbate sin and injustice rather than curbing them.

In this solo episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd shares his personal journey to becoming a libertarian anarchist. Reflecting on his political and spiritual evolution, Jacob discusses how growing up in a conservative household, early exposure to mainstream political narratives, and critical high school experiences planted the seeds of skepticism towards government authority. He recounts his shift from conservative views to leftist politics during the Bernie Sanders era, ultimately leading to disillusionment with the left's focus on identity politics. This period of political homelessness opened the door to libertarian ideas, fueled by YouTube debates, podcasts, and local Mises Caucus meetups. Jacob highlights pivotal moments, like questioning the morality of taxation and the ethics of government authority, leading to his adoption of anarcho-capitalism. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of universal morality, free markets, and the biblical call to peace and human flourishing.In this episode, Jacob aims to bridge personal testimony with philosophical exploration, showing how his Christian faith and libertarian values align in advocating for a peaceful, cooperative society free from coercive state control. He invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys and engage in discussions about faith, politics, and freedom.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode, host Jacob Winograd tackles a frequent critique of anarchism and libertarianism: the claim that these systems lead to societal degeneracy and moral decline. He begins by contextualizing the argument with a recent debate on Christian nationalism and a criticism of anarchism shared on Twitter/X. Jacob dismantles the idea that liberty inherently promotes degeneracy, arguing instead that historical and biblical evidence shows how state power often exacerbates moral decay. Drawing from libertarian theory, Christian theology, and thinkers like Hans Hermann Hoppe, Jacob asserts that true solutions to sin and societal improvement lie not in coercive governance but in the transformative power of the Gospel and voluntary cooperation.Jacob also explores related themes, including how politics is influenced by culture, the limits of state power in addressing moral issues, and why Christian efforts should focus on spreading the Gospel rather than relying on the state to enforce morality. The episode ends with a call to embrace biblical principles and libertarian ethics as tools to promote genuine societal change.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd responds to a video by Redeemed Zoomer, utilizing various clips to dissect and debate Redeemed Zoomer's perspectives on Christian political involvement, the separation of church and state, and the concept of Christian nationalism. Jacob, while not being himself Presbyterian, is influenced by reformed theology. He engages with Redeemed Zoomer's ideal of Presbyterian political theology, which advocates for moral influence over secular governance through a "two kingdoms" framework. While Jacob appreciates certain theological insights, he challenges the idea that nations should collectively submit to Christ and critiques the historical Presbyterian notion of a Christian state, arguing for a distinction between civil governance and coercive enforcement of religious beliefs.Throughout the episode, Jacob delves into the historical debate within reformed traditions over establishmentarianism, referring to the 1700s American Presbytery's revision of the Westminster Confession to reject civil government enforcing religious principles. He emphasizes the necessity of Christians being politically engaged without enforcing Christianity on others, advocating for civil justice influenced by Christian ethics without resorting to theonomy. By comparing different governance structures and exploring biblical prescriptions, Jacob positions his argument within a Christian libertarian framework, promoting voluntaryism as a non-coercive alternative better aligned with Christian values. The episode ultimately aims to clarify misconceptions and encourage further dialogue, positioning the Biblical Anarchy Podcast as a platform for thoughtful and historically informed discussions on the intersection of faith and politics.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd explores the idolatrous tendencies that can arise around election seasons and the importance of placing Christ above political allegiances. As the 2024 U.S. election approaches, Jacob discusses different Christian perspectives on voting, ranging from support for specific candidates like Donald Trump or Chase Oliver to the decision not to vote. Through the lens of Christian libertarianism, he challenges listeners to avoid anchoring their hope in political outcomes, highlighting that true transformation stems from the gospel rather than political power.Jacob encourages Christians to engage thoughtfully and respectfully in political discourse while remembering that, ultimately, Christ is King. Regardless of who wins, the task remains the same: live as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, grounded in faith, with a purpose that transcends national or political identities.

