Gracearchy with Jim Babka

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 philosophy. He discovered that politics corrupts character, the world hates being fixed, and debates disconnect persons. Chopping at the root requires us to address blame, envy, and scapegoating. The world needs Grace. MODERATOR. Bill Protzmann

EP141: Former Chair, Libertarian Party Needs to Acknowledge God - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

September 25, 2025 • 46 mins
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...

EP140: Jimmy Kimmel, Charlie Kirk, Context, and Canceling - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

September 22, 2025 • 53 mins
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 diss...

THIS IS PART 2. EP137 was Part 1. 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.

EP136: The Truth About Tariffs Told by Dave Hebert, Economist - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

July 24, 2025 • 63 mins
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: T...

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...

EP134: Why ICE is an Illegal Agency - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

July 14, 2025 • 14 mins
ICE doesn't need to be "tweaked" or reformed. It's budget shouldn't merely be cut. It's existence is a problem at the roots, so the fruit will be bad. We turned the mics back on, right after recording an episode. The result is... First, the shortest full episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka - 14 minutes. Second, a concise yet complete argument about the unconstitutional nature of this agency. SHOW NOTES Ninth Amendment: "The enum...

Five Ways to End ICE Riots - Instant Grace with Jim Babka IG38

June 11, 2025 • 6 mins
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?

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
