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.

EP132: Why People Call Me About Big Beautiful Bill - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Why do people keep calling Jim Babka about “One Big Beautiful Bill?" Because they know that the co-author of the Read the Bills Act and One Subject at a Time Act could explain why it's anything but beautiful. Jim reacts to Vice President J.D. Vance’s candid comments on how Congress really works including why bills are unread, rules are skipped, and lawmakers vote on legislation they don’t understand. You'll hear how massive omnibus bills are packed with hidden agendas. And you'll get brilliant solutions to these problems!
[**Jim and Bill had to do bad, verbal impressions of Theo Von and V.P. Vance because of an unfounded copyright claim.**]
