What happens when a Christian stops voting and starts questioning everything?
Craig sits down with musician Ancap Tim to trace his journey from a Republican poster child (yes, he really had George W. Bush on his birthday cake) to a Christian challenging empire through music, faith, and bold conversation.
Tim shares how his journey through politics, theology, and touring Christian musician led him to a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Christ alone: no party, no empire, no king but The King.
They talk about:
- How faith and political ideology collide and sometimes collapse
- The moment Tim stopped playing the political game
- Why voluntarism and Christianity go hand in hand
- What inspired his latest album The State’s Just a Mafia
- Using music as a tool for truth, protest, and worship
- The role of small churches, AI, and hopeful universalism in shaping his worldview
This conversation moves from heavy to hopeful, with honest reflections on war, government, discipleship, and how modern politics often feels more like pro wrestling than public service.
Whether you're deep into Christian anarchism or just starting to question what you've always believed, this episode offers a refreshing mix of conviction, creativity, and clarity.
🎧 Listen now to hear how Tim’s latest album—and his life—makes the case for putting Christ above every other power.
