Does Following Jesus Make You An Anarchist? Faith, Liberty, and Punk Music with Ben Weir
Description
Jacob Winograd talks with Ben Weir, founder of Punks for Liberty, about what it really means to live free under Christ’s rule instead of man’s. The two dig into the tension between faith and rebellion—what anarchy looks like when it’s not chaos, but love lived out without coercion. Ben shares his story of going from infantry soldier to touring punk musician to Christian anarchist, reflecting on how music, conviction, and faith all meet at the crossroads of liberty and grace.
Jacob and Ben unpack misconceptions about anarchy, the exhaustion of political tribalism, and the soul rot that comes from trusting in power instead of God. They talk about what it means to stand apart from the world without hardening your heart, and why Jesus’ compassion and defiance both matter for how we live today. From the tears of a Savior who cared deeply to the righteous anger that turned over tables, they show how the Gospel has always been a challenge to every empire—ancient or modern.
