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 ·

2025/10/13

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. With Mark's help, we walk through the case, especially the convictions. Now, it's time to act - FreeIanNow.org This episode

Gracearchy with Jim Babka ·

2025/10/08

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

2025/09/25

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

2025/09/22

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. You’ll hear why the FCC’s “public interest” standard is

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

Speaker Johnson may believe he’s accelerating the end times—but is he misreading Revelation?What if Revelation isn’t about fire, fury, and war—but about grace and liberty?

THIS IS PART 1 of 2. A biblical breeding program is underway in Israel - and it appears Speaker Mike Johnson is helping it. This isn’t fiction. It’s part of a deeply held belief system impacting real decisions in Washington. Indeed, it doesn't end with Johnson; a powerful U.S. Senator and the Ambassador to Israel share similar views, and they both admit it impacts how they carry out U.S. policy.

Donald Trump resurrects a dead idea: Restrict free trade with tariffs. He suggests, and millions now agree, tariffs good for America. What are these "goods?" What are the various tradeoffs between them? Because there are always tradeoffs! Professional economist, Dave Hebert, answers those questions using Obama's Chinese tire tariffs and Trump's (first term) steel and aluminum tariffs. This conversation is broken into three parts: The economic impacts, the five strategic benefits of tariffs, and

You're offended by the actions of a politician you don't like. If only you had a tool to stop it? Turns out, there is something but... You repudiated that tool! You said it was racist. And invoking it now might undermine some of your other Utopian plans. Mayor Karen Bass takes the stage, wagging her finger at ICE, as they militarily sweep through LA's MacArthur Park like it was Mosul or Kandahar. There's nothing more she can do (or would want to do) because she and her progressive allies have, for

Because they know that the co-author of the Read the Bills Act and One Subject at a Time Act could explain why it's anything but beautiful. Jim reacts to Vice President J.D.

ICE Riots in LA are happening because people don't know and don't live by the answers to these questions. What is the supreme law of the U.S.? How are the powers of the federal government limited? What one thing is needed before an arrest can occur? 4. Do you know why immigrants are not criminals? 5. Do you know how old ICE is and why it was created?

Taken together, they expose how federal agencies conspired to protect themselves from scrutiny.

Dave Smith is a rising star, and he’s usually right. But in a recent debate with Alex Nowrasteh, his case for immigration restrictions raises big questions about what it really means to be a voluntaryist. In this episode, Jim Babka explores where property rights analysis usually works, and where it breaks down. He also **corrects himself!** on a point he made in a recent episode, and he explains why he now sees it differently. Along the way, you’ll hear Dave’s best argument, Alex’s most powerful

2025/05/13

What makes someone a libertarian? Jim Babka draws a distinction between being a libertarian and holding libertarian positions - effectively dismantling the myth of a “libertarian purity test.” He challenges efforts to smuggle in left-wing or right-wing agendas, starting with Jeffrey Tucker’s controversial 2014 essay "Against Libertarian Brutalism." From there, Jim builds a better foundation for understanding libertarianism, rooted not in aesthetics or tribal alliances but in the logic of
