The Biblical Anarchy Podcast

In this episode, Jacob delves into the intersection of Christian theology and government actions. Through exploring the writings of influential Christian figures, distinctions between ecclesiastical and secular authority, and discussions on just war theory, social contract theory, and the idea of 2 kingdoms theology, Jacob challenges the notion of "national morality." He argues for the universal application of God's moral law, rejecting moral dualism and advocating for Christians to hold governments accountable using scripture and biblical principles.

Today I reflect on my recent, thought-provoking discussion with Stephen Wolfe, author of "The Case for Christian Nationalism," and my fellow LCI contributor, Alex Bernardo, host of the Protestant Libertarian podcast, where we discussed the complexities of Christian nationalism, libertarianism, and their interplay with biblical teachings and how Christians ought to live. I critique the ideas presented by both Wolfe and Bernardo, particularly focusing on the challenges of reconciling different Christian political perspectives, such as two-kingdom theory vs. the unified kingdom theory. I seek to find common ground while clarifying the differences that shape our respective views on governance, community, and the role of the state.

How does a Christian discern the fine line between faith and nationalism in the political realm? In Episode 59 of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, we explore the nuanced realm of Christian nationalism and its varying degrees. What is the proper role of the civil magistrate in law enforcement? How can governance exist without overstepping biblical principles? We delve into the complexities of executing laws and the potential misuse of force in areas like Sabbath laws, Blasphemy laws & etc. Can language camouflage the real intentions behind political movements, and how does this affect the call for individual accountability over collective judgment? Join us as we unravel the reality behind conservative rhetoric and examine controversies surrounding blasphemy, hate speech laws, and the appropriate use of force. Where does sincere Christian belief end and extremism begin? Jacob Winograd and David Liley confront the concerns about extremism in all its forms and discuss the implications for Christians. Seeking insight into biblical governance and anarchy? We discuss how law and authority can align with scripture, emphasizing doctrines like the lesser magistrate and sphere sovereignty, and avoid crossing into extremism. In this episode, we challenge the compatibility of Christian nationalism with the biblical mandate to love all—including neighbors and enemies.

In today's fragmented world, how do we reconcile our understanding of history with the complex issues of our time? With ideologies, conflicts, and historical events so intricately woven into the fabric of our society, it can be challenging to separate truth from misinformation and historical fact from revisionist narratives. This episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast delves deep into these issues, examining the layers of history that often go unspoken or misunderstood. How do we, as followers of Christ, navigate the morally gray areas of historical context, especially when looking at events such as the rise of Nazi Germany or the repercussions of Zionism? This episode takes us through a careful examination of historical events that have shaped our understanding of good and evil, shedding light on the often uncomfortable truths that aid in our pursuit of righteousness. How do we approach controversial subjects such as sexual morality and transgender issues from a biblical standpoint? How can we address growing concerns in our society without falling into the same patterns of historical atrocities? With compassion and clarity, Jacob addresses these difficult questions and aims to discern the underlying grievances that can give rise to sinister movements. Are sacrifices of personal freedom and moral integrity ever warranted in the quest to maintain societal order, or does Christ's kingship call us to a higher standard? The episode draws a compelling line between understanding and action, urging Christians not only to cognize historical events but also to become vocal advocates for godly principles in a world that so desperately needs them. Is it possible to honor the memory of the Holocaust while not also recognizing the suffering of the Palestinian people? Winograd demonstrates that remembrance and empathy are not mutually exclusive to one group or event, advocating for a Christ-like view where each individual is cherished and the collective is not vilified. Join us as we unravel the nuanced answers to these complex questions, urging our brothers and sisters in faith to awaken to the dangers of collectivism and embrace individuality through the love of Christ. Listen to this episode for an impassioned plea to view history through the lens of the Gospel and Scripture—to overcome evil with good, to judge fairly, and to stand firmly in the truth that is rooted in God's word. Tune in and let us together find the courage to stand against the tide, resist the allure of collective dogma, and remember that we serve a God who transcends history—a king who calls us to be informed, prayerful, and proactive agents of His unending love and justice.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, join host Jacob Winograd as he unpacks the thought-provoking controversy surrounding Candace Owens' departure from The Daily Wire and the subsequent scrutiny of her stance on the war in Gaza. Through a detailed exploration, Jacob delves into the moral and ethical complexities of the conflict, emphasizing the parallels between historical events and contemporary viewpoints. By addressing the criticisms directed at Candace, he prompts listeners to reconsider traditional perspectives, urging them to navigate the intricate landscape of geopolitical issues through the lens of their faith. Jacob then plays a clip from a recent LCI Greenroom livestream he did with Kyle Matovcik, host of the “In Liberty & Health” podcast. In that stream, Kyle and Jacob played the video released by Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan following Candace's firing, in which Andrew slanders Candace. Kyle and Jacob demonstrate the faulty logic behind these claims and showcase how identity politics and collectivism are tools that both the left AND right will employ to distract people from the truth. If you're ready to engage in a stimulating and challenging discussion on the intersections of faith, politics, and morality, this episode is a must-listen.

