Welcome to The Fix Liberty Project! We explore the fundamental principles of liberty and morality upon which a free society stands and thrives.
The Fix Liberty Project is created and hosted by Ross Brown. Ross is a Christian, husband, and father who bridges liberty and morality to stir American cultural values.
We build community at The Fix Liberty Project by hosting live discussions via Zoom and online discussions via Facebook. If you spend a little time here, you will find that our discussions are… different. Like many, we hold strong convictions, but we reject the toxicity which plagues American social and political discourse today. We the People are not enemies of one another; we are, rather, like pitiful sheep without a shepherd. We yearn for effective leadership inside and outside of politics, yet we endure failing worldly leadership which defines itself mostly by what it is against.
At The Fix Liberty Project, we define ourselves by what we are for. We generally promote classically liberal ideas in the context of a Christian worldview. Classically liberal Christians will feel right at home on this platform. But our doors are open to every reasonable person who engages others in good faith. You don’t have to be a classical liberal or a Christian to hang out here. In true form, we welcome competing ideas.
Unfortunately, not every platform is fond of competing ideas — including those espoused by classically liberal Christians. We cannot depend on third-party platform algorithms to keep us connected, so we do not depend on them. Direct email communication is the most reliable way for us to stay connected.
Accordingly, The Fix Liberty Project sends out a weekly email newsletter called Cutting Through the Noise every Sunday morning at 7:00 AM CST. The newsletter primarily consists of a curation of Facebook posts made by The Fix Liberty Project in the previous week. It is a popular publication among subscribers!

I was in ๐จ๐ฆ Canada this last week spending some quality time with my family, doing a bit of ๐ฃ fishing, and (yes) enjoying some ๐คค tasty treats. I also read ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ท๐ฐ๐ณ by Timothy Keller as I took a break from my normal routines. It was great to ๐ฎโ๐จ rest, have some ๐คฉ fun, and recharge my batteries. And now that I'm home, it's also great to be ๐ช back at it!

๐ "What reward is most proper for promoting the practice of truth, justice, and humanity?--The confidence, the esteem, and love of those we live with. Humanity does not desire to be great, but to be beloved. It is not in being rich that truth and justice would rejoice, but in being trusted and believed, recompenses which those virtues must almost always acquireโฆ [T]he practice of truth, justice, and humanity is a certain and almost infallible method of acquiring what those virtues chiefly aim at, the confidence and love of those we live with." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด by Adam Smith (Part 3, Section 1, Chapter 5)

๐ "Once you admit that the individual is merely a means to serve the ends of the higher entity called society or the nation, most of those features of totalitarian regimes which horrify us follow of necessity. From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual, are essential and unavoidable consequences of this basic premise, and the collectivist can admit this and at the same time claim that his system is superior to one in which the 'selfish' interests of the individual are allowed to obstruct the full realization of the ends the community pursues." -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฎ by Friedrich Hayek (The Definitive Edition, p. 168)

๐ โTo be made in the image of God means that weโre rife with potential. We have the Divineโs capacity in our DNA. Weโre ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ God. We were created to โimageโ his behavior, to ๐ณ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฆ like he does, to gather up the raw materials of our planet and reshape them into a world for human beings to flourish and thrive. But thatโs only half the story. Weโre also made from the dirt, 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust': weโre the original biodegradable containers. Which means weโre born with limitations. Weโre not God. Weโre mortal, not immortal. Finite, not infinite. Image and dust. Potential and limitations.โ -๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐บ by John Mark Comer (p. 63)
