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

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

June 11, 2025 • 6 mins

A 'Tax Cheat' Pardon? - Instant Grace with Jim Babka 37

May 29, 2025 • 5 mins

May 13, 2025 • 71 mins
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 ...

EP126: Girard's Scapegoat on Good Friday 2025 - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

April 17, 2025 • 45 mins
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.