As Christians, we frequently grapple with the nature of civil authority. It's no secret that authorities aren't absolute, and today we'll explore the intricate dance between submission and resistance in the light of biblical teachings. We'll take a challenging walk through the moral landscape, where the principles laid out in Scripture guide us, but the real-world applications often leave us with tough decisions to make. Our focus will be on the timeless narrative of David and Saul. Just like David faced the temptation to assert his own judgment over King Saul, we too face situations where authority might clash with moral decree. How do we respond? In this episode, we unpack the story of David's restraint, his recognition of Saul as the Lord's anointed, and what that means for us when we encounter unjust laws or persecution. We'll consider whether there's ever a time for defiance, drawing parallels between biblical accounts and historical events such as the resistance in Nazi Germany, and what sphere sovereignty really entails when it comes to the power of civil rulers. Is there a one-size-fits-all Christian response to the authorities that govern us, or is the answer a nuanced fidelity to God's moral decree? Let's get into it and seek understanding through scripture, logic, reason, and philosophy, and ask ourselves: How does the story of David and Saul instruct us in our own interactions with powers and principalities? So then, listen to this episode as we dissect these themes, advocate for a scripture-rooted world view, and commit to applying God's unchanging principles to the ever-evolving circumstances of our time.

In this week’s episode, we are playing a clip from a recent livestream conversation with Dave Smith, comedian and host of Part of the Problem. We tackled tough questions on the state's role in migration, the clash between open borders & opposing positions within libertarianism, and the search for pragmatic solutions that respect individual freedoms. Dave Smith shares his journey from minimum wage advocate to libertarian leader, revealing hard truths about public policy and immigration. He reminds us that any ideology, including libertarianism, must be grounded in common sense to impact culture and policy. As we consider the mismanagement of public property and a decentralized approach to immigration, we seek a balance that honors both libertarian principles and the realities of governance. Matthew Bellis chimes in on infusing libertarianism with a 'do no harm' philosophy. We can point to the negative consequences of an open borders policy & also highlight the plight of immigrants and the government's imperfect custodianship of public resources. Join us for a candid conversation that cuts through ideological extremes, as we commit to facing real-world problems with mature libertarian perspectives right here on the Biblical Anarchy Podcast.

In this episode, we explore the compelling narrative of finding freedom in Christ opposed to seeking to legislate morality through the state. I open up about my own struggles with sin and the quest for redemption that required something beyond worldly solutions. We confront the reality that laws alone cannot initiate cultural and spiritual renewal; rather, it's through the gospel and Christ's sacrifice that we experience true liberation. I share my journey of making Christ the authority in every aspect of life, revealing the transformative power of His reign. We discuss the significance of church community, the strength found in vulnerability, and the enduring truth that only through Jesus Christ do we achieve sincere and lasting change. This episode is a poignant reflection on personal growth, theological insights, and how we as Christians should look at ourselves and our allegiances/citizenship, being torn between the world and the Kingdom of God.

In this episode, we tackle some subjects on which Christians love to disagree! What does the Bible really teach us about modesty, purity, lust, sex, and how men and women should conduct themselves regarding each other?

In this episode of Biblical Anarchy, we confront the complexities of Romans 13 and the nature of governing authorities. We'll also scrutinize the presuppositions associated with state power and the conduct of Christians under different types of governance. Acknowledging the diverse Christian perspectives on this issue, we'll juxtapose our own interpretations with those from other Christian perspectives, including other libertarian and anarchist viewpoints. Specifically, I talk about Stephen Rose of the Anarcho-Christian podcast and some interactions we've had over our different interpretations. We delve into the significance of good conduct in relation to state authority and challenge the conflation of governance with the state apparatus. Our discussion goes beyond a mere exploration of the text to question the effectiveness of political power in upholding righteousness. With an eye towards the history of nations and the calling of our faith, we'll encourage a focus on Jesus Christ as the ultimate hope and leader. Join us as we search for a deeper understanding of governance, authority, and our place as Christians in this world.

Connecting these theological discussions to current geopolitical scenarios, particularly regarding Israel, Pastor McMurtry provides a nuanced view on Christian stances and their impact on global politics and the Gospel's message. The episode concludes with his thoughts on the church's role in politics and governance, inviting listeners to explore more through his online platforms.