In this episode of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd explores the concept of Christ as King and how Christians should view and engage with earthly governments. Delving into Romans 13, Jacob emphasizes a biblical understanding that respects authority while critically examining its limits. He argues against eisegesis (the act of reading personal ideas into the scripture), advocating instead for a thorough exegesis, or drawing out of the text's true meaning. Jacob underscores the importance of loyalty to Christ's kingdom above all, suggesting that Christians can support government structures only to the extent that they align with God's moral decrees.Jacob discusses historical examples, such as the apostles' defiance of Roman laws that contradicted God's commands, and emphasizes the importance of resisting unjust authorities when they overstep biblical boundaries. He urges Christians to focus on what the Bible genuinely teaches about human authority, encouraging a thoughtful approach that keeps faith at the center of political involvement. Throughout the episode, he stresses that while governments are instituted by God, they are fallible and must not be blindly obeyed when their actions conflict with scriptural principles.Full Shownotes Here: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-80-christ-is-king-navigating-loyalty-in-a-depraved-secular-world/The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

This episode is a recent replay of a Greenroom conversation that I moderated between libertarian presidential nominee Chase Oliver and Jacob Winograd. We ask Chase about his campaign, what motivated him to run, and how he has travelled around the country spreading libertarian ideas.

In this episode of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd is joined by Clint Russell, host of Liberty Lockdown, to discuss pressing topics such as coalition-building in libertarian circles, global conflicts, and the influence of figures like Donald Trump, Russell Brand, and Jordan Peterson. They delve into the challenges libertarians face when working with other political movements, focusing on the concept of a “Jonah Complex,” which reflects a reluctance to embrace change or success. Clint emphasizes that coalition-building, despite ideological differences, is essential for achieving real progress in liberty.The conversation also covers faith and public figures, examining the backlash against Russell Brand's redemption story and the complexity of Jordan Peterson's role in modern discourse. Jacob and Clint explore how purity testing within both libertarian and Christian circles can hinder progress, and they stress the importance of focusing on common goals. The episode concludes with reflections on the dangers of binary thinking, political pragmatism, and the need for libertarians to work within coalitions, even with imperfect allies, to avoid isolation and ineffectiveness.Full Shownotes: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-79-rescue-the-republic-discussing-redemption-and-purity-testing-with-clint-russell/The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

This episode is a discussion that I had with Dave Casey (host of Dave vs Goliath Podcast), moderated by Jacob Winograd, about whether libertarians should for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. I made the case that libertarians should vote for Chase Oliver, and Dave made the case that libertarians should vote for Trump. Dave offered a thoughtful and realistic presentation of why it makes sense for libertarians to vote for Trump without excusing his record, why no libertarian should support Harris, and why he has problems with the Chase Oliver campaign. Since I explained my thoughts last episode (157) about why I believe Christian libertarians should not vote for Trump, I wanted to present a rational alternative view to my position. Dave's reasons for supporting Trump are entirely logical, and I hope that presenting the other side of this conversation will help you think about the consequences of this election and help explain why many libertarians are choosing to vote for Trump. Make sure you give Dave Casey a follow!

