Gracearchy with Jim Babka

GRACE. Jesus didn"t bring us religion; humans had long been sacrificing to the gods. His Gospel is an undeserved gift that overflows the heart and splashes out in waves that bless others. ARCHY. A suffering servant is the true king. His "government" is made up of servants who voluntarily carry a cross, go the extra mile, and care for the weakest. Church and State don"t govern that way, so you"re "Done." HOST. Jim Babka"s career evolved from political campaigns to policy activism to principle-based

Misinformation and Disinformation. Now, the right wing movement to suppress these things has begun. In this episode, we'll explain how so-called "conservatives" and MAGA types will "go Woke" and join the left in suppression and censorship, led by their Celebritarian Pied Pipers. We'll name names, expose what they're doing, and why they're doing it.

There are four timeless issues in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case - literally, principles at stake. But appealing to principles, even timeless ones, won't persuade the partisans here. One thing might. What is that one thing? Here's a hint: History swings like a pendulum. The evidence for it has already begun to mount like a slippery slope.

Good Friday question: Are you making the social conditions worse or better? Are you willing to sacrifice others on the altar of your politics or religion? We can move in a libertarian direction in direct proportion to how much we move away from the blame-game, and how much we turn towards our neighbors. Here, we use Rene Girard's Scapegoat Theory to show to illuminate a path. NOTES "The Most Important Episode" EP88: René Girard: The Founding of Religion and

Is Jesus really Lord? What would that look like like? The answer may surprise you. Doug Stuart from the Libertarian Christian Institute joined Gracearchy with Jim Babka. Jesus Is Lord should be a message of hope, not a partisan message of division. So we encouraged Doug to grapple with the questions like... Shouldn't more Christians lead to more peace? Or does more Christians lead to more war? As a result, much of our conversation had us driving toward a consistent ethic of Christian

It was an otherwise fantastic interview on a great podcast. We highly recommend you watch the entire show! But Michael Shermer stumbled badly on the Kennedy assassination stuff. On this matter, Jim shows how he doesn't even practice trademarked Skepticism. Using clips from his interview with Reason's Nick Gillespie, Jim Babka demonstrates how uninformed and unfair Shermer is on this one issue - even answering Shermer's only real Skeptic question.LINKS The Reason Interview w/Nick Gillespie:

Socialism is a theory of blame that excuses envy. Popular podcasting socialists (including Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, and Sam Seder) recently gave writer Scott Galloway jubilant viral buzz. Galloway had appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and the podcasters presented the same 1-minute,20-second clip. Their commentary would be more accurately described as moral preaching. While Galloway was calling for much higher taxes on the wealthy, he was also ignoring historical facts and critical economic

Here, we very quickly and quite efficiently explore the debate around Elon Musk’s wealth, H-1B visas, and immigration.

In this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka, we take a unique, grace-based libertarian approach to the conversation. While Vivek raises valid points, his perspective focuses too much on immigrants as economic units. On the other hand, his critics reveal a troubling lack of humanity and understanding, with some even echoing Know-Nothing-era arguments.Jim dives deep into the debate, presenting a vision of

Spike's profession of faith can be summed up in "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" [Mark 9v24] During the interview itself, Spike has epiphanies that are a joy to witness.
