Christians have a secret: hope in Christ gives us the ability to endure everything life throws our way. But what about economic and political freedom? Doug and Norman tackle an important and oft-asked question about what kind(s) of freedom we are advocating for. Can we be free when we’re living in tyranny? Or should we pursue political freedom as well?   Notes:

How does libertarianism align and deviate from the Bible? We will not argue that libertarianism is inherently Biblical; however, we say that libertarianism is concordant with the Bible and its tenets. We also see that the early Church was set apart as a community from the rest of the world and its kingdoms, they believed in a peaceful and voluntary association, and they were weary of the state.

Libertarians can be divided merely by their view of religion. How do we differ from the secular side of libertarianism? Christian libertarians are less worried with the enemies of the earth, and strive to be the best citizen of the Kingdom of God possible. How are we called to react to militant opposition? Jesus - the Prince of Peace - calls us to turn the other cheek and love them regardless.

The Bible has much to say on the issue of same-sex marriage, however, as Christian libertarians where should we stand? The state does not have the right to regulate how humans wish to make contracts with one another - even when it comes to a marital union. It is not the role of the state to agree with God’s view on marriage anyway.

As Christians we should desire to see the prevention or decrease of abortions, however, as libertarians we want the state to fund things like abortion. "Free" contraception may be a good thing to avoid the need for abortions, however, we discuss the reasons why - though it may seem like a good - the coercion and theft necessary to prevent these abortions are not necessary to avoid the increase of abortions. Could the free market produce a better form of contraception?

How are we supposed to defend our beliefs as Christian libertarians when it comes to social issues like abortion or gay marriage? Why do so many people look to the state for a moral compass or solutions when it comes to these social issues when the state has continually failed and exasperated these problems? How do we show the ineptitude of the state in social issues?

A lot of Christians wonder why churches went along with fear culture during the pandemic and followed government restrictions for social gatherings - even though some of those regulations were unlawful/unconstitutional - when the Bible commands its followers to not live in fear? Why did this pandemic shake society and the church so differently than previous ones?

When it comes to the use of cannabis products, what are Christian libertarians supposed to believe? The state has no right to dictate what each individual puts in their body, and we heavily disagree with the drug war but God prohibits the consumption of all sorts of things in the Bible. Or does our dominion over earth allow us to enjoy the benefits of cannabis? We cover all this and more in this week’s episode!
