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.

EP130: Wish Dave Smith Was A Libertarian On Immigration - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
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. In this episode, Jim Babka explores where property rights analysis usually works, and where it breaks down. He also **corrects himself!** on a point he made in a recent episode, and he explains why he now sees it differently. Along the way, you’ll hear Dave’s best argument, Alex’s most powerful line, and a fresh perspective on what principled liberty looks like.
