About The Bad Roman
Are you a Christian who feels disillusioned by politics? Do you see political systems—whether democratic, authoritarian, or otherwise—promising change but often leaving you unfulfilled? As followers of Christ, our calling isn’t tied to any earthly power; it’s to live like Jesus, no matter the political landscape. On this podcast, we explore what it means to set aside man-made allegiances—be they national, partisan, or ideological—and instead take up the Cross. Host Craig Harguess, a former neoconservative Southern Baptist Republican turned pacifist and Christian Voluntaryist, delves into the complex relationship between faith and political power. Through conversations with everyday Christians, church leaders, and even non-Christians, we challenge the ways politics can distract us from God’s work. True change starts where we are—because when we live like Christ, the world around us shifts, regardless of who holds power. New episodes release bi-weekly. Learn more at www.thebadroman.com.

Published 8 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I was listening to y'all's show. I haven't finished the most recent episode of Larkin Rose. And one of the I think it was Matt Agris said on there, he said. This started, Flock started off as like a, it wasn't that many cameras. And then it all of a sudden exploded like 80,000 cameras all of a sudden. And then it could go to like a million cameras. Like it doesn't seem to be any stop, but there's nobody. Nobody asked me if I wanted Flock cameras in my neighborhood. There's one, they'll put up that little sign that shows your speed limit. It's got a Flock camera attached to it. Nobody asked me if I wanted, if I wanted that in my neighborhood. […]
