This episode is a special remastered replay of Doug Stuart's appearance on Gracearchy with Jim Babka. Join Doug Stuart, Jim Babka, and Bill Protzmann for a dynamic discussion on Christian libertarianism and the role faith plays in political thought.Doug unpacks what it means for him to head up content at LCI, how the Institute seeks to make the Christian case for a free society, and what the world might look like if their mission were fully realized. The conversation dives deep into topics like the biblical roots of freedom, why “Jesus is Lord and Caesar is not” is such a powerful political and spiritual statement, and how LCI champions an ecumenical approach spanning denominations from Anabaptist to Reformed.Doug also opens up about his personal faith journey—from growing up in a conservative Baptist home, to wrestling with questions about Christian nationalism, to finding coherence in libertarian thought. He shares inside stories about LCI's recent projects, including new book releases and their podcast/media expansion, as well as reflections on why free speech, principled pacifism, and creative, peaceful problem-solving are essential for Christians engaging society.If you're interested in the intersection of liberty, faith, and public engagement—or you're just curious about why more Christians could mean more peace (not more war!)—this open and honest conversation is for you.Show highlights include:What it means to be a Christian libertarian—with concrete examples from early Christianity to modern AmericaHow LCI is building bridges across traditions, and why ecumenical outreach mattersDoug's candid takes on Christian left and right, pacifism vs. statism, and the “kingdom way” of nonviolent creativityBehind the scenes on LCI's new books and media projects, plus how you can get involvedDon't miss this replay of a thoughtful, timely discussion that's just as relevant for Libertarian Christian Podcast listeners as it was for Gracearchy's audience!Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode #3, How Downsize DC is restoring your property rights vis-a-vis the Fourth Amendment. Also, analysis of why John Bolton would be a dangerous appointment to the Trump administration. Finally, Howard asks whether or not libertarians are isolationists, and Jim comes back with a surprising perspective that demonstrates how libertarians can actually be interventionists! SHOW NOTES: 1:45 – The Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. 2:22 – The “reasonable expectation of privacy” is a subjective standard. How this interpretation of the Fourth Amendment has been failing us in the 21st Century. 4:25 – Is there an objective method of interpreting the Fourth Amendment that will serve us better? 6:10 – In what case did Downsize DC file an amicus brief, arguing for the restoration of property rights as the key interpretive method of the Fourth Amendment — and won? https://downsizedc.org/the-unique-role-youre-playing-in-the-supreme-court/ & https://downsizedc.org/you-won-in-the-supreme-court/ 8:55 – Are fishing expeditions, for evidence, permitted by the Fourth Amendment? 9:51 – Why one landmark decision is not enough. 11:37 – Where does DownsizeDC want to see the courts go? Resurrecting the “mere evidence rule.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_evidence_rule 14:19 – DownsizeDC filed a brief in the Ross Ulbricht/Silk Road case. https://downsizedc.org/silk-road-amicus/ 14:44 – DownsizeDC is filing a new brief protecting your email from warrantless search. What is the Ackerman case and why is it important? https://downsizedc.org/ackerman-appeals-court/ 18:04 – The role Justice Neil Gorsuch played in this case, or how he agrees with Downsize DC. https://downsizedc.org/new-justice-gorsuch-already-ruled-in-favor-of-our-argument/ 18:55 – Learn more about our proposed Ackerman amicus brief https://downsizedc.org/ackerman-appeals-court/ 19:27 – Neo-John Bolton is rumored to be a candidate for National Security Advisor to the President. We analyze some elements of a Tucker Carlson, Fox News interview with Bolton. 19:54 – Jim Babka takes Bolton’s challenge and demonstrates how the problems in Iraq are “inevitably” and “unalterably” a result of the decision to overthrow Saddam. http://www.truthaboutwar.org/ 22:53 – How John Bolton disagrees with Ronald Reagan about Iraq’s role as a counterbalance to Iran – 0h, and a Bolton lie about Iran exposed. 27:42 – John Bolton is wrong: Why the fall of Saddam is THE THING that made Iran stronger in the region. 29:24 – What is the one, WRONG lesson that John Bolton sees coming out of the Iraq war? 31:05 – Tell President Trump to reject John Bolton. https://downsizedc.org/tell-trump-reject-john-bolton 32:43 -Why John Bolton and John McCain are the real “isolationists” (and libertarians aren’t) 35:13 – How, surprisingly, libertarians can be “interventionists!” Further reading: Does the common definition of isolationism make sense? https://www.zeroaggressionproject.org/mental-lever/statist-isolationism/ Why Non-Interventionism is NOT sufficient https://downsizedc.org/non-interventionism-not-sufficient

Whether it's nonintervention abroad, or Social Security, or WikiLeaks, or Iran, or the Department of Homeland Security, or the drug war, libertarians don't quite fit in to the official "conservative movement." Jim Babka, who emphasizes these very issues, joins me to talk it all through. Plus, we discuss the great Harry Browne, an important and skilled communicator for our cause.
