Hosts Doug Stuart and Cody Cook have a lively exploration of movies and their deeper significance beyond mere entertainment. The conversation kicks off with playful banter about the differences—or pretensions—between the terms "film," "movie," and "cinema," before diving into their personal journeys into movie appreciation, including the influence of family, childhood favorites, and the allure of old TV comedies.As the discussion unfolds, Doug Stuart and Cody Cook tackle how movies clarify, challenge, and shape values, examining the artistic, message-driven, and thematic layers beneath the surface. They consider why storytelling is central to human experience and how films, like the Bible, can illuminate questions about morality, suffering, and meaning.The episode highlights how both Christian and libertarian themes can emerge from unlikely cinematic places. From the rich symbolism and messaging in blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Minority Report to the nuanced character dynamics in The Dark Knight trilogy, Cody Cook breaks down how central planning, redemption, forgiveness, and the problem of evil play out on the big screen. The conversation also covers cult classics, overlooked gems, genre preferences, and how personal references and pop culture literacy shape one's perspective on film.Listeners are invited to reconsider the films they love—not just as sources of entertainment, but as vehicles for reflection, values, and even theological conversation. Whether you're a cinephile, a casual watcher, or someone looking for libertarian or Christian undertones in your favorite movies, this episode is packed with recommendations, insight, and plenty of food for thought.Have a film that fits the libertarian or Christian mold? Doug Stuart and Cody Cook want to hear from you!

Protodeacon Patrick Mitchell returns to the show to discuss his new book, Christ as Truth and Truth as Christ. In this conversation, we explore what it truly means that Christ is Truth—not as a concept, not as a feeling, but as a living Person. Protodeacon Patrick helps us unpack the difference between objective truth and the modern world's obsession with "personal truth," showing how our understanding of Truth shapes everything from our love for others to our view of the world. We then examine the five great enemies of Truth: Gnosticism, Romanticism, Anarchism, Nihilism, and Tribalism, each of which distorts the human mind and heart in its own way. Along the way, we discuss the God of Israel and the temptation to make the self the measure of all things. This is a deep-dive into how Truth, rightly understood, leads us not into ideology or isolation, but into the life of Christ Himself.

Are you confused about libertarian talking points like cryptocurrency, gold standards, central banks, and fractional reserves? Mike Maharrey, a seasoned expert from Money Metals Exchange and the Tenth Amendment Center, joins us for our "Money for Dummies" episode. Mike helps Cody Cook (the perennial stand-in for monetary dummies) demystify complex economic concepts for everyday libertarians, tackling questions like: what is money, why did humans invent it, and where do banks come in? From the evolution of gold-backed currency to today's fiat system, Mike traces how governments and central banks, like the Federal Reserve, drive inflation by printing money unchecked—building a debt-fueled economy. Also: are trade deficits a bad thing? Can tariffs make a country rich? Should a gold standard or a competing market for money predominate?Tune in for a clear, engaging guide to understanding money's role in our economy, and why central planning fails.For more from Mike Maharrey, check out his work at moneymetals.com/news and listen to The Midweek Memo podcast.Other resources mentioned in this conversation:The Godarchy PodcastCarl Menger's The Origins of MoneyAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, I'm joined again by Mano Elia for a wide-ranging conversation on discernment, community, and the spiritual struggle of our time. We're not in an age where truth is hidden anymore; everything, from truth to lies, is out in the open. The real challenge is no longer finding information, but seeing clearly through it. What we face now isn't a war of disinformation; it's a war of discernment. Mano and I zoom out from the noise of world events to explore the deeper physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of our modern crisis. We discuss how evil reveals itself openly in today's culture, how digital life isolates us, and why the ultimate answer isn't political power or conspiracy-chasing, but a return to Christ, creativity, and tangible community. The conversation also challenges common misunderstandings about the so-called "black pill" mindset. While many look for salvation in politics or cultural battles, Mano and I argue that the only true white pill is Christ Himself.

Earlier this year I featured former Navy nuclear engineer Troy Broussard, one of whose companies powers the mobile apps at the Scott Horton Academy and my School of Life, and among other things we talked about his Low Stress Options program. Many hundreds of my listeners subsequently joined. I wound up writing an entire eBook about how well they did with it. And indeed so confident was I that they would prosper with it that I invited them all to my Christmas party this year with Troy as a special guest. What are the chances that I would invite a bunch of angry people who'd been screwed and who had lost money to come to my house -- where my children live -- for a party? That would be one awkward social engagement, would it not? Well, Troy is back to talk about the Fed, inflation, and the fact that we obviously all need to do something to protect ourselves, so what should that be?

This episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast welcomes Finlay Beach. Beach is the author of the Managed Paranoia series, a near-future Sci-Fi thriller series that weaves libertarian ideals and Christian values into a gripping narrative of a dystopian world shaped by an overreaching post-pandemic government. Beach shares how he balances his day job with his passion for fiction writing, emphasizing character-driven storytelling over preachy ideology. The conversation explores the power of fiction to subtly convey complex ideas, the danger of losing the story to a political agenda, and how libertarian creatives can effectively use their gifts--even if it means not quitting their day jobs. This episode is a must-listen for creatives seeking to blend conviction with compelling storytelling.Learn more about Finlay Beach's work at https://www.openthegift.com, download a free short story that ties into the series here, and buy his books on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4oAT2RxAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

He's back with us today to dig into the themes from his recent article, Is God an Antisemite? (on Orthodox Ethos). We get into what antisemitism actually means, the roots of Rabbinic Judaism, and how all of this connects to Christ and His Church — and what it all means for us today.

Doug Stuart welcomes Alex Bernardo—host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast—to unpack his book-in-progress on politics, economics, and New Testament interpretation. Alex argues that modern readers (and many New Testament scholars) import post-Enlightenment categories—“politics,” capitalism, socialism—into the first century and then draw conclusions the biblical writers never intended. His remedy starts before exegesis: nail down stable definitions and widen “politics” beyond elections to how humans relate, wield authority, and organize life together.They zero in on Luke–Acts. From Caesar's census pushing Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem to Paul proclaiming the kingdom “unhindered” in Rome, Luke traces the reign of the crucified, risen, and ascended Son of David. In that frame, the Gospel is unavoidably political—not because it tells you how to vote, but because Jesus already reigns. The early church engages authorities without revolutionary violence, trusting the Spirit's power while keeping allegiance to Christ above every rival.Bernardo outlines his method-first opening: concrete definitions of capitalism and socialism; a spectrum framed by liberty versus authority and violence versus nonviolence; and the needed context of Greco-Roman and Second Temple Jewish history. He previews work-by-work studies—Acts 2 and 4 on sharing, the rich young ruler, the widow's mites, Romans 13, and 1 Peter 2—and explains why academic readings often lean left: institutional incentives, limited engagement with primary economic sources, and reliance on secondhand caricatures of economists and traditions (e.g., Hayek, the Austrians). The conversation ranges into theology too: recovering Jesus's concrete Davidic kingship, refusing to sever messianic identity from divine ontology, and practicing interpretive humility that lets the text correct us. Expect a big, careful book (roughly 450–500 pages) that raises the bar for Christians who care about Scripture, history, economics, and real-world power—and a discussion that resists anachronism while inviting principled, peaceable political discipleship today.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Cody Cook welcomes to the show John Roth, a scholar of the Radical Reformation and former editor of the Mennonite Quarterly Review. John and Cody explore the enduring relevance of Anabaptism at its 500th anniversary, focusing on its emphases on community, nonviolence, decentralization, and stewardship. Roth also discusses the Anabaptist Community Bible, a unique project blending scholarly insights, historical voices, and lay reflections, inviting readers into a communal hermeneutic. The conversation delves into Anabaptist distinctives—like love for neighbor and rejection of coercive power. Roth also shares the inspiring story of Elsie Baumgartner, an early Anabaptist who cited Psalm 24:1 to challenge national borders, reflecting a theology of God's universal sovereignty. With humor and depth, they navigate the Anabaptist Community Bible's hermeneutical diversity, its artistic elements, and its call to participatory faith. Available at mennomedia.org or Amazon, this Bible offers a fresh lens for Christians seeking a decentralized, diverse, and Spirit-receptive approach to scripture.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Doug Stuart welcomes back James Whitford, founder of Watered Gardens and the True Charity Initiative, for an in-depth discussion on his new book, The Crisis of Dependency: How Our Efforts to Solve Poverty Are Trapping People in It, and What We Can Do to Foster Freedom Instead. James shares the journey from launching a small local ministry in Joplin, Missouri, to spearheading a national movement focused on transforming how we address poverty.Diving into the roots of toxic charity and the pitfalls of well-intended handouts, James explains how our charitable efforts often create cycles of dependency—rather than empowering those in need. He unpacks the principles of true charity: it should be privately funded, outcome-driven, and challenge-oriented, always respecting the dignity and agency of every individual.Doug and James also explore practical steps for compassionate, effective giving, the important role of relationships in overcoming poverty, and how churches and organizations can shift from relief-based to empowerment-based ministry. With references to Frédéric Bastiat, John Stuart Mill, and powerful personal anecdotes, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it means to truly help—and to foster real freedom in their communities.Crisis of Dependency Book Description:Millions in the U.S. are trapped in cycles of poverty due to well-meaning but misguided charitable models. In The Crisis of Dependency, James Whitford, Founder of Watered Gardens Ministries, shares how our compassion often perpetuates the very problems we aim to solve. Through personal stories, firsthand experience, and research, he reveals that handouts offer temporary relief but deepen dependency.James has worked for decades with those struggling with homelessness and poverty and after a brief stint of living on the streets, he recognized that what most people in poverty need isn't material aid alone, but a path to self-sufficiency. Inspired by thought leaders like Marvin Olasky and Robert D. Lupton, and drawing from his own ministry, Whitford reimagined charity as one that restores dignity through relationship and accountability. His work has transformed lives by helping individuals build the skills and mindset needed for long-term success.This book offers a blueprint for those who want to move beyond transactional charity. James invites readers to embrace approaches that challenge the status quo and cultivate meaningful, sustainable change in communities.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Mary Jo dives into one of the biggest mistakes she sees farmers and ranchers making—rushing to pay off debt at the expense of cash flow. She explains why keeping money liquid provides flexibility, freedom from the bank's control, and better long-term planning. Through real client stories, she shows how choosing liquidity over debt payoff can mean the difference between staying in business and being forced back to the bank. From operating notes to side-by-sides to land loans, Mary Jo breaks down how to think differently about utilizing money and why Infinite Banking is really about control, not just debt freedom.