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd delves into the foreshadowings of Christ within the Mosaic Covenant and how the monarchy of Israel points to a need for a greater kingdom than that of David or any earthly ruler. Jacob revisits Old Testament passages, including those in the Torah, Psalms, and prophetic books, to demonstrate the continuity of God's covenantal promises. He emphasizes how Jesus fulfills these promises in ways that go beyond physical land or earthly power, arguing for a spiritual kingdom that transcends the literalist interpretations often applied to such scriptures.Jacob discusses topics such as the eternal nature of Christ's kingdom, the internal transformation promised in the New Covenant, and how Christ's reign subverts traditional expectations of earthly rule. He explores interpretations from early church fathers like Augustine and modern theologians, connecting Old Testament prophecies to the New Testament reality of Christ's kingship. As the episode progresses, Jacob addresses contemporary misunderstandings of eschatology and the dangers of using scripture to justify modern political ambitions or conflicts.Full Episode Shownotes: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-77-the-mosaic-covenant-meaning-how-jesus-is-greater-than-moses-and-david/The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd reflects on a previous episode in which he unintentionally misattributed a quote to Athanasius. He uses this mistake as an opportunity to delve deeper into the writings and theology of Athanasius, focusing on how his views align with Jacob's ongoing discussion of the New Covenant and the Messianic Kingdom. Athanasius, a key defender of Nicene theology, is portrayed as a fiery and passionate theologian, particularly in his works like On the Incarnation. Jacob highlights Athanasius' view that Christ's reign transcends the earthly kingship of Israel, emphasizing that Christ's kingdom is spiritual and eternal, fulfilling prophecies like Isaiah 9.Jacob spends much of the episode connecting Athanasius' theological insights to Old Testament prophecies and the new covenant, drawing comparisons between the reigns of Israel's kings and the superior, everlasting kingship of Christ. He encourages listeners to understand Christ's kingdom not as a physical or political entity but as a divine reign that brings peace and salvation to all nations. Jacob also invites his audience to reflect on how these theological truths shape our understanding of the gospel and Christian life, urging them to live out their faith as part of God's Kingdom.On the Incarnation by Athanasius: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/athanasius/On%20the%20Incarnation%20-%20Athanasius.pdfThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd explores eschatology, Old Testament prophecy, and covenant theology. Jacob delves into how the Old Testament passages foreshadow the New Covenant and the messianic reign of Christ. He emphasizes the fulfillment hermeneutic, which sees Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of these prophecies. By examining key passages from Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Joel, Jacob explains how the messianic kingdom is characterized by spiritual transformation rather than a physical, coercive rule.Jacob also discusses the role of Christians in the current era, highlighting the importance of focusing on internal spiritual renewal through the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on external pressures or political power to enforce righteousness. He challenges common interpretations of eschatological passages that suggest a future physical reign of Christ, advocating instead for an understanding rooted in the internal and spiritual nature of the New Covenant.Full Shownotes at https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-75-what-kind-of-kingdom-did-the-old-testament-prophets-foresee-earthly-or-spiritual/Additional Resources:Title: The Transformative Power of the Gospel in SocietySummary: This episode explores how the gospel transforms culture and society, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant era.Link: http://biblicalanarchypodcast.com/episode/transformative-gospelTitle: Covenant Theology and Christian EthicsSummary: Dive deeper into covenant theology and its implications for modern Christian living and political engagement.Link: http://libertarianchristians.com/podcast/covenant-theology-ethicsTitle: Understanding the Continuity of the CovenantsSummary: A comprehensive discussion on the relationship between the Old and New Covenants, and how they shape our understanding of the Bible.Link: http://libertarianchristians.com/episode/continuity-covenantsThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode of the "Biblical Anarchy Podcast," host Jacob Winograd dives deep into the theological discussions surrounding eschatology and covenant theology. He revisits themes from earlier episodes, particularly focusing on how different eschatological views—amillennialism, postmillennialism, and premillennialism—interpret biblical prophecy. Jacob offers a detailed critique of these perspectives, with a special emphasis on Zechariah 14, contrasting a literalist approach with a fulfillment hermeneutic. He argues that a proper understanding of eschatology should integrate with Christology and covenant theology, providing a unified view of God's redemptive plan.Jacob further explores the implications of these theological views for Christian living, highlighting the dangers of both overemphasizing human effort in postmillennialism and neglecting present spiritual realities in premillennialism. He advocates for an amillennial perspective that sees the Kingdom of God as a current, spiritual reign rather than a future, physical dominion. The episode encourages believers to understand and live out their role in God's Kingdom today, aligning their faith with the comprehensive narrative of Scripture.Additional Resources:Check out the episode page for extended show notes and resources HEREThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode, I present a conversation that I had with Jacob Winograd, host of the Biblical Anarchy podcast, about Biblical Inerrancy. This took place on his previous show, the Daniel 3 podcast. As I clarified my positions on Protestantism, the creeds, and inerrancy in the previous episode (146, available everywhere), I thought that this conversation would help highlight my position on Biblical inerrancy and further clarify my previous statements on the subject. Jacob and I both believe in the authority of scripture, and we discuss why he prefers to retain the language of ‘inerrancy' while I prefer the terms ‘authority' and ‘reliability'. Our perspectives on Biblical interpretation are remarkably similar, and I hope that this helps demonstrate how a conversation between two Christians that have similar views can lead to a fruitful and productive dialogue which sheds light on important theological issues.

