I think a libertarian evangelical Christian would need a lot of therapy. Talking about concurrently entertaining two basically incompatible ideas...

Not in my experience. If you start with the idea that libertarianism is a political philosophy, and definitely not a theology, then it's possible.

I've known a few evangelicals who considered their theology to be personal and not social. And who, while not having a political bone in their body, could have been libertarians.

And, on another related point there is a movement, not certain how large, of evangelicals who don't favor the current social and cultural positions of the present dominant voice. They think of themselves as on the left.
