It's Not Left vs. Right: Music, God & Governments with Ancap Tim
Ancap Tim returns to discuss his new album, It’s Not Left vs. Right, and the story behind the song inspired by the phrase, “Sometimes being a good Christian means being a bad Roman.”
Drawing from his life as a musician, homesteader, homeschooling father, and Christian anarchist, Tim explains why allegiance to Jesus must come before allegiance to government, party, or nation.
This is not a call to become more anti-government. It is a call to become more like Christ.
They dig into:
The story behind “Sometimes Being a Good Christian Means Being a Bad Roman”
Why Matthew 20:25–28 challenges domination and political power
How love offers an alternative to coercion
Why Christian discipleship must remain voluntary
The difference between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world
How music, humor, homesteading, and ordinary faithfulness can become acts of resistance
Can Christians seek power over their neighbors while following a King who knelt to wash feet? Can love be commanded, enforced, or legislated? What does “Not so with you” mean in a church shaped by political fear and tribal loyalty? Let’s talk about it.
