In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd welcomes back Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute and editorial director of Antiwar.com, to discuss his new book Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine. The conversation delves into the historical and political missteps that led to the current geopolitical tensions involving Ukraine, Russia, NATO, and U.S. foreign policy. They explore themes such as the dangers of U.S. hegemony, the moral failures of government leaders, and the critical need for Christians to hold leaders accountable for pursuing peace.
Horton provides a detailed examination of the policies, treaties, and decisions made by multiple U.S. administrations, highlighting how these actions provoked the conflict in Ukraine. The discussion underscores the hypocrisy in American foreign policy, the role of propaganda, and the need for consistent ethical standards. Jacob contextualizes these insights within a biblical framework, emphasizing the eternal kingdom of Christ over worldly empires. This episode offers both a critique of modern geopolitics and a call for Christians to embody peacemaking principles in their engagement with political issues.

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
