September 09 Privacy, Surveillance, Tribalism, & Ideology, with Caleb Collier
We speak with Caleb Collier of the Church and State Podcast about his background, how he got into libertarian and constitutional circles, and why he started his show. We also discuss privacy and digital security tools, including Graphene OS, encrypted messaging, VPNs, and other ways to reduce surveillance. We spend much of the episode on political tribalism, especially within conservatism and the Republican Party, along with U.S. foreign policy, military bases, intervention, debt, and the effects of war. We then turn to the church, warning about political Christianity and urging Christians to put Christ above nation, politics, and ideology while studying Scripture for themselves.

August 26 Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing
Jacob returns after a long hiatus to discuss recent life changes, plans for a more regular release schedule, and a few previously recorded interviews that will be released soon. He also focuses on the tension between Christian faith, political action, and the use of power, reflecting on the costs of political engagement and arguing for a third way: Christians should rely on persuasion, service, and sacrifice rather than coercion. He also discusses the limits of state power, the dangers of political violence, and the importance of the church in caring for the poor, the elderly, and the vulnerable. He concludes by returning to the gospel as the answer to cultural decay, calling Christians to humility, neighbor-love, and a greater priority on the kingdom of God than political identity.

May 06 Are Good Christians Bad Romans? Christian Anarchism, with Craig Harguess
Christian anarchism holds that loyalty to Christ and loyalty to the American state are not the same thing -- and may be in direct conflict. In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd sits down with Craig Hargis of the Bad Roman Project to work through what Christian anarchism actually claims, why the Sermon on the Mount functions as its theological foundation, and what it costs to take that position seriously. They cover the early church's understanding of allegiance, the Romans 13 debate, Christian pacifism, and the hard question of whether Christians should vote at all -- including Jacob's honest reckoning with his own 2024 vote and what he got wrong. If you have ever wondered whether being a faithful Christian requires you to be a bad American, this conversation is for you.

April 25 Daryl Cooper: What Should Christian Conservatism Actually Look Like?
Daryl Cooper, better known as MartyrMade, is one of the most provocative and original voices in independent media. Known for his massive deep-dive podcast series on some of history's most contested events, Daryl has been praised for his empathy-driven approach to history and criticized for being willing to go where most historians won't.
In this conversation, we're setting aside the controversy and asking a different question: What should Christian conservatism actually look like? We'll explore Daryl's faith journey, how being a Christian shapes the way he approaches history and politics, and whether the American right has lost its soul in the process of winning the culture war. We'll also dig into libertarianism: what does it get right, where does it fall short, and is it sufficient as a political framework for Christians?
This is a good-faith conversation between two people who agree on more than you might expect, and disagree in ways worth hearing.

April 22 Can a Theology Compass Test Actually Guess My Theology?
Jacob Winograd, host of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, takes the Theocompass.com theology compass test live — answering 30 questions on the Trinity, Scripture, baptism, eschatology, and Christian ethics. The test scores him 67% Presbyterian Church in America. The problem: he's a Reformed Baptist who rejects infant baptism. This episode reveals what the theology compass test gets right, where its categories break down, and what a libertarian, amillennial, partial preterist Reformed Baptist actually believes.

April 16 Dave Smith: How The Iran War Shows the Right is Actually Pro Death
Dave Smith recently joined me live in the LCI Greenroom, and we discussed the Iran War and the status of the libertarian movement and the Republican Party. How is it that people who are committed to liberty or to following Christ can become cheerleaders for politicians, wars, and policies which go so completely against their stated principles? Dave and I discuss this and more.

April 08 How the Epstein Files Transparency Act Exposed the Cult of America Worship
In Episode 120 of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd examines what happened when Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act — and the DOJ simply ignored it. Drawing on the Massie hearings, the Epstein conspiracy pattern, elite theory, and the prophetic tradition of Scripture, Jacob argues that the cover-up reveals something more disturbing than any name in the files: that American Christians have drifted into worshiping the system itself, and that faithfulness to Christ demands we stop.

March 25 How One Surprising Verse Made Me Rethink Violence
In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd examines whether legal justification is a sufficient stopping point for Christian ethics on violence. Anchoring the discussion in 1 Corinthians 6:12 -- "all things are lawful, but not all things are helpful" -- Jacob distinguishes between principled pacifism, which he rejects on biblical grounds, and practical pacifism, a posture that treats lethal force as a genuine last resort rather than a celebrated option. Drawing on parallels from free market theory and noncoercive parenting, he argues that when violence is taken off the table as a default, better solutions emerge. The episode also critiques the "I wish a MFer would" ethos in Christian gun culture, revisits the early church's refusal to meet Roman persecution with defensive force, and challenges the binary framing that dominates both foreign policy and personal ethics debates among Christians. The conclusion: permissible is the floor, commendable is the target, and the church has been too quick to stop asking which one it is actually pursuing.

About The Biblical Anarchy Podcast

From the publisher's feed

The Biblical Anarchy Podcast was created by Jacob Winograd as a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute, with the purpose of making the case for a free society and decentralized governance based on Biblical principles of limited authority and imitating Christ’s example of the leader/servant. If we render unto God what is God’s, we cannot bow down to Caesar or render anything unto him except that which he deserves. The podcast consists of exploring different Bible passages, anarchist theory, Austrian Economics, and finding the connection and harmony between them.
