GRACE. Jesus didn't bring us religion; humans had long been sacrificing to the gods. His Gospel is an undeserved gift that overflows the heart and splashes out in waves that bless others. ARCHY. A suffering servant is the true king. His "government" is made up of servants who voluntarily carry a cross, go the extra mile, and care for the weakest. Church and State don't govern that way, so you're "Done." HOST. Jim Babka's career evolved from political campaigns to policy activism to principle-based philosophy. He discovered that politics corrupts character, the world hates being fixed, and debates disconnect persons. Chopping at the root requires us to address blame, envy, and scapegoating.

    She Came in Peace They Put Her In Chains - Instant Grace with Jim Babka IG47

    "I'm all for immigration, just follow the legal process." Nearly everyone who says something like that is put to the test by this short video. It's the story of a person who was here legally, with a career of significant responsibility, and who took the procedural steps. Handcuffed, for no reason. And then? Well, tune-in to learn the story of Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez. And anyone who thinks, "Oh well, she deserves it," then you'll know where they really stand. Probably in hypocrisy, if not outright bigotry. CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator. ZERO AGGRESSION PROJECT - https://zeroaggressionproject.org/ - is our sponsor.

    153: The Pettiness of Trump and His Codependent Frenemies - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

    Every time President Trump says something outrageous, his opposition takes the bait. He gets stronger. It turns out that there's a theory that describes this! This episode explores how the bait-and-bait-taking dynamic has corrupted both sides of the aisle, turning politics into a codependent spectacle. Jim Babka breaks down the failed strategy of “resistance,” provides a Girardian lens on the conflict, shows you what stories to ignore, and offers strategic alternatives - four Gracepoints for shrewdly navigating "enemy behavior."

    152: Don Lemon's Friends Invade a Worship Service - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

    Anti-ICE protesters storm a worship service because an ICE official is also one of the pastors. Don Lemon live streams it. We reveal the legal, moral, and spiritual stakes. Along the way, Jim Babka shares his unique experience with Freedom of the Press at the Supreme Court, and his experience having someone maliciously interrupt a service while he was an "accidental pastor." We explain and defend press freedom, Jim confesses personal mistakes, and analyze whether or not the protest was wise or effective.

    EP151: Does Nick Freitas Think Minneapolis Should Burn? Reaction Video - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

    With a commitment to context, fairness, and grace, we do a reaction video to Nick Freitas’s take on the Minneapolis-ICE shooting of Renee Good. We acknowledge Freitas’s experience and his concern about municipal riots. But we confront a troubling pattern: empathy flows toward institutions and agents of the State, while the person killed fades into an ideological abstraction called “The Left.” The episode dismantles the justifications including the myth of training and the constitutionality of ICE. We show you how collective judgment becomes a political weapon, and we ask hard questions about what gets lost when politics becomes war. How do narratives operate on both Left and Right? This episode argues that dehumanization is not just a rhetorical flaw - it cripples your ability to see what's actually happening. True social harmony requires resisting ideological shortcuts and seeing every person involved as fully human. (Recorded Monday, January 12, 2025). Freitas image by Gage Skidmore.

About

GRACE. Jesus didn't bring us religion; humans had long been sacrificing to the gods. His Gospel is an undeserved gift that overflows the heart and splashes out in waves that bless others. ARCHY. A suffering servant is the true king. His "government" is made up of servants who voluntarily carry a cross, go the extra mile, and care for the weakest. Church and State don't govern that way, so you're "Done." HOST. Jim Babka's career evolved from political campaigns to policy activism to principle-based philosophy. He discovered that politics corrupts character, the world hates being fixed, and debates disconnect persons. Chopping at the root requires us to address blame, envy, and scapegoating. The world needs Grace. MODERATOR. Bill Protzmann
