One year after stepping into the Crucible debate stage with Andrew Wilson, Jacob Winograd returns to reflect — not to rehash, but to reckon. In this episode, Jacob candidly unpacks what he got right, where he fumbled, and how his thinking has evolved since going toe-to-toe with one of Christian Nationalism’s most articulate defenders. From the limits of civil government to the dangers of state-enforced virtue, this is a raw, thoughtful look at how debate, even in defeat, can sharpen conviction.
But this episode is more than a post-mortem — it’s a call to action. Jacob exposes the philosophical and theological inconsistencies in Christian Nationalist thought, from its misuse of coercive power to its dangerous flirtations with tribalism and cultural Christianity. Drawing on Scripture, economic reasoning, and his own spiritual growth, he makes the case for a better way: one rooted not in the sword of Caesar, but in the upside-down kingdom of Christ. Whether you’re skeptical of libertarianism or disillusioned with reactionary populism, this reflection is a must-listen.
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
