{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Bad Roman","slug":"thebadroman","podcastDescription":"Are you a Christian who feels disillusioned by politics?\n\nDo you see political systems—whether democratic, authoritarian, or otherwise—promising change but often leaving you unfulfilled? As followers of Christ, our calling isn’t tied to any earthly power; it’s to live like Jesus, no matter the political landscape.\n\nOn this podcast, we explore what it means to set aside man-made allegiances—be they national, partisan, or ideological—and instead take up the Cross. Host Craig Harguess, a former neoconservative Southern Baptist Republican turned pacifist and Christian Voluntaryist, delves into the complex relationship between faith and political power. Through conversations with everyday Christians, church leaders, and even non-Christians, we challenge the ways politics can distract us from God’s work. True change starts where we are—because when we live like Christ, the world around us shifts, regardless of who holds power.\n\nNew episodes release bi-weekly.\n\nLearn more at www.thebadroman.com.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/7566994/BR_podcast_logo.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/7566994/BR_podcast_logo_1200x628.jpg?s=4fd242ea796c38ffbec8de79cf56afe3&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://thebadroman.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thebadroman/feed.xml","theme":"double-tree","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-vqmci-737692?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":153,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Craig Harguess","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-vqmci-737692-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bad-roman/id1501094492","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"YouTube","link":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Mg7H8-v2c&list=PLY4wP5GEyqFHrTLdSKr0KdaWyAvTB5D5-&pp=gAQBiAQB","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/youtube_logo.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-vqmci-737692?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7cTGH924R62n6pheR9Nesd?si=3db78c6220484dab","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8e99588-51af-42da-acca-ab9414015605","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/News--Politics-Podcasts/The-Bad-Roman-p1299701/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/60472376","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/2641411","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-bad-roman-2313555","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/76322","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Oswald"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#EE6868"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/srrtwn/BR_High_Res_Logo42b70bc8-0392-c658-ece1-5f3cbe7d5795.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
