The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. I recently watched my mother die. It was a profound experience. In this episode, I share a few thoughts about the experience and the flashes of light I saw during a dark time.

The Last Enemy

To jab or not to jab? That is the question. But a lot of people don’t feel like they have a whole lot of choice in the matter. In this episode I talk about the coronavirus vaccine, and vaccine mandates and passports, from a libertarian Christian perspective.

To Jab or Not to Jab?

If all these mitigation efforts including lockdowns and mask mandates worked, we should see a significant difference between areas that implemented such measures and those that didn’t. We see no such difference. In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk with Ian Patterson about efforts to control coronavirus. We discuss how various policies have worked (or not worked.) We also discuss the collateral damage from lockdowns — both economic and spiritual — along with a Christian response to a pandemic.

Is Simone Biles “soft?” Did she embarrass America? Is she indicative of deeper problems in American society? A lot of people think so since the American gymnast dropped out of Olympic competition. But perhaps there’s another way of looking at it. In this episode of the GodArtchy podcast, I tackle some of the issues surrounding the Biles saga, including our conception of “toughness,” mental health, and the ridiculous statism and collectivism on display.

Suck It Up Simone?

Compulsory national service is slavery. Sound like hyperbole? I don’t think so. In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk about compulsory national service, including military conscription, and explain how it destroys the fundamental concept of self-ownership. And if somebody else owns you — that’s slavery.

Compulsory National Service

In my view, centralized power is the gravest threat to liberty. The best way to confront that threat is the break up centralized power through secession. Secession gets a bad rap in the United States because of its association with slavery and the Civil War, but secession itself has nothing to do with slavery and it doesn’t have to be violent. We can have what Mark Kreslins calls “peaceful political divorce.” In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, Mark and I talk about secession and how it could be used as a tool to move us toward liberty. Our conversation ends up going much deeper than that. We also discuss our personal political and spiritual journeys and talk about the feasibility of a voluntary society. Mark has worn many hats. He’s worked as a staffer on Capitol Hill, served as a pastor and hosted a radio show.

Racism is everywhere! At least that’s the narrative the "woke" social justice movement drives. Political movements spring from ideas and the left-wing social justice movement is rooted in postmodernism and critical race theory. But what are these ideologies? Where do they come from? And how do these ideas play out in society? In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk with former NYU professor Michael Rectenwald about postmodernism, critical race theory and the movement driven by these ideas.

Postmodernism and Critical Race Theory With Michael Rectenwald

in this episode, I hop on my soapbox and pontificate about several issues including a misguided reason for supporting wars, the dark side of social media and the limitation of libertarian philosophy when it comes to promoting human flourishing.

Hopping on My Soapbox

Shoving a crowbar between state and church. This is the place where Christian faith intersects with libertarian anarchy/voluntaryism.
