In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd explores the tension between isolationism and engagement within both Christianity and libertarianism. Drawing from his recently published article, "Living Liberty: Evaluating Libertarian Political Activism," Jacob examines the challenges Christians and libertarians face in advocating for their values in a fallen world. He highlights how balancing ideological purity with real-world impact requires thoughtful consideration, avoiding both the pitfalls of excessive compromise and total disengagement.
Jacob reflects on biblical and philosophical perspectives, discussing thinkers like Augustine and Rothbard to provide a framework for engaging with the world without losing sight of core principles. From fostering societal transformation to advancing liberty, this episode encourages listeners to walk the narrow path of faithful and impactful action.
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
