Episode 47 - Mike Maharrey - Christianity and War

Another spitfire episode with a great friend of the show, Mike Maharrey! We discuss his podcast godarchy.org and some thought provoking ideas about how Christians might think about war. Even the ones we "win."

Michael Maharrey serves as the national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center and the managing editor of the SchiffGold website.

Michael is the author of four books. Constitution: Owner’s Manual examines various constitutional clauses and principles through the lens of the ratifying conventions. Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty makes the historical, philosophical and moral case for nullification. Smashing Myths– Understanding Madison’s Notes on Nullification, digs deep into James Madison’s views on nullification, focusing on his writing’s later in life. Finally, Michael joined Tenth Amendment Center executive director Michael Boldin in penning Nullification Objections: Dismantling the Opposition, a book that takes apart the common objections to nullification one at a time.

He’s also penned several e-books, including The Power of No: The Historical and Constitutional Basis for State Nullification to Limit Federal Power and Its Practical Application, The Constitution and the Report of 1800, and The Jefferson Letters, Vol. 1: Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions.

Michael hosts his own podcast, Thoughts from Maharrey Head, as well as the Friday Gold Wrap podcast.

Michael earned a degree in Mass Communications and Media Studies from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. As a non-traditional student, he won several academic awards and was a member of the school’s ethics bowl team that placed eighth in the nation. Mike played for the USF ice hockey team at the ripe old age of 40, earning American Collegiate Hockey Association Academic All-American honors. He also holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Kentucky. Along with his formal schooling, he’s had the opportunity to associate with and study under some of the top academics in constitutional history and America’s founding principles.

Michael speaks at events across the United States, and frequently appears as a guest on local, national and international radio shows advancing constitutional fidelity and liberty through decentralization.

As a working journalist, Michael has written and reported for several newspapers, including the St. Petersburg Times, The Woodford Sun, and the Kentucky Gazette, covering local and state politics, and sports. Michael won a pair of 2009 Kentucky Press Association awards while serving as the sports editor for the Woodford Sun in 2009. He also worked for WLEX, NBC’s Lexington, Kentucky, affiliate writing web content for the station’s award-winning news website.

Michael lives in sunny Yulee, Florida, with his beautiful wife Cynthia, and has two daughters and a son. Although a native Kentuckian, he spent much of his adult life in Florida and considers the Sunshine state his adopted home. In his spare time, he still plays ice hockey and is equally passionate about defending the Constitution and his crease.
