Cody Lawrence, host of the Spare No Arrows podcast, is a prominent voice against contemporary ideologies that threaten traditional values. Lawrence articulates a vision of courage that transcends mere bravado, advocating for a selfless commitment to truth and righteousness inspired by historical Christian principles. The discussion extends to the cultural phenomena of the 'woke right,' which Lawrence critiques as a misalignment of true conservative values, prompting an in-depth analysis of what it means to be a man of integrity in today's society. Throughout the conversation, the importance of understanding and articulating opposing views is emphasized, as is the call to restore a culture rooted in biblical truths. Takeaways:True conservatism means conserving truth, while progressivism involves moving away from or beyond biblical truth.Churches following scripture above government, popularity, and money are key to addressing cultural problems.Understanding opponents' arguments thoroughly is crucial for developing stronger positions and having meaningful discussions.Modern church problems stem from prioritizing numbers and attendance over biblical truth and faithful teaching.Scripture should be the ultimate authority above historical Christianity, tradition, or contemporary cultural movements.EVOLUTION VIDEOWatch on YouTubeShare on XCONNECT WITH CODYSpare No Arrows on YouTubeAntioch Declaration BreakdownFollow Cody on XThe Antioch DeclarationMENTIONED IN THIS PODAST"The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt

In this episode, we explore the rich cultural legacy of Black American music, focusing on the evolution from slave seculars—non-religious songs of survival, work, and resistance—to the development of the blues. Through stories, historical insights, and music, we uncover how enslaved African Americans used music to communicate, preserve their identity, and confront hardship. They also used their traditional expression to resist and revolt against ideologies and beliefs not part of their traditions. We also highlight the contributions of early folklorists, musicians, and modern artists who continue to keep these traditions alive. Join us as we celebrate the resilience and creativity that shaped American music and culture.

In this Episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Laurie Marker, the founder and Executive Director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). Founded in Namibia in 1990, CCF has become the leading authority in cheetah conservation globally, with projects across Somaliland, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa and Botswana. Beyond Africa, CCF also has supported the conservation of the last remaining Asiatic cheetahs in Iran. Meanwhile, the CCF has assisted the Indian government and the Wildlife Trust of India with the reintroduction of cheetahs into Kuno National Park. Listed as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN Red List, the cheetah faces a plethora of threats, ranging from human-wildlife conflict, the illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss and a lack of genetic diversity. Dr. Marker and I discuss the measures CCF has taken to tackle these threats, which include cheetah rescue and rehabilitation, cheetah genetics research, alternative livelihood programs and livestock protection projects. Dr. Marker also elaborates in detail about CCF's role in the reintroduction of cheetahs to India.

The Asiatic Lion is probably India's finest conservation miracles. With less than 100 individuals remaining in the wild in the 1960s, the population has skyrocketed with an estimated 600-800 lions roaming the forests of Saurashtra. In 2018, over 50 lions were lost due to an outbreak of the canine distemper disease. Moreover, the range of the Gir lion has spread well beyond the forests of Gir National Park, with prides often found wandering urban landscapes in Saurashtra. This poses a risk of human-lion conflict, which till now has been relatively limited.In Episode 6 of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I am joined by India's leading lion biologist, Dr. Venkatraman, the founder of Carnivore Conservation and Research. She has over 20 years of experience as a wildlife biologists and studied the behavioural ecology of the Asiatic Lion. We talk about her intriguing work on lion ecology and conservation.

The Garden of Extinction, 10/14/24 by Missy Harris (she/her) Co-Pastor, Circle of Mercy Congregation I came home from Cape Town, South Africa three weeks ago today. I haven't even had time to think about and process all that I experienced there. It feels like 17 lifetimes ago. But it's only been 17 days. We visited a beautiful place.

In Episode 5 of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I am joined by Mayank Shukla, Anshita Das and Arjun Srivathsa from The Dhole Project. Launched in 2016, The Dhole Project aims to conduct research on Asiatic wild dogs or ‘dholes' to better understand their ecological requirements and protect their populations in India.The dhole is one of India's most charismatic predators, with their range spreading across southern, central India. Listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List, the dhole faces numerous threats, including rampant habitat fragmentation, free ranging dogs and inbreeding. In this episode we cover the ecology and conservation of dhole in India, particularly in the agroforestry landscape of Valparai. We also talk about The Dhole Project's research on dhole genetics and human-wild canid interactions! The Dhole Project is currently running a campaign to raise INR 200,000 (2 lakhs) to fund the next stage of their fieldwork. Additionally, 30% of the revenue from optional subscriptions to The Think Wildlife Podcast in this episode will be donated to the project.Meet the HostAnish Banerjee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anish-banerjee-79ba63189/Think Wildlife Foundation: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Meet the GuestsArjun Srivathsa: http://www.arjunsrivathsa.com/Arjun is a DST INSPIRE Fellow at the National Centre for Biological Sciences–TIFR, Bengaluru and Affiliate Scientist at Wildlife Conservation Society–India.Anshita Das: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anshita-das/Anshita is affiliated with The Dhole Project at Wildlife Conservation Society–India.

