The state is not broken. It is working exactly as designed. Every Sunday, Mike Shaner takes one idea the state needs you to leave alone — voluntaryism, property, war, money, faith, food freedom — and argues it out loud in plain English. No hedging. No both-sides theater. Listen right here, or follow the show on Apple Podcasts and every new episode lands on its own.

Season 1, Episode 1 — How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?
Published August 10, 2026 · 18 min
People ask this more than any other question — sometimes as a challenge, sometimes as a real wound. Mike’s answer is not clever: he never came to Christ to avoid hell, he came because grace pulled him out of a prison he built himself. On fear as the worst possible reason to believe, on separation from God as a choice rather than a sentence, and on refusing to rank anyone’s sins above your own.
