Freedom & Independence in Christ with Mike Maharrey
Craig welcomes back Mike Maharrey for an engaging discussion on the intersection of Christianity, government, and economics. Ever wondered how inflation and taxation really impact your daily life? Mike breaks it down, tracing the effects of monetary policy from the Great Recession to today.
They dive into how the Federal Reserve’s actions, like printing money and keeping interest rates low, have led to economic issues that both major political parties support. They also tackle tariffs, especially those from the Trump era, explaining how they end up being a tax on consumers.
But it’s not just about economics. Craig and Mike explore the importance of resisting unconstitutional laws and the role of Christians in standing up for their beliefs. In this Fourth of July episode, they reflect on what true independence means beyond the fireworks and barbecues.
This episode is a mix of history, economics, and moral questioning, offering a thought-provoking look at how government policies and personal faith intersect. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that will make you rethink your views on government and faith.
