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.
MODERATOR. Bill Protzmann
How MAGA Plans to Steal the Libertarian Party Bus - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 171
What happens when people who reject Libertarian Party principles decide they want its ballot access? Is the meaning of libertarianism itself at stake?
A conspiracy of major influencers and politicians is organizing a party takeover. They disagree with the platform, want current members chased off, and plan to rename, rebrand, and redirect the LP toward “class struggle” politics. Jim names names, plays the clips, and traces the damage from the last takeover. He also explains why both major parties keep attacking libertarians, revisits the campaigns of Chase Oliver and Gary Johnson - even debunks the Aleppo myth.
Two urgent questions remain: Will this devastate the party, and how can it be stopped?

Nikole Hannah-Jones' Daughter Gives Mom an F - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 170
Nikole Hannah-Jones, who is degreed and able to afford better, chose to send her daughter to underperforming city public schools in New York. She made this decision based on "the collective good and not just our individual advantage."
Now, Nikole Hannah-Jones' daughter gives Mom an F. Ms. Hannah-Jones is the author of a piece in The New York Times, "In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?" We will get to the most devastating line of the piece, and a highly relevant story from Jim's past that involved confronting a black Democrat politician at a town hall.
We discuss whether this mother has redeemed herself through her amazing confessions. We'll also consider Hannah-Jones' hatred of school choice initiatives; Jim will explain why they fail the people they're designed to help, and graciously offer better mentors for Nikole Hannah-Jones to consider - root level solutions for everyone who really wants to help all kids get a better education.

Was Charlie Kirk the Katechon of Antisemitism? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 169
It's been a year since 9/10/25. Charlie Kirk. Only here will you hear a discussion of how national politics and Trump Admin decisions could've been different, if Kirk was still here. Maybe, just maybe, he was "the restrainer."
