In this bonus episode of Biblical Anarchy, host Jacob Winograd re-releases a recent livestream from the LCI Greenroom featuring Chris Spangle, founder of the We Are Libertarians podcast network. As tensions rise with Iran and the world inches closer to another war, the conversation explores a provocative question: What if the most rational response to empire isn’t to vote harder, but to opt out entirely? Enter the grill pill—a growing mindset that suggests true resistance to tyranny begins by focusing on faith, family, localism, and sanity.

Together, Winograd and Spangle discuss the emotional, spiritual, and practical toll of national politics, the illusion of top-down solutions, and why humble stewardship may be more impactful than partisan combat. They cover burnout, Ron Paul, audience capture, political idolatry, Kuyper’s sphere sovereignty, and how Christians can rediscover their calling in a collapsing culture. Raw, reflective, and deeply relevant—this conversation asks whether it’s time to stop chasing political power and simply... Make America Grill Again.

Christian anarchism used to be a fringe idea—even within libertarian and Christian circles. But something has changed. In this special 100th episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd reflects on the journey from the early Daniel 3 Podcast days to now, and how the word "anarchy" went from being controversial to central.

Joined by returning guest and LCI colleague Cody Cook, they unpack what’s changed in the movement, what they’ve learned over 100 episodes, and why Christian anarchy is finally having its moment. From the problem of evil to the future of liberty in the church, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd takes aim at James Lindsay’s recent comments on Israel’s war in Gaza and challenges him for doing the very thing he criticizes in others: abandoning principle for political tribe. While Lindsay often warns about the “woke right” using moral language to mask power grabs, Jacob argues that Lindsay falls into the same trap when he demands moral clarity from Hamas but gives Israel a pass. That’s not justice—it’s moral convenience.

Drawing from the historic Christian tradition of Just War Theory, Jacob lays out what a truly consistent application looks like: one that measures all sides—friend or enemy—by the same standards. He defends Israel’s right to self-defense, but insists that Christians must not confuse vengeance for virtue. This is a call to reject tribalism, to stop weaponizing theology, and to remember that justice without consistency isn’t justice at all.

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.

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.

In this bonus episode, I sit down with Cody Cook to wrestle with some uncomfortable questions facing the liberty movement today. We talk about the rise of identity politics—not just on the left, but increasingly on the right—and whether libertarianism can offer a true alternative or if it's being co-opted by tribal instincts and reactionary impulses. Using Jeff Deist’s controversial “blood and soil” quote as a starting point, we explore how freedom of association intersects with issues of nationalism, racism, and open borders.

Can liberty thrive in a society fragmenting along cultural and tribal lines? Is decentralization enough, or do we need a shared moral foundation to preserve peace and voluntary cooperation? We reflect on Rothbard’s Nations by Consent, the Christian nationalist temptation, and whether becoming a republic again is a prerequisite to building a voluntaryist future. It’s a challenging but necessary conversation on where liberty and principle must stand in a world increasingly defined by group identity.

This is a bonus episode, originally produced as a Livestream from the LCI Greenroom. Here is the original Livestream description:

Tonight in the LCI Green Room, Jacob Winograd sits down once again with Dave DeCamp, news editor at Antiwar.com, for a wide-ranging and timely conversation on America’s entanglements abroad. From escalating tensions with Iran to the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the unrelenting crisis in Gaza, Dave brings his sharp analysis to bear on the costs of U.S. interventionism and the narratives used to sustain it.

We’ll also evaluate Donald Trump’s foreign policy legacy—was he the antiwar candidate he claimed to be, or did his actions tell a different story? From rhetoric to reality, we’ll trace the continuity and contrasts between administrations and consider what a truly non-interventionist approach would look like in 2025 and beyond. Don’t miss this critical conversation that cuts through the noise and aims straight for the truth.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd dives deep into the controversial conversations sparked by historian Daryl Cooper, particularly around World War II, Churchill, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Jacob opens with a gripping monologue inspired by Cooper’s Martyr Made series that humanizes the Palestinian perspective and challenges listeners to ask, “What would you do?” From there, he explores how myths about WWII and unquestioned narratives shape modern foreign policy and collective moral frameworks.

Through a critical examination of Allied decision-making, Churchill’s role, and missed opportunities to prevent genocide, Jacob makes the case that blind allegiance to national mythology distorts both our understanding of history and our response to present conflicts. Drawing parallels between 1930s Germany and modern disenfranchisement in the West, he highlights the importance of empathy, repentance, and Christlike love — even toward our enemies — as the true path to peace and justice.
