GodArchy Podcast Michael Maharrey

"For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven."
And the season for GodArchy has come to an end.
This will be the final podcast for the foreseeable future. In this episode, I explain why, reminisce a bit, and say some thank yous.

In the 21st century, America's founding political principles seem pretty mundane. But in their time, they were extremely radical. And Thomas Paine was one of the most radical of the radicals.
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk with historian and Paine biographer Dave Benner. We discuss the radical nature of Paine's thinking in its time and what we can learn from it today. We also talk about how Paine's Quaker upbringing influenced some of his political ideas.

What good is cryptocurrency anyway?
With the steep decline in the price of bitcoin and the high-profile bankruptcy of the FTX exchange, you might be asking that question. But despite all of the negative press of late, there is still great potential for cryptocurrency.
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk with Joël Valenzuela about all things crypto. Joël knows a little bit about cryptocurrency because he has been using it exclusively in has daily life for over seven years. That means he's not using dollars at all. He does all of his transactions - from buying groceries to paying his phone bill - using cryptocurrencies.
Joël and I cover a wide range of topics surrounding crypto, from the basic "what is this" to the demise of the FTX exchange. He also explains how he's able to navigate his daily life using only crypto.

GodArchy has partnered with the Libertarian Christian Institute with the GodArchy podcast joining the Christians for Liberty Network.
In this episode, I drop the big news and then talk with Libertarian Christian Institute CEO Doug Stuart. We discuss the work of LCI, how Doug got involved, and how we plan to work together to advance the gospel and liberty.

What is inflation? How does government use inflationary monetary policy to steal from you? And what are the spiritual/biblical implications? I cover these questions in this episode of the GodArchy podcast.

As the saying goes, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
How do we advance liberty? Should we engage the political process? Or should we spurn it and undermine the state through other means? And what's the best way to talk about liberty in a compelling way?
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk with Spike Cohen about strategies for liberty.
Spike was the 2020 Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate. Today, he is continuing to advance liberty through his organization You Are the Power.
During the interview, Spike and I also talk about how he became a libertarian and how his spiritual views inform his political philosophy.
