  • A real Christian Anarchist podcast

    I am so grateful for Craig’s podcast. I have been a libertarian since the age of 15 and an eastern Christian since 2003. But I am really glad that Craig is spending his valuable time providing this valuable content. Also nice to know he is here in TN, which is my new home.

  • disappointing

    from what i was able to listen to, it’s mostly the host re-explaining his journey from being a neo-con (almost every episode), interrupting his guests, and not actually really ever delving deeply into his contributor’s material. you’re better off reading the blog on the website.

    it gets three stars instead of one simply because the attempt at having a “jesus-centric” faith is admirable, although incomplete, and the state sucks—so any anti-state voice is a good one.
