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

Gracearchy with Jim Babka ·

2026/02/09

Every time President Trump says something outrageous, his opposition takes the bait. He gets stronger. It turns out that there's a theory that describes this! This episode explores how the bait-and-bait-taking dynamic has corrupted both sides of the aisle, turning politics into a codependent spectacle. Jim Babka breaks down the failed strategy of “resistance,” provides a Girardian lens on the conflict, shows you what stories to ignore, and offers strategic alternatives - four Gracepoints for

2026/01/26

Anti-ICE protesters storm a worship service because an ICE official is also one of the pastors. Don Lemon live streams it. We reveal the legal, moral, and spiritual stakes. Along the way, Jim Babka shares his unique experience with Freedom of the Press at the Supreme Court, and his experience having someone maliciously interrupt a service while he was an "accidental pastor." We explain and defend press freedom, Jim confesses personal mistakes, and analyze whether or not the protest was wise or

2026/01/19

With a commitment to context, fairness, and grace, we do a reaction video to Nick Freitas’s take on the Minneapolis-ICE shooting of Renee Good. We acknowledge Freitas’s experience and his concern about municipal riots. But we confront a troubling pattern: empathy flows toward institutions and agents of the State, while the person killed fades into an ideological abstraction called “The Left.” The episode dismantles the justifications including the myth of training and the constitutionality of ICE

2026/01/12

Renee Good is shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Back in 1963, Abraham Zapruder filmed the Kennedy assassination. It is still endlessly analyzed. We provide four simultaneous angles of Good's vehicle, consider the question of whether or not the shooting is justified, and then... We go beyond the camera to the realm of causes and effects, the role of empathy, and sweeping solutions - a package you'll get nowhere else. NOTES The four-panel simultaneous video is from Ken Moellman

You're being invited to a conspiracy. Civil disobedience is a tradition for free people resisting crimes by unaccountable State actors. Jimmy Lai and millions (literally) of Hong Kongers used protests and vigils to call attention to the deeds of the Chinese Communist Party. Unfortunately, Jimmy was imprisoned in 2020, and in December 2025 he was finally convicted under the National Security Law - essentially, an accusation of sedition. This Hong Kong "law" is so sweeping that YOU are violating it if

Bill tells Jim about a show that's been removed from the "Tube of You." Then, they take you "behind the scenes" about how difficult it is to run a show on that platform. But if there's that much friction, then why do they do it? Jim explains why they believed they should, why they might be making real changes, and why this state of affairs is unlikely to last.

Jim received this question from Sebastián in Colombia... "I'm contacting you because I'm conducting research that seeks to reconcile gun liberalization with social peace, and I believe the key lies precisely in the principles of Human Respect. The idea is that a truly peaceful society is not one that cannot use violence, but one that, having the lethal means to do so, chooses not to, out of profound respect for others. I'd like to ask you: Do you think Human Respect can be interpreted as the

Conservatism isn't real, and it's about to turn on a man who stuck by the alleged Tea Party principles. I bring the overwhelming evidence for that case. And we explain how to make this better.

Donald Trump proposes 50-year mortgages. Which sounds more liberating: Debt free or 50 years as a bank serf?Jim reveals three simple strategies that helped him pay off his own home ahead of his goal of 11 years. None of these methods requires petitioning a politician to fix anything. Instead, they let you reclaim control: No mortgage. No bank payment. More freedom.

Christians should be able to defend slavery? Pastor Joshua Haymes said that on his podcast. It was clipped and shared, sparking outrage. Might it be the case that Haymes is being consistent with a hermeneutic many evangelicals already share? Jim Babka explains why so many believers react emotionally but struggle to explain why. In this episode, you’ll discover a better hermeneutic. You'll also learn why grace is essential and why reaching people before they tie their identity to hate

Ian Freeman, a voluntaryist and Bitcoin distributor, was prosecuted for his political views, lied about by the Justice Department, and unjustly convicted based on flimsy, frame-up charges by the IRS. In July, 2023, a couple of weeks before his appeal was denied, we sat down to talk about both Ian as a person and his criminal case with his Free Talk Live partner, Mark Edge.

Here, we hold up the mirror on the Collective Blame Game. Partisan actors are stoking violence. Jim covers the rules of the blame game, and then reveals the underlying scapegoat mechanism. The churches, alleged purveyors of the Gospel, are instead in the blame game, joined by their violent god. Before long, we may expect partisan paramilitaries too. The way out? First, personhood. Second, recognition of the actual persecutor. Discover the role of the "prophetic witness," and why, long term, we need

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

Jimmy Kimmel made a joke after Charlie Kirk's assassination. His critics ignored the context. Then, his show was suspended; it might even be canceled. Can we say that the Right’s rush to punish Kimmel echoed the very cancel culture they claim to oppose? In this episode, Jim Babka and Bill Protzmann *graciously* contextualize and steelman, and discuss coerced apologies, media manipulation, and the government’s role in silencing dissent.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination shocked the nation. But how should we respond? In this episode, Jim Babka and Bill Protzmann offer a uniquely voluntaryist and grace-based analysis. They reflect on how power seduces partisans into mirroring the very monsters they oppose. They also explore...• Why political force is always violence • The danger of censorship, overreaction, and symbolic gestures • How Kirk both enabled coercion and invited conversation • What it means to truly stay grounded and act with