Dive into the fiery world of free speech in this episode featuring Connor Murnane, Campus Advocacy Chief of Staff at FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression). Once focused solely on college campuses, FIRE expanded its mission in 2022 to champion free speech nationwide, tackling issues from K-12 book bans to citizen journalists' rights. Murnane recounts iconic cases like the “Water Buffalo” incident and a student's fight to distribute pocket Constitutions, exposing the absurdity of restrictive speech codes. Despite progress in campus policies, a troubling rise in student support for shout-downs and violence signals a cultural battle ahead. FIRE's nonpartisan stance navigates a polarized landscape, defending everyone from Trump supporters to Satanists while facing accusations of bias. With new books like The War On Words: 10 Arguments Against Free Speech—And Why They Fail arming readers against anti-speech arguments, FIRE remains a beacon for liberty. Tune in to uncover why free speech is the bedrock of a free society—and what's at stake if we lose it.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Mary Jo breaks down why multiple policies aren't just a nice-to-have—they're necessary if you want to grow real wealth, keep taxes off your back, and take back control from the banking system. From MEC limits to managing premiums, she lays out the blunt truth about when and how to start extra policies, what pitfalls to avoid, and why building your own banking system looks a lot like how the banks operate—with more branches, more deposits, and more control.

Wilk Wilkinson, host of Derate the Hate and Director of Media Systems and Operations at Braver Angels, joins host Cody Cook to talk about our polarized political climate and how to rise above it. Braver Angels is a cross-partisan grassroots movement that strives to bridge toxic partisan divides through civil dialogue and civic renewal. Wilkinson shares his journey from a “toxic keyboard warrior” to advocating for depolarized conversations, emphasizing that dialogue doesn't mean compromising core beliefs—like a libertarian's stance against state violence—but fosters understanding. Can you engage neo-Nazis or Klansmen? Wilkinson, friends with de-radicalization expert Daryl Davis, insists even the darkest minds can teach us something, preventing downstream harm. While fear-driven memes grab clicks, Braver Angels' love-based approach, though more challenging to scale, builds trust over outrage. Wilkinson's Derate the Hate podcast and BraverAngels.org invite you to join this patriotic movement to heal divides.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd takes the well-known Political Compass quiz and works through each question in real time. Instead of just clicking answers, he explains how a Christian libertarian frames the issues—separating what is sinful from what is criminal, exposing false choices, and keeping the focus on justice and neighbor-love rather than partisan labels. He also calls out the quiz's built-in assumptions, like the way it blurs economic freedom with political centralization or equates patriotism with blind loyalty to the state.Across the conversation, Jacob applies core principles like self-ownership and the non-aggression principle to a wide range of issues: free trade, abortion, war, the environment, drug laws, corporate power, and more. He emphasizes that government's job isn't to police all immorality but to protect against aggression, a distinction many political models miss. By the end, the results page matters less than the exercise itself—showing how Christians can think clearly about politics without getting trapped in the left-right binary or letting Caesar define the terms of the debate.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 re-run of an episode that was very powerful... so powerful it got deleted from YouTube. This is my wish to release it again to you and see if we can keep it up this time! Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me to go over the serious information that her team uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At dailyclout.io, she assembled a team of over 3,500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that information to be public. There was not incompetence on their part, but rather outright maliciousness. They knew the harmful effects and the wide variety of them and hid them from the public. We go through many of them in this short episode, and the end result is population decline, which appears to be a feature, not a bug. We get into all of this, along with issues of repentance, punishment, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, good vs. evil, and more.