In August 2022,  I had the very good fortune to explore the mountains of Dras, Kargil in search of one of India's rarest terrestrial mammals - the Himalayan Brown Bear. Listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List, there are less than 500 individuals remaining in the wild scattered across Western Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains. Drass in the Kargil District of Ladakh and the neighbouring Deosai National Park in Pakistan remain their largest stronghold (tune in to this episode to learn why this region is so attractive for the bears!)The future of the Himalayan Brown Bear lies in the balance with climate change causing significant disruption across the Himalayas. Changing climate patterns is altering the flowering of berries and other plants, reducing the availability of food for these omnivorous bears. This has significant implications for the ecology of brown bear. In fact, studies have found that both, the hibernation patterns of the Himalayan Brown Bear and the Asiatic Black Bear have been altered due to rising temperatures and reduce snowfall. Additionally, the bears have become significantly more reliant on livestock as food, hence exacerbating human-bear conflict. The Himalayan Brown Bears also are threatened by severe habitat loss and degradation. Sadly, both the bears, and their habitat were collateral damage of the 1999 Kargil War. In the present scenario, haphazard development across the Himalayas has also further fragmented their habitats. The added pressure of free ranging dogs is a major threat to the biodiversity of Ladakh.In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I interview Niaz Hassan Khan, a PhD Scholar at the Wildlife Institute of India. We talk about his work on Himalayan Brown Bears in Kargil and the way forward for their conservation.

On today's show horticulturist Noelle Johnson offers easy ways to save water and have a beautiful yard — even amongst challenging climatic conditions.    Here's a preview: [5:00] Globally, less rain is falling. And simultaneously the planet is desertifying. What are the consequences? [11:00] Exactly why rainwater is better for our plants than water from the hose, plus: 3 ways to effectively capture rainwater [15:00] Did you know you can repurpose gray water in your yard? (I sure didn't!) [26:00] Musings on lawns [32:00] 7 ways to use less water in your vegetable garden (hint: raised beds require more water!)   Resources mentioned: Episode #137: The Global Water Crisis Episode #500: Rebuilding Your Village The Water-Smart Garden: Techniques and Strategies for Conserving, Capturing, and Efficiently Using Water in Today's Climate... and Tomorrow's Noelle on Instagram   This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting!

Tasmania, the land of the endangered Tasmanian Devil and the extinct Tasmanian tiger, is one of Australia's most biodiverse regions. Various species of possums, wallabies, seals, penguins, and platypus roam the island state.  Unfortunately, the region's rich ecosystem is under severe threat from habitat clearance and degradation, amplified by the spread of invasive plants and feral mammals.The Tasmanian Land Conservancy is at the forefront of conservation in Tasmania, with the vision of transforming  Tasmania into a global leader in nature conservation. TLC is working extensively at the grassroots level to protect and expand conservation reserves in the region. In this episode, I interview James Hattam to discuss the projects TLC has undertaken to conserve the region's precious biodiversity. This is a public episode.

John Michelotti rejoins the Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley podcast to continue his mission to spread information about the incredible benefits of fungi, and their capacity to change the way we look at our relationships with each other and the world. John is the founder of Catskill Fungi, which produces health tinctures from fungi that are wild-crafted or grown on the Michelotti family farm in Big Indian, NY. John co-founded the Catskill Regional Mycoflora Project, serves as Medicinal Mushroom Committee Chair, and is a Poison Control Consultant for the North American Mycological Association. He describes the various parts of a mushroom (e.g. gills, pores, teeth, etc.) that produce spores which are the way that fungi reproduce. He recommends that mushrooms be cooked for us to get the nutritional benefits. In addition to food uses, mushrooms can be used medicinally. Certifications are required to sell mushrooms commercially. People can become quite ill if they consume mushrooms that are not safe to eat. Some mushrooms can also be deadly. Traceability is key to understand the source of the mushrooms, especially when sold to restaurants.Foragers are encouraged to have liability insurance if they plan to sell mushrooms. Knowledge about how to identify mushrooms is key if you want to find mushrooms for personal use. Mushroom walks and conferences are great sources of information. Fungi break down plants. Anything that is plant-based can potentially be decomposed by mushrooms and make good soil in the process. Conserving soil and habitat is key to protecting fungi in the future, especially with the risks of climate change. Understanding fungi brings us closer to better understanding the interconnection being all members of the universe. Learn about the incredible benefits of fungi, and their capacity to change the way we look at our relationships with each other and the world. Get inspired to grow edible mushrooms as a source of fresh food, heal yourself by using the health properties of fungi, and explore the historic uses and present-day innovations of the fungal kingdom.

