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.
