This episode is a special remastered replay of Doug Stuart’s appearance on Gracearchy with Jim Babka. Join Doug Stuart, Jim Babka, and Bill Protzmann for a dynamic discussion on Christian libertarianism and the role faith plays in political thought.
Doug unpacks what it means for him to head up content at LCI, how the Institute seeks to make the Christian case for a free society, and what the world might look like if their mission were fully realized. The conversation dives deep into topics like the biblical roots of freedom, why “Jesus is Lord and Caesar is not” is such a powerful political and spiritual statement, and how LCI champions an ecumenical approach spanning denominations from Anabaptist to Reformed.
Doug also opens up about his personal faith journey—from growing up in a conservative Baptist home, to wrestling with questions about Christian nationalism, to finding coherence in libertarian thought. He shares inside stories about LCI’s recent projects, including new book releases and their podcast/media expansion, as well as reflections on why free speech, principled pacifism, and creative, peaceful problem-solving are essential for Christians engaging society.
If you’re interested in the intersection of liberty, faith, and public engagement—or you’re just curious about why more Christians could mean more peace (not more war!)—this open and honest conversation is for you.
Show highlights include:
- What it means to be a Christian libertarian—with concrete examples from early Christianity to modern America
- How LCI is building bridges across traditions, and why ecumenical outreach matters
- Doug’s candid takes on Christian left and right, pacifism vs. statism, and the “kingdom way” of nonviolent creativity
- Behind the scenes on LCI’s new books and media projects, plus how you can get involved
Don’t miss this replay of a thoughtful, timely discussion that’s just as relevant for Libertarian Christian Podcast listeners as it was for Gracearchy’s audience!
