EP141: Former Chair, Libertarian Party Needs to Acknowledge God - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
On Sept 8, 2025., Angela McArdle, former chair of the Libertarian Party, sent out a tweet that reads, in part, "The American libertarian movement is full of intellectual giants but it is lacking spiritually... Christ's sacrifice showed us the significance of the individual... The spiritual void in American libertarianism needs to be filled if we want God to bless our movement."
Obviously, this is a right up our alley.
Not only do we read Angela's post on X very closely, but also we cover the real source of your security, what freedom actually entails, why Christ's Kingdom is free, why the pastor and the pornographer can be friends at a libertarian meeting, and even the role of this former Chair and the caucus she presently leads in the party's present situation.