In this episode, Mary Jo tackles the hidden dangers of life settlements and why they often hurt elderly policyholders more than help them.

Doug Stuart sits down with Jordan Bush—missionary, author, and Bitcoin advocate—for a deep dive into the intersections of sound money, faith, and global impact. Jordan shares his firsthand experiences as a missionary witnessing the economic collapse in Venezuela, which opened his eyes to the human cost of currency debasement and the urgent need for financial alternatives. Together, they unpack core questions around what makes Bitcoin "sound money," why its scarcity matters, and how it's being adopted by missionaries and nonprofits in challenging environments worldwide.Jordan explains why Bitcoin has a unique value proposition for Christians and liberty-minded individuals, making the moral and theological case for decentralized currency. The conversation weaves stories of hardship, hope, and practical tips for approaching Bitcoin—not as financial advice, but as an exploration of conviction and stewardship. Whether you're skeptical about digital currency, curious about its real-world uses, or already a believer, this episode sheds light on Bitcoin's potential to transform lives and societies.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

My guest this week is my friend Nina Morris, an Orthodox Christian and mother who grew up in the Texas foster care system. I had no idea about the kinds of experiments and challenges these children endured, but Nina lived through them, and she opens up about her experience in this episode. Despite attempts to break her spiritually and mentally, by the grace of God, she came through on the other side with strength and faith intact.

Stephan Kinsella was our guest to talk about "intellectual property," the concept that an individual's ideas belong to them and should be protected from free use by others through law. Stephan is a patent attorney and libertarian writer in Houston whose book Against Intellectual Property is the seminal work on this subject.

This week, Patrick Mitchell joins us to discuss the oft-discussed topic of the "Ortho-bros". Some use it in a humorous way, some as a pejorative, but whatever the case, there are a lot of zealous young men flocking to the Church. Are we to tame them? Shouldn't we be celebrating them? We get into a wonderful deep discussion on this issue.

If you're still judging what works based on what your neighbor did (or didn't do), this episode is for you. Mary Jo calls out the small-town mindset that keeps farmers stuck—from refusing to leave the county, to writing off ideas without understanding them. She dives into why it's dangerous to assume something "doesn't work" when you've never asked the right questions, never left your operation, and never learned what others across the country are doing differently. Whether it's grazing practices, estate planning, or Infinite Banking—it's time to stop sitting at the coffee shop and start expanding your thinking. Because if you want to grow, you've gotta go. Literally. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com 

Doug Stuart welcomes Elizabeth Nolan Brown—senior editor at Reason, author of the bi-weekly Sex and Tech newsletter, co-founder of Feminists for Liberty, and adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati. Together, they dive deep into the "MAHA" (Make America Healthy Again) movement, exploring its roots, cultural evolution, and increasing intersection with politics—particularly within libertarian and right-leaning circles.Doug and Liz discuss the personal journeys that led them to think more critically about health, food, and nutrition, and how public perceptions of "crunchy" or alternative health lifestyles have shifted across the political spectrum. The conversation touches on the elitism sometimes present in health movements, the pros and cons of government regulation (like banning food dyes or mandating certain foods), and how much of the MAHA movement aligns—or clashes—with libertarian ideals of personal responsibility, choice, and skepticism of state authority.With humorous anecdotes about picky eating, parenting, and label reading, as well as a lightning round on healthy habits and guilty pleasures, this episode offers a balanced, insightful, and fun look at the current state of American health culture—and why it matters for libertarians and non-libertarians alike.Whether you're health-curious, politically engaged, or simply enjoy smart, lively conversation, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes:Read Trad Wives and Tallow Fries: How the Wellness Wars Flipped Health and Food Politics Upside DownWatch From Big Gulps to Raw Milk: The Rise of MAHAAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

While we rarely dedicate an episode to a single movie, this film is a special exception. "El Tonto Por Cristo" is told through luminous vignettes, following a brotherhood of monks on the Texas Gulf as they strive for sainthood while grappling with their human struggles. Inspired by the ancient tradition of the Holy Fool and set within the quiet rhythms of monastic life, it stands as the first English-language Orthodox narrative feature of its kind. The film masterfully weaves Orthodox imagination into a transcendent meditation on holiness and humanity. We are incredibly blessed to have the film's writer and director, Josh Jordan, join us for this episode. We delve into his journey to Orthodoxy, his inspirations for the film, and much more.
