In this deeply personal and theologically grounded solo episode, Jacob Winograd explores the question: Why do Christian libertarians—and Christians more broadly—need to talk about Israel? With a fusion of political analysis, historical context, and biblical exegesis, Jacob challenges the theological assumptions that undergird modern Christian Zionism. Drawing from Romans 9–11, Galatians 3–4, and Hebrews 11–12, he argues that the gospel centers not on ethnic identity or nationalistic promises, but on faith in Christ and the establishment of one covenant people of God.
Jacob also dives into the foreign policy consequences of Zionist theology, connecting neoconservative ideology to American interventions in the Middle East. Referencing Scott Horton's Enough Already, the "A Clean Break" memo, and General Wesley Clark’s revelations, he reveals how Israel’s geopolitical influence—propped up by distorted theology—has helped catalyze war, empire, and immense human suffering. The episode ends with a call to realign our theology with the gospel of peace and justice through faith, not blood or borders.
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
