Ep. 79: Rescue the Republic? Discussing Redemption and Purity Testing with Clint Russell

In this episode of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd is joined by Clint Russell, host of Liberty Lockdown, to discuss pressing topics such as coalition-building in libertarian circles, global conflicts, and the influence of figures like Donald Trump, Russell Brand, and Jordan Peterson. They delve into the challenges libertarians face when working with other political movements, focusing on the concept of a “Jonah Complex,” which reflects a reluctance to embrace change or success. Clint emphasizes that coalition-building, despite ideological differences, is essential for achieving real progress in liberty.

The conversation also covers faith and public figures, examining the backlash against Russell Brand’s redemption story and the complexity of Jordan Peterson’s role in modern discourse. Jacob and Clint explore how purity testing within both libertarian and Christian circles can hinder progress, and they stress the importance of focusing on common goals. The episode concludes with reflections on the dangers of binary thinking, political pragmatism, and the need for libertarians to work within coalitions, even with imperfect allies, to avoid isolation and ineffectiveness.

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
