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

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...

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 ...

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. Disco...

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...

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? In this PART 2, Jim Babka unpacks a vision of the Kingdom that dismantles Statism, reveals the roots of modern misreadings, and explains how libertarian principles align with the Gospel’s deepest truths. EP137: https://youtu.be/...

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.

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...

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...

Why do people keep calling Jim Babka about “One Big Beautiful Bill?"

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.

He also **corrects himself!** on a point he made in a recent episode, and he explains why he now sees it differently. Alon...

President Trump is being accused of quid pro quo corruption. Since we're supposed to hate him, no one asks, "Who is the victim here?" Armed with that knowledge, my response is...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
