I have been having trouble getting the podcast RSS feed to work for the past month, and I haven’t been recording any new podcasts because of it. Folks, would a few of you do me a favor and attempt to subscribe to the feed in iTunes and otherwise to help test this? I’d appreciate it.

Click here to subscribe to the LCC Podcast directly with iTunes.

And if this works, any positive reviews you can give in iTunes and other podcast aggregators would be awesome as well…

Happy Birthday LCC!

Posted by: | (8)

It came and went without much ado, but lo and behold – LibertarianChristians.com is now  one year old! Yes indeed, there have been over 200 posts since that first fateful day, and the website has grown beyond my wildest expectations. Have you been blessed in some way by LibertarianChristians.com? Please leave a comment and let your friends here know how you’ve benefitted from your interactions here at LCC. And make sure to keep watching over the next few days, because lots of cool things will be happening. (There are rumors of an official “contest”…)

There are so many things to be thankful for over the past year, here are some metrics representing the growth of the past year…

  • Over 30,000 unique visitors
  • Over 200,000 pageviews
  • 185 Gigabytes of bandwidth
  • Almost 300 daily subscribers!

And you may be wondering, what are they all looking at? Here are the Top 20 Posts of 2009 by number of pageviews:

  1. 40 Reasons to Ban Guns 
  2. Simple Arguments Against the Iraq War 
  3. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #1: Lost Productivity
  4. Josephus on the Origin of the State 
  5. Podcast on Private Security with Gil Guillory
  6. Amusing Ourselves to Death 
  7. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #2: Newspeak 
  8. Top 10 Books for Christian Libertarians – Christmas 2008 Edition 
  9. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #8: Living in Fear 
  10. Podcast: Christianity and War Part 1 
  11. Perspectives on Religion and Capitalism
  12. The Fall of Bureaucrash
  13. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #6: Withholding Taxes
  14. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #9: Taxation is Theft
  15. Was J.R.R. Tolkien a Libertarian?
  16. The Libertarian Theology of Freedom
  17. Christian Libertarian vs. Libertarian Christian – Is there a difference?
  18. 10 Things I Hate About Taxes #5: Your Tax Dollars at Work
  19. On Rand and Altruism: A Defense of Christian Self-Interest
  20. New Testament Theology of the State, Part 1

To me, these data are astounding. Clearly, the interest of Christians in ideas on liberty is growing by leaps and bounds, and LCC has come to the forefront as a great place to learn about how liberty and faith work together.

You know what? I expect Year Two will be even bigger and better! I hope you’ll stick around and become part of this small but growing community.

The fight for liberty is generational, and we need to prepare ourselves for the long haul. I hope you will continue to come back again and again to LCC to learn, to grow, and to be encouraged. Again, please leave a comment below and tell your friends about what it means to you to be both libertarian and Christian.

image If you listened to the most recent LCC Podcast, you already have heard the big news. But, for those who have not, Laurence Vance has given his blessing to me to record the audiobook of his incredible Christianity and War, and Other Essays Against the Warfare State, as a series of podcasts on LCC! Tonight, the first installment will be released for your listening pleasure. I am super-excited about this opportunity to bring this book to you, and I hope that Vance’s words will be heard by many who may never have otherwise read his amazing work. Vance takes on the assumption that Christians should support aggressive war, and he shows why the Prince of Peace would never sanction such actions. We can be confident that aggression is not part of being a disciple of Christ.

Each installment will be no more than 25 minutes long (my goal is 20, but you never know…) and I will go through the book essay-by-essay, chapter-by-chapter. The book is over 300 pages long, so it will likely take a few months to do this. After the book has been fully recorded, the plan is to add it to the Mises.org archive, Dr. Vance’s website, and of course LibertarianChristians.com.

It will be very easy to keep track of the recordings as they are posted. For regular LCC readers, your RSS or email subscription will update you immediately upon release. (Please subscribe if you have not already done so!) If you have an mp3 player, such as an iPod or Zune, you can subscribe to the Podcast RSS Feed so that your software will automatically download the podcasts as well.

For iTunes users, you can search for the “LibertarianChristians.com” podcast in the iTunes store and add it from there. Or, click the following button to subscribe directly.
