In this unapologetically provocative session, the Libertarian Christian Institute takes on some of the most controversial topics of our time—anarchy, COVID-19, and the role of the Church in a world increasingly dominated by state control. We’ll dive into how the pandemic exposed the fragile balance between personal freedom and government overreach, and how both the Church and the state reacted to the crisis. This discussion will challenge conventional thinking on the role of government, the Church’s involvement in politics, and the limits of authority. With a healthy dose of humor and a willingness to offend, this session will examine how libertarian principles intersect with faith and why the future of freedom might just require all of us to rethink our roles in society—especially in times of crisis. Get ready for a conversation that pushes boundaries, provokes thought, and yes, offends just a little bit—because in a world where everyone is offended, sometimes it’s the only way to get to the truth.

We believe that every Christian libertarian should feel comfortable affirming these statements, even if they have their own nuance or “spin” on them. Our aim is not to comprehensively spell out what every Christian libertarian must believe. Rather, we aim to provide a central... Read More →
