In this episode, Jacob analyzes how conspiracy theory culture has grown across the political spectrum, using the recent Dave Smith vs. Seth Dillon exchange on Piers Morgan as a launchpad. Jacob reflects on the tension Christians face in a world overwhelmed by information, propaganda, and the rapid spread of mistrust toward institutions. Looking closely at foreign policy failures, government deception, and cultural tribalism, he explains why skepticism can be healthy — yet warns against replacing one blind trust with another. The conversation also explores how the rise of AI, deepfakes, and hyperpolarized online spaces makes discerning truth harder than ever, especially for Christians seeking to live faithfully in an empire of disinformation.

Jacob then addresses how blowback, identity politics, and a broken media environment fuel radicalization on the right. Using examples like Nick Fuentes, Israel-Palestine debates, and reactions to Charlie Kirk’s death, he explains how dishonest narratives — whether from governments, commentators, or influencers — strengthen the worst impulses in conspiracy theory culture. Instead of demonizing people or censoring them, Jacob argues for honest dialogue, principled skepticism, and Christian integrity. The episode closes with a call for the church to resist grievance-based politics and pursue truth, peace, and a kingdom-centered worldview in the midst of cultural chaos.

From a recent LCI Greenroom with Jacob Winograd of Biblical Anarchy, Dave comes in to address some of the criticisms he has received including from libertarians, and the theme of the conversation is why Christians need libertarianism to properly analyze the world, but that also libertarianism isn't enough to create a moral and peaceful society.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob shares his recent guest appearance on The Larry Sharpe Show, joined by fellow Christian libertarian Amity. The conversation centers around the often-repeated slogan “politics is downstream of culture,” with Jacob arguing that this is only half the truth. When people can’t afford rent, groceries, housing, or health care, culture doesn’t remain abstract; it reacts — often violently. The discussion explores how monetary policy, inflation, and government distortion of markets shape cultural norms, time preference, hope for the future, and even the ability of families to form and thrive. Jacob and Amity explain how artificially low interest rates, cronyism, federal subsidies, and barriers to local production inflate the cost of living and erode long-term thinking, while cheap consumer goods mask deeper economic instability.

Larry pushes the conversation into cultural psychology — asking why Americans consume impulsively, carry massive debt, and increasingly lose hope for marriage, homeownership, and purpose. Jacob and Amity respond by showing the tight feedback loop between economic suffering, social despair, and political polarization, alongside the Christian vision of work, rest, service, and meaningful community. Together they dissect generational hopelessness, declining marriage rates, the rise of socialism among young people, the moral hazards of government programs, and why solving cultural decline requires both spiritual renewal and economic reform. The conversation concludes with a challenge to Christians and libertarians alike: cultivate homes, churches, and communities built on service, responsibility, and example — while tearing down the economic and political structures that keep people trapped in cycles of dependency, resentment, and despair.
