In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd explores the idolatrous tendencies that can arise around election seasons and the importance of placing Christ above political allegiances. As the 2024 U.S. election approaches, Jacob discusses different Christian perspectives on voting, ranging from support for specific candidates like Donald Trump or Chase Oliver to the decision not to vote. Through the lens of Christian libertarianism, he challenges listeners to avoid anchoring their hope in political outcomes, highlighting that true transformation stems from the gospel rather than political power.
Jacob encourages Christians to engage thoughtfully and respectfully in political discourse while remembering that, ultimately, Christ is King. Regardless of who wins, the task remains the same: live as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, grounded in faith, with a purpose that transcends national or political identities. This episode calls for self-reflection, urging believers to evaluate whether their priorities reflect a dedication to Christ over fleeting political victories.

What is The Biblical Anarchy Podcast?
The Biblical Anarchy Podcast was created by Jacob Winograd as a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute, with the purpose of making the case for a free society and decentralized governance based on Biblical principles of limited authority and imitating Christ’s example of the leader/servant. If we render unto God what is God’s, we cannot bow down to Caesar or render anything unto him except that which he deserves. The podcast consists of exploring different Bible passages, anarchist theory, Austrian Economics, and finding the connection and harmony between them.
The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians for Liberty Network, a coalition of shows that promote human flourishing by spreading the message of liberty. Find other shows at christiansforliberty.net
