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.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd sits down with RT Hadley, a 20-year Air Force veteran turned Christian writer, to wrestle with the difficult question: Has the United States ever fought a truly just war? Drawing from Hadley's military service in Iraq, his spiritual reflections, and his studies on just war theory, the two explore how patriotism, faith, and war collide in the American story. Together they consider the church's entanglement with empire, the writings of Augustine and Aquinas, and how Christians today can faithfully engage politics without compromising spiritual integrity.The conversation traces Hadley's personal journey from neoconservatism to libertarian anti-interventionism, examining the moral weight of war through the lens of both history and Scripture. Topics include the Revolutionary War, America's modern interventions, Christian nationalism, and the enduring call of Christ to love neighbor and enemy alike. This dialogue is both challenging and pastoral, calling believers to discern where loyalty to Caesar ends and faithfulness to Christ begins.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.

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.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd sits down with returning guest Kerry Baldwin to take on a question many Christians wrestle with: if people are sinful, doesn't that mean we need the state? Drawing on Baldwin's long-standing work on the plausibility of stateless civil governance, the two tackle this objection head-on and show why handing unchecked power to sinners creates even greater injustice.Their conversation digs into John Locke's classic arguments for monopolistic civil government (the State) and turns them on their head, showing how impartial judges, clear laws, and effective enforcement actually point toward a polycentric order rather than a state monopoly. Along the way, they revisit the biblical principle of sphere sovereignty, explore how justice works in practice without centralized control, and push back on the idea that the state is inevitable. The discussion closes with practical reflections for Christians and libertarians on how to live out these principles now—through entrepreneurship, grassroots action, and faith in Christ's ultimate kingship.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.

Nick Gillespie joins Doug Stuart to trace his path from Catholic kid in an immigrant family to a postmodern libertarian—and why that journey made him bullish on freedom of movement and a more “mongrel” America. We talk through the Ellis Island frame for sane, humane immigration, why “build a wall around the welfare state” is the sharper rejoinder, and how Catholic parish life (and Roger Williams) shaped Nick's instinct for pluralism and tolerance.We also unpack what he means by “postmodern libertarianism” in plain terms: be humble about what we can know, be wary of top-down fixes, and trust bottom-up problem-solving. Hayek meets Foucault without the jargon. From there we hit the “paradox of choice” debate (yes, 45 deodorants can be a feature), how pop culture shapes the way people find meaning, and where the liberty movement is actually headed right now.In this episode:Immigration as freedom to move and belongEllis Island as a practical path to legal, open channels“Wall off the welfare state,” not the countryCatholic roots, Roger Williams, and the case for pluralismPostmodern libertarianism without the buzzwordsChoice vs. control, and learning to satisficeThe current liberty landscape: what's breaking, what's buildingShow Notes:Find Nick on ReasonAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Jacob Winograd explores why libertarianism—when grounded in Scripture—is more than a political theory; it's a means of living out Christian faith with integrity. He connects biblical principles of stewardship, justice, and mercy to the way we think about law, economics, and the use of power, showing how liberty reflects the ethics of Christ in every sphere of life.Drawing from Scripture, Austrian economic insights, and a consistent application of proportional justice, Jacob presents three reasons liberty matters for Christians: it fosters faithful stewardship of God's creation and resources, it equips believers to balance justice and mercy without coercion, and it demands alignment between our private convictions and public actions. From there, Jacob challenges the mindset that government power can solve moral problems—exposing how state overreach, central economic control, and the criminalization of sin distort both justice and the gospel. He urges Christians to reject domination in all its forms and to live out the self-governance, accountability, and love for neighbor that mark the kingdom of God.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.

Cody Cook sits down with Jacob Winograd, host of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, and Chris Todd, a missionary in the Middle East, to discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict through a Christian lens. Todd shares his work providing trauma therapy to war-affected individuals in Lebanon, highlighting the human toll of conflict. The trio critiques the evangelical tendency to unconditionally support Israel, with Todd emphasizing a "Team Jesus" approach that advocates for peace over violence. They explore historical and ongoing violence, referencing Israel's actions since 1948 and the blowback it has incited. Theologically, they contrast dispensationalism, which ties support for Israel to end-times prophecy, with covenant theology, which sees God's promises fulfilled in Christ. Addressing rising anti-Semitism, they stress disentangling Jewish identity from Israel's policies to foster peace and reduce prejudice.Chris' work with Words of Isa can be found here: https://www.wordsofisa.comAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Is immigration chaos at the border a failure of libertarian ideals—or government itself? Host Doug Stuart is joined by Alex Nowrasteh, Vice President for Economic and Social Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, to tackle the heated issues around immigration policy and American history. Fresh off his Soho Forum debate with Dave Smith, Alex reflects on why the immigration conversation keeps evolving, how Congress uses “hearings” more as political theater than for honest dialogue, and what actually went wrong during the Biden administration's approach to immigration and border security.Doug and Alex dive deep into the shifts over the past decade in how Americans (especially conservatives and libertarians) perceive legal and illegal immigration, and whether the “open borders” label is even useful. They explore how the welfare of global citizens fits—or doesn't fit—into Christian and libertarian arguments, the nuances of rhetoric vs. principle, and how immigration intersects with everything from labor unions to the welfare state.Alex candidly addresses the most common libertarian objections—from welfare and roads to claims about immigrants' voting patterns and threats to freedom—and even steel-mans the best arguments against liberalizing migration.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
