Episode Details

Angela McArdle shares her journey from a Christian missionary upbringing and a degree in organizational leadership at Biola University, through early work in litigation and community service — including volunteering on Skid Row with homeless veterans — to becoming chair of the LA County Libertarian Party after an unsuccessful but formative Congressional run. She reflects on how the COVID-19 debacle reshaped her friendships and values around community and shared principles, and discusses her current outreach to the Bitcoin community. Along the way, she makes the case that Christians can't afford to sit out politics, even though it's messy and corrupting, and explores how the anti-war movement is realigning across the political spectrum, with libertarianism emerging as common ground that unites people from otherwise opposing camps.
