On March 30th, Aaron Barker and I had a great interview on his program. We talked about Christian faith and liberty, a bit on Ron Paul, economics, and even a bit on foreign policy and political theory. You can quickly download the file here. Look for the March 30th entry, and download Hour 1.
Alternatively, here is a direct link to the mp3 download.

I will be on the Aaron Barker Program (see the Facebook page too) today at 5 p.m. CST / 6 p.m. EST to talk about Christianity, liberty, and politics. The program is broadcast locally from Cincinnati, OH and streamed live online. Aaron is a member of the Christian libertarian Facebook group and we have become fast friends in the short time I have known him. I am honored to be on his program, and I hope you’ll check it out.
To tune in later today, go to Aaron’s website and look for the “listen live” link on the right hand side.

I want to take a moment and say how thankful I am for the opportunity to write for the Washington Post, and how thankful I am to everyone, LCC readers and otherwise, who helped share it with other people. The importance of sharing information such as this cannot be overestimated, getting the word out there is critical and it needs to be discussed amongst scholars, churchmen, pastors, laymen, seminarians, and students. Otherwise, no beliefs will be changed, no minds will be won over. The activity I saw on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ regarding the article was incredible, and I truly appreciate all of my friends who valued it enough to share it with others. Over 300 people commented on WashingtonPost.com.
The coverage that the article received was massive, and I imagine that it has been the most widely disseminated piece I have ever written. I can only hope that it will bring more and more people to a better of understanding of Christianity and liberty.
Many other websites mentioned it as well, here is a list of a number of places where I saw links to the piece in some way. Some are just quotes and a link, some are positive, and some are negative. Nonetheless, I appreciate it.
-
First Thoughts, the blog of the academic journal of Christianity and public life First Things. This is a thoughtful post to which I may respond here.

- LewRockwell.com

There are many more, I am sure. Feel free to add more in the comments. Overall, I saw hundreds of Facebook shares, hundreds of Twitter mentions, and hundreds upon hundreds of comments on articles all over the net. Thanks again!
One of the best results is that the piece has skyrocketed to the top of search engine results for searches including both “Christian” and “libertarian”. LibertarianChristians.com has historically been ranked very highly as well, and so this raises the visibility of the site and our viewpoints even more. Outstanding!

LCC is in the Washington Post
Posted by: |A few weeks ago, the Washington Post’s highly-trafficked blog “On Faith” asked me to write an article about Christianity, libertarianism, and Ron Paul. The article was published today and is currently featured on the site in the “Guest Voices” section. Check it out!
A quick excerpt:
“Through libertarianism, many Christians have found a way to move past their previous beliefs about politics and embrace a more consistent, more biblical political philosophy. The message of abolishing government power is powerful on its own. In Ron Paul, many Christian libertarians see a leader who points to principles that conservatives and liberals have long forgotten… Libertarianism is not going away, and it surely will take an increasingly prominent place in the political discussion of Christians for years to come.”
Many thanks to the Washington Post for this great opportunity.
