On the 1819 News radio show, the maverick host of A Neighbor’s Choice lit up the airwaves with a conversation that moved from Jesus and tyranny to marriage covenants and metabolic freedom — and somehow, it all connected. Because with Gornoski, it always does.
Incarnational Christianity: Where Heaven Hits the Dirt
Gornoski opened with a blazing critique of what he calls “cotton candy Christianity” — the soft, sentimental, powerless version of the gospel that comforts the empire and cowers before Caesar. Real Christianity, he argues, is incarnational. It steps into the muck and the blood, refuses to scapegoat, and bears witness to truth even when it costs everything. Christ didn’t die to prop up a political system. He died to expose it — and to free the victim. This isn’t about good vibes and fish bumper stickers. It’s about real-world disruption — starting with the human heart and ending in how we live, eat, marry, and resist.
Tyranny Doesn’t Scale in the Age of Innovation
How do we fight back against the creeping hand of modern technocratic control? Gornoski points to decentralized innovation — the growing tools of resistance that make tyranny obsolete. Whether it’s crypto undermining central banks, regenerative farming breaking Big Ag’s grip, or decentralized media unseating narrative gatekeepers, the machine is breaking down from below. “We don’t need to take the White House,” he says. “We need to stop feeding the beast and start building alternatives.”
Marriage Liberation and the End of Bureaucratic Love
On the topic of law and family, Gornoski didn’t hold back. He celebrated Alabama’s proposed Marriage Liberation Act, a revolutionary shift that removes state control from marriage and returns it to covenant, conscience, and community. It’s about more than paperwork. It’s about reclaiming the sacred. No more no-fault divorces with rubber-stamped custody battles. This is a move toward real accountability, especially for those who put children first. If marriage is serious, why is it run by family court bureaucrats? Gornoski says: Let the people take it back.
The Seed Oil Revolution: You Are What You Eat
And of course, no Gornoski appearance would be complete without a jab at the toxins in our food. He hailed the Seed Oil Revolution — the growing grassroots movement to reject toxic industrial oils (like canola and soybean) and return to ancestral fats like butter, tallow, and olive oil. It’s not just about diet. It’s about metabolic sovereignty. “Our bodies are being hijacked,” Gornoski said. “But we can fight back — one steak, one egg, one tablespoon of tallow at a time.”
The Gospel is Not Safe — It’s Dangerous
What ties it all together? For Gornoski, it’s the radical reality of Jesus Christ — not a religious mascot, but the subversive King who unmasks the powers and invites us into a new way of being human. The gospel, he says, doesn’t ask for Sunday attendance. It demands everything — how you live, how you love, how you eat, how you raise your kids, and how you resist the systems of death.
So if you’re tired of politics-as-usual, church-as-theater, and food-as-poison, tune in. Because David Gornoski isn’t playing games. He’s pointing to a world where truth is embodied, tyranny is obsolete, and freedom begins at the dinner table, in your home, and in your heart.
