In this era of information overload it's easy to join the ranks of the too online, filtering our every thought through the latest thing Trump tweeted or how the resistance is reacting. And it's just as easy to check out entirely and pretend like the news doesn't matter or, if it does, it'll have to be someone else's problem for now. Are there healthier ways to approach the news? How can we maintain sanity in a seemingly endless supply of hot takes and outrage-of-the-moments?   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by Avi Woolf, JB Shreve, and Blake Fischer as they discuss how to consume the news responsibly.   About the Panelists   Avi Woolf is a writer, editor, translator, and podcaster whose work has been published in Arc Digital, Commentary, National Review, The Bulwark, and The Dispatch.  He was chief editor of the online Medium publication Conservative Pathways, and he—in his words—"hopes to help forge a path for a conservatism which is relevant for the 21st century while not abandoning the best of past wisdom.”  Avi hosts his own podcast entitled Avi's Conversational Corner, a podcast on culture, history, and politics in a broad perspective.  You can find Avi on Twitter @AviWoolf   JB Shreve hosts two podcasts and blogs. JB Shreve & Faithful Considerations includes devotionals and bible studies, while JB Shreve & the End of History looks at our generation's current events, history, and socio-political issues.  JB has written two books: How the World Ends: Understanding the Growing Chaos published in 2019 and his latest book Politically Incorrect: Real Faith in an Era of Unreal Politics.   Blake Fischer is a political junkie, so you don't necessarily have to be. A lifelong conservative, Blake covers conservative policies, current politics, and the historical context of today's events. With a unique blend of media critique and a focus on the big issues that often go unaddressed, Blake offers insightful solutions to pressing problems without the fear-mongering or populist outrage used in mainstream political media.  Blake lives in Oklahoma and is the creator of The Homeless Conservative.   Listener Mail Josh responds to listener mail from two fellow podcasters both asking whether it's time to ditch the GOP for good.   Dennis Sanders is host of the Church and Main podcast, exploring where religion intersects with 21st-century public life with a focus on the story of Mainline Protestantism.  Calvin Moore's podcast is brand new and follows the historical accounts of the many people who ran for president and came up short.  

One of the strangest political developments over the past several decades has been the devolution of the Religious Right and large swaths of politically active Evangelicals as they morphed from character counts moralists of the 1990s to MAGA Trumplicans.  Regardless of the merits of where the Religious Right stands today, one could be forgiven for being perplexed at how they arrived here at all.   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is JB Shreve, creator of The End of History podcast and blog, to demystify the Religious Right's conversion to the Church of Trump.  Both JB and Josh were raised in the cultural milieu of Evangelical conservatism and have an insider's perspective on what went so wrong on the Religious Right.   About JB Shreve JB Shreve spent his life in the highlands of western Arkansas, where he and his wife Casie raised their three children.  JB worked in international ministry between 1998 and 2008 in various roles with organizations such as Bill Glass Prison Ministries, Christian Motorcyclists Association, and Open Doors with Brother Andrew.   After securing his degrees in International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Fulbright College and King Fahd Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Arkansas, JB went to work in the corporate business sector.   In 2005, JB and his family moved to northwest Arkansas, where they joined a team to build a new church Transformation Center.  JB continues in an active leadership role at Transformation Center.   JB hosts two podcasts and blogs. JB Shreve & Faithful Considerations includes devotionals and bible studies, while JB Shreve & the End of History looks at our generation's current events, history, and socio-political issues.  JB has written two books: How the World Ends: Understanding the Growing Chaos published in 2019 and his latest book Politically Incorrect: Real Faith in an Era of Unreal Politics.  

There are moments in life that define us. In this natural realm, they may appear as mere random moments, opportunities, or forks in the road - if we even consider them at all. But in the design of God, these defining moments of grace make us who we are (or who we are not). In this final episode in the series on Grace - The Energy of God, JB Shreve looks at the parable of the sower and the life of Esau to explore the difference in perspectives regarding these defining moments of grace. We encourage you to join us for each episode in this podcast series and your personal Bible Study as we spend the month discovering Grace – The Energy of God!

What do you think of when you think of grace? Unmerited favor? Forgiveness? Charity? This episode is the first in a new series we will look at throughout this month. The grace of God is so much more than most of us realize or have been taught. Grace is the energy of God that He uses not only to save us but to change us and shape us. In this podcast episode, JB Shreve explains that if you make the grace of God your primary focus this year, you will see the changes in your life you have been looking for!

This is the third episode in our podcast series, walking through the book of Ephesians. In this episode JB Shreve looks at the grace of God as a component of His favor and power that goes beyond salvation to alter our understanding and interactions with reality and truth.For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)Follow our podcast series on the book of Ephesians at JBShreve.com.

On this episode of the Bear Grease Podcast, Brent Reaves and Clay Newcomb hit the two-lane highways and byways of America in search of taxidermy in gas stations. This type of public display of bucks, bears and ducks is becoming rarer - and we're in search of why. The public display of taxidermy is something deep in the root system of American identity and symbolic of a way of life. The American gas station at one time acted as the “town square” and relational hub of small communities, but things are changing. We'll talk with podcaster, JB Shreve about how the oil and gas industry has impacted America since World War 1, and we'll also talk with an expert on the tangible effects of social capital on communities, but not before the crew makes finds incredible gas-station bucks and people. Get a cold fountain drink and buckle up because we're about roll down the road – we doubt you're going to want to miss this one.

JB Shreve & the End of History - truth based Christian insight on today's global issues It is easy to imagine the perpetrators of the holocaust as vile, wicked, evil people.
