Ep. 87: Can Anarchy Promote Morality? A Biblical Perspective

In this episode, host Jacob Winograd tackles a frequent critique of anarchism and libertarianism: the claim that these systems lead to societal degeneracy and moral decline. He begins by contextualizing the argument with a recent debate on Christian nationalism and a criticism of anarchism shared on Twitter/X. Jacob dismantles the idea that liberty inherently promotes degeneracy, arguing instead that historical and biblical evidence shows how state power often exacerbates moral decay. Drawing from libertarian theory, Christian theology, and thinkers like Hans Hermann Hoppe, Jacob asserts that true solutions to sin and societal improvement lie not in coercive governance but in the transformative power of the Gospel and voluntary cooperation. Jacob also explores related themes, including how politics is influenced by culture, the limits of state power in addressing moral issues, and why Christian efforts should focus on spreading the Gospel rather than relying on the state to enforce morality. The episode ends with a call to embrace biblical principles and libertarian ethics as tools to promote genuine societal change.

Ep 390: Reaching Black Americans with the Libertarian Message, with Ricky Dale Harrington Jr.

Host Cody Cook engages in an enlightening discussion with guest Ricky Dale Harrington, a former political candidate and active libertarian, on reaching black American with the libertarian message. Harrington highlights the need to address the personal concerns and experience of the people we try to connect with as opposed to focusing only on theory. Cody Cook highlights governmental obstacles that often hinder charitable projects, especially for the homeless, while the duo explores the complex debate around welfare's implications for the black community, referencing insights from economist Thomas Sowell. They discuss the fear and uncertainty faced by those considering leaving welfare programs, advocating for a libertarian approach that not only seeks to replace welfare with charity but also aims to dismantle regulatory barriers that stifle business creation and affordability. Listeners will gain insights into regulatory impediments such as unnecessary certification laws and the need for a strategic messaging approach that promotes gradual, supportive changes rather than abrupt policy shifts. Harrington and Cook also touch on justice system reforms, appealing to African Americans who may simultaneously distrust and support state expansion. Harrington's political transformation—from the Democratic Party to libertarianism, driven by concerns about government power and influenced by Ron Paul's anti-war stance—provides a backdrop to his candid reflections. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of libertarian principles in action and the ongoing efforts to reconcile theory with the lived experiences of diverse communities.

Ep 389: The Anarchist Anabaptist, with Cody Cook

Doug Stuart is joined by Cody Cook, an author and new co-host of The Libertarian Christian Podcast, to discuss the intriguing intersections between libertarianism, Anabaptism, and Christian nonviolence. Cody recounts both his religious journey and his exploration of anti-authoritarian beliefs on the right and left, culminating in a profound interest in both libertarianism and Anabaptism—a Christian sect known for its voluntary faith, separation from state influence, and rejection of infant baptism.

Doug and Cody engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the application of nonviolence and the legitimacy of self-defense, weighing Christian ethics against libertarian principles. Listeners will be introduced to Cody’s new book The Anarchist Anabaptist and upcoming release on systematic theology titled The Pocket Anabaptist, both exploring rich theological and historical contexts.

Ep. 86: Responding to Redeemed Zoomer: Does the Gospel Demand Christian Political Involvement?

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd responds to a video by Redeemed Zoomer, utilizing various clips to dissect and debate Redeemed Zoomer's perspectives on Christian political involvement, the separation of church and state, and the concept of Christian nationalism. Jacob, while not being himself Presbyterian, is influenced by reformed theology. He engages with Redeemed Zoomer's ideal of Presbyterian political theology, which advocates for moral influence over secular governance through a "two kingdoms" framework. While Jacob appreciates certain theological insights, he challenges the idea that nations should collectively submit to Christ and critiques the historical Presbyterian notion of a Christian state, arguing for a distinction between civil governance and coercive enforcement of religious beliefs. Throughout the episode, Jacob delves into the historical debate within reformed traditions over establishmentarianism, referring to the 1700s American Presbytery's revision of the Westminster Confession to reject civil government enforcing religious principles. He emphasizes the necessity of Christians being politically engaged without enforcing Christianity on others, advocating for civil justice influenced by Christian ethics without resorting to theonomy. By comparing different governance structures and exploring biblical prescriptions, Jacob positions his argument within a Christian libertarian framework, promoting voluntaryism as a non-coercive alternative better aligned with Christian values. The episode ultimately aims to clarify misconceptions and encourage further dialogue, positioning the Biblical Anarchy Podcast as a platform for thoughtful and historically informed discussions on the intersection of faith and politics.
