In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd replays his appearance on the Libertarian Christian Podcast. In this engaging discussion, Jacob and host Cody Cook delve into the concept of Biblical Anarchy, examining its roots, definitions, and implications for modern Christian thought and governance. The conversation traverses a wide range of topics, including the interpretation of Romans 12-13, the role of self-ownership in Christian doctrine, critiques of property and governance, and the historical contributions of figures like Murray Rothbard. By dissecting both biblical texts and philosophical arguments, Jacob seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of a decentralized, non-coercive system of governance grounded in Christian beliefs - and to demonstrate why Anarchy isn't what people think it is.

In this episode, Jacob Winograd digs into one of the most uncomfortable questions Christians and libertarians can ask: What if America isn’t the hero of the story? Tracing U.S. foreign policy from the Spanish-American War through 9/11 and into the present day, Jacob explores how the language of liberty, democracy, and even Christianity has been weaponized to justify empire. He unpacks how wars sold as moral crusades—from Iraq and Afghanistan to support for Israel and NATO expansion—have led to blowback, destabilization, and immense civilian suffering.

But this isn’t about hating America or denying its best ideals.

Jacob argues that we can still appreciate the beauty of the American experiment—its suspicion of power, its protections of free speech and conscience—while being honest about the sins committed in its name. For Christians, that means refusing to let patriotism become idolatry. Our first allegiance is to Christ’s kingdom, not the flag. True patriotism tells the truth, seeks repentance where needed, and distinguishes what reflects Christ from what reflects Caesar.

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.
