In this episode of Biblical Anarchy, Jacob Winograd unpacks a provocative question: why do many Christians fixate on sexual immorality—like drag shows and pornography—while giving a pass to the far greater evils of state-sanctioned violence, unjust wars, and economic destruction? Reflecting on a recent controversy involving journalist Glenn Greenwald, Jacob challenges the Christian right’s disproportionate outrage and argues for a biblically faithful hierarchy of sin that prioritizes justice, peace, and human dignity. Drawing from Genesis, Romans 13, and libertarian political theory, he emphasizes that not all sins are equal in consequence, and that the Church must recenter its ethical focus.
Jacob explores how empire, war, fiat currency, and welfare dependency are more destructive to God’s design for society than the private sins often targeted by culture warriors. He examines the etymology and meaning of “degeneracy,” critiques Andrew Wilson’s response to Greenwald, and proposes a better framework for Christian moral outrage—one rooted in the gospel, ordered liberty, and proper spheres of authority. Whether you’re a libertarian Christian or a skeptical traditionalist, this episode invites you to reexamine what truly threatens human flourishing.

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
