In this episode of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd explores the tension between separation and engagement for Christians in politics. He discusses whether Christians can participate in secular coalitions and political systems without compromising their faith. Drawing on Scripture and biblical examples, Jacob highlights the balance between being "in the world but not of it." He addresses key passages such as Ephesians 5:11 and Jeremiah 29:7, unpacking their implications for modern political engagement. By examining figures like Joseph, Daniel, and Paul, Jacob demonstrates how Christians can faithfully collaborate with non-believers for common good while upholding their values.

Jacob also reflects on the challenges and opportunities presented by recent elections, offering insights into the complexities of coalition-building for libertarians and Christians alike. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of discernment, vigilance, and maintaining allegiance to Christ while engaging in meaningful work that serves both God’s kingdom and societal welfare.