Being a Black architect in the white-male-dominated 20th century was tough.  You were paid less, worked harder, and rarely got any credit.  That is, if you could get hired at all. For example, by 1950 there were only two Black architects registered in North Carolina, both male. By 1980 the number was only 65 out of 1909. Even by 1993, Black architects made up only 7.5% nationally.  Today we'll hear from Charles McAfee, considered by many to be the greatest living African-American architect. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, supported by the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles, is working to share and elevate the achievements of African-American architects, both men and women.  We'll talk with the director that program, Brent Leggs.  Later on, great jazz with Jaimee Paul.

Chris Barnard, the president of the American Conservation Coalition, wrote our Pro-Child Politics chapter on "The Environment." Listen to his insights on why "conserving" the environment actually protects human flourishing, while the more new fangled idea of "preserving" the environment leads to more death and destruction.

How does human-related sound impact wildlife around us? From trails to roads to cities, this question propels Dr. Jesse Barber, a leader in the emerging field of sensory ecology. Jesse Barber is a professor of biological sciences at Boise State University. He was recently appointed as the chief conservation curator and chief conservation scientist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In today's episode, Barber joins Lesli Allison, CEO of Western Landowners Alliance, for a fascinating conversation about the field of sensory ecology, the role of private lands in sustaining a teaming realm of life largely invisible to humans, and its implications for land management and public policy.

Episode 3293: Steve Pavlina illustrates how conserving mental energy by routinizing mundane decisions can significantly enhance productivity and creativity. Drawing inspiration from President Obama's habits, Pavlina encourages focusing mental resources on high-impact tasks by automating low-priority choices, ultimately leading to more meaningful and effective use of one's mental energy. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2014/02/conserving-mental-energy/ Quotes to ponder: "Routinize your mundane daily decisions, so you can wisely invest more of your precious mental energy in your high-impact goals and projects." "When you avoid investing your creative energy in low-impact decisions, you free up that creative energy to be put to good use elsewhere." "It's well established that your daily mental resources are limited and fatigable."

In this episode, I start off with talking about low potassium aka hypokalemia. I am working on increasing my potassium and I did not realize all the huge critical health benefits and body functions that potassium offers. I thought I share that with my listeners. I then go into the life of Herbet Stoddard the main focus of our show. Herbert Stoddard was a man of many professions. Taxidermist, citizen ornithologist trained by professionals, and forest ecologist. Herbet Stoddard with the friendship of Aldo Leopold, William McAtee, Paul Errington, Ed Komarek, and others fought against the mainstream in the defense of fire ecology, wildlife, and future conservation. Herbet L. Stoddard founded Tall Timber Research Station and today carries on the legacy of Herbet Stoddard. I hope you enjoy the episode!Check out the book, "Conserving the Southern Longleaf" by Albert. G Wayhttps://www.amazon.com/Conserving-Southern-Longleaf-Ecological-Environmental/dp/0820340170

In this epsidoe, we continue on where we left off from part 1. I read from "Conserving the Southern Longleaf" chapter 7 the foundations of Tall Timbers. I continue to read from Herbert Stoddards publication, "The Bobwhite Quail". As I read from botht these books a sense of gratefulness and gratitude fell upon me for the folks that came before us. Let us be grateful for those that sacrified in conservation for what we have today.

The FowlWeather Podcast welcomes John Devney, policy guru with Delta Waterfowl Foundation to talk action on the prairies to conserve duck habitat. Policies differ greatly between the US and Canada, and John takes us down the rabbit hole about ways to conserve wetlands in prairie Canada. We also lean hard into what Delta is doing to study duck population biology to inform duck harvest policy and management.