In this episode I revisit three of my most controversial episodes (5, 19, and 57) that discussed the creeds of the Christian church and Biblical inerrancy. Most of the negative feedback from my show has been generated by these two episodes, and I wanted to revisit them one more time to clear up any potential misunderstandings. First, I explain how the common denominator among all protestants is the belief in the authority of scripture and why that should shape our understanding of the creeds and Biblical inerrancy. I then explain how I agree with every statement of the Apostle's Creed and discuss the importance of creeds in general while showing that the creeds are incomplete because, understandably, there are many important aspects of the Biblical witness that can't be fit into a short summary statement of important beliefs. I discuss how creedalism can sometimes screen out the teachings of Jesus, Christian ethics, and discipleship generally because they address mostly doctrinal statements, and that we need to understand the creeds within the larger framework of scripture so we don't neglect other essential aspects of our faith. I then turn once again to Biblical inerrancy, showing how it has been misappropriated by fundamentalists, progressives, and skeptics and used in ways that undermine the authority of scripture and cause interpreters to unjustifiably impose modern ideas about science and history back into the text. I also explain how defenders of the Chicago Statement, such as R.C. Sproul, have a hermeneutical method that is nearly identical to my own, and why retaining the language of ‘inerrancy' can work if it is carefully defined. I then explain why I prefer the terms ‘authority' and ‘reliability' over ‘inerrancy' while acknowledging that many people I know who hold to ‘inerrancy' are in complete agreement with me on the way in which the Bible ought to be interpreted. I hope this episode helps clarify my position on these important issues!

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd engages in a deep and challenging conversation with Michael Leibowitz, an objectivist libertarian and atheist. The discussion explores the philosophical tensions between Christian libertarianism and objectivism, particularly focusing on whether Christianity can provide a moral and philosophical foundation for a free society. Michael, drawing from Ayn Rand's philosophy, argues that objectivism's emphasis on reason, self-interest, and capitalism is better suited for individual liberty and societal prosperity. Jacob counters by defending the compatibility of Christian teachings with free-market principles, highlighting how biblical values can support and enhance the pursuit of a free society.The conversation covers a broad range of topics, including the interpretation of key biblical passages related to wealth, property, and humility, and whether these teachings are at odds with the principles of capitalism. Jacob and Michael also delve into the role of government, authority, and personal responsibility in both Christian and objectivist thought, providing listeners with a nuanced and thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of faith and political philosophy.The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy podcast, host Jacob Winograd sits down with economist and libertarian theorist Bob Murphy for an enlightening discussion on a wide range of topics. Bob, a senior fellow at the Mises Institute and host of the 'Bob Murphy Show,' offers his insights on the philosophical and practical foundations of libertarianism. The conversation covers recent debates between prominent libertarians and critiques from opposing viewpoints, delving into the role of the non-aggression principle, the importance of community and church in maintaining societal norms, and the limitations of state interventions in addressing moral and economic issues.A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to exploring the benefits of free market solutions over state-run systems, particularly in the context of licensing and regulation. Bob argues that many perceived failures of the free market are, in fact, caused by state interference, which often leads to monopolies and stifles innovation. He explains how a decentralized, competitive approach to licensing could improve quality and accountability in various industries, reducing the risks associated with monopolistic state control. This episode provides a thought-provoking exploration of how free market principles can be applied to create more ethical and efficient societal structures.The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.
