Critical Race Theory ( CRT ) is a hot topic in America, how should Christian libertarians view it? In some ways the narrative of CRT has some validity to it, and may be enlightening for what is going on in society; however, portions of CRT directly challenge people's rights and individual liberty. What are some takeaways, and what should we take with a grain of salt?  Show Notes: Have you listened...

With his background in engineering Kris has been gifted with a keen eye for the mechanisms that make a system, such as libert...

Much of what is being said on the news and social media about abortion by both pro-choice and pro-life activists is just plain wrong. In this episode, three pro-life libertarian women "take the mic" to discuss some of the most common myths about abortion and to present a new way of thinking for libertarians to value both the rights of women and the unborn.

Social media is a massive aspect of modern life. Like most anything else, it can be a platform for good, or it can be used for the opposite. We are forced to wonder the ways in which social media influences our lives - especially with Elon Musk's recent involvement in Twitter - and how people may use it as a tool to direct people's behavior. Regardless, social media allows people who may not have...

We were delighted to welcome back  Jason Jewell, Ph. D. , a  previous guest on the podcast  and new editor of our own journal the  Christian Libertarian Review  ( CLR ).

In this episode, we are sharing our recent interview on the Tom Mullen Talks Freedom podcast  where we discussed how libertarianism and Christianity meld as a belief system, and some questions from  Faith Seeking Freedom .

We decided to react to a debate Dr. Norman Horn participated in with Dr. Allan Carlson back in 2013 on the topic of whether the state should define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. In the Bible, God defines marriage within Genesis; however, as our society shifts and changes the view of marital unions have changed. Many Christians would argue that based upon the way God intended the n...
