The Gap in Conservative Christian Engagement with Environmental Issues

Andrew Spencer, author of 'Hope for God's Creation, Stewardship in an Age of Futility,' discusses the gap in conservative Christian engagement with environmental issues. He explains that the gap emerged due to the liberal evolution of environmental ethics and the borrowing of language from progressive Christian thinkers. Spencer emphasizes the importance of answering four fundamental questions: the value and origin of the created order, the human place within creation, and the end goal of creation. He highlights the need for Christians to engage in positive ways, balance economic and environmental trade-offs, and promote substantial healing rather than pursuing perfection. Spencer also advocates for the embrace of nuclear energy as a means to increase human flourishing and address environmental concerns. Takeaways The gap in conservative Christian engagement with environmental issues emerged due to the liberal evolution of environmental ethics and the borrowing of language from progressive Christian thinkers. Answering four fundamental questions about the value and origin of the created order, the human place within creation, and the end goal of creation is crucial for developing a Christian environmental ethic. Christians should engage in positive ways, balance economic and environmental trade-offs, and pursue substantial healing rather than perfection in their stewardship of the environment. Nuclear energy has the potential to increase human flourishing and address environmental concerns, but it requires regulatory reform and a focus on cost-effectiveness and waste management. Conservatives and Christians should promote a narrative that values both human life and the environment, highlighting the importance of responsible stewardship and the pursuit of the common good.

Restoring Everglades Whitetails: Inside Florida’s Bold Deer Reintroduction Project With Mike Elfenbein

A groundbreaking Everglades conservation mission reveals what it really takes to rebuild a wild deer population. Kenia heads deep into the Florida Everglades to follow one of the most ambitious wildlife restoration efforts happening anywhere in the country: the Everglades Deer Reintroduction Project. Host Kenia sits down with Mike Elfenbein of the Isaac Walton League’s Cypress Chapter to break down how a massive landscape, once home to thriving white-tailed deer herds, lost nearly all of its deer over the last two decades, and what it takes to put them back. Listeners will get an insider look at the real fieldwork behind the project, including darting wild whitetails, conducting genetic testing, fitting GPS tracking collars, and relocating healthy deer into 45,000 acres of restored habitat. Mike explains how high water levels, predation from Florida panthers and pythons, and decades of water-management changes reshaped the ecosystem, and why science-driven collaboration with tribes, ranchers, hunters, and conservationists is key to recovering the species. From wildlife biology and land management to the emotional moments of releasing deer back into historic habitat, this conversation blends conservation storytelling, whitetail behavior insights, and the kind of practical big-picture learning that resonates with lifelong hunters, aspiring outdoorsmen, and anyone who cares about wild places. Follow along as Kenia and Mike unpack what today’s work means for the future of whitetail hunting, Everglades conservation, and species restoration projects across America.

TSV Roundup Week of August 18th, 2025

From Florida’s first black bear hunt in a decade to new pheasant camps in the Plains, Fred Bird breaks down your weekly outdoor news and the biggest stories in hunting, fishing, and conservation across the nation. We kick off with Florida’s black bear hunt returning for the first time in 10 years. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission voted unanimously to reinstate a highly regulated season with limited tags and fair-chase methods, marking a major win for science-based wildlife management. In Delaware, Governor Matt Meyer officially joins the Governor’s Sportsmen’s Caucus, strengthening bipartisan support for hunting, angling, and outdoor heritage at the state and national level. Meanwhile, Western states face conservation funding challenges, with agencies in Washington and Oregon navigating historic budget shortfalls that could impact hatcheries, pheasant programs, and wildlife access. On a brighter note, new hunter opportunities are launching in the Great Plains, including South Dakota’s first youth deer camp and Nebraska’s ladies pheasant hunt program—designed to mentor and recruit the next generation of outdoorsmen and women. Finally, we highlight a prescribed fire project in Kentucky’s Daniel Boone National Forest, a critical initiative to restore white oak habitat, strengthen wildlife populations, and support industries like bourbon and wood products.

TSV Roundup Week of June 10th, 2024

Title: TSV Roundup Week of June 10th, 2024 Narrative: In this week’s episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, our host Fred Bird covers all the news fit to print related to conservation and legislation in the sporting community. The main themes include a CSF priority conservation funding protection, the expansion of hunter harassment prohibition, the authorization of dogs to retrieve wounded deer in Louisiana, the failure of a sin tax bill in Connecticut, the need for better angler data collection in the Gulf States, the failure of a bill to ban hunting contests in Illinois, and a feel-good story about the California Sportsmen's Caucus trap shoot. Takeaways CSF priority conservation funding protection in Louisiana is a significant win for hunters and anglers, as it ensures reimbursement for lost revenue from free and discounted licenses. Reimbursement to Fish and Wildlife Agencies for Free and Discounted Licenses – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation Expanding the prohibition against hunter harassment in Louisiana provides additional protection for hunters, anglers, and trappers on state-managed lands and waters. The authorization of dogs to retrieve wounded deer in Louisiana allows hunters to recover mortally wounded deer and prevent spoilage. Use of Tracking Dogs to Recover Game – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation The failure of a sin tax bill in Connecticut is a victory for law-abiding citizens who would have been burdened with additional taxes on firearms and ammunition. Improving angler data collection in the Gulf States is crucial for accurate estimates of angler effort and harvest, which can impact fishing seasons and eco-tourism. The failure of a bill to ban hunting contests in Illinois means that such contests can continue, but it may be a topic worth addressing proactively in the future. Predator Hunting/Tournament Bans – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation The California Sportsmen's Caucus trap shoot is a positive event that brings together sportsmen and legislators to celebrate hunting and shooting traditions.

TSV Roundup Week of October 28th, 2024

In this special episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, the LAST one before the election, host Fred Bird discusses the importance of voting in the upcoming elections, particularly for hunters, anglers, target shooters, trappers and other sportsmen and women in key conservation battleground states like Colorado and Florida. Hear from Travis Thompson and Mark Lance who discuss Florida’s Amendment 2 RTHF Amendment and Dan Gates who speaks about Colorado’s Proposition 127 and emphasizes the need for informed voting and civic responsibility, urging listeners to get OUT of the tree stand or OFF the water for Election Day and participate actively in the electoral process. Takeaways Vote NO On Colorado Proposition 127: Proposition 127 poses significant risks to wildlife management in Colorado. The vote will come down to getting out the vote and rely on community engagement in educating voters about Prop 127, meanwhile, voter fatigue is a risk. Vote YES On Florida Amendment 2: Amendment 2 aims to establish the right to hunt and fish in Florida, and the odds look great with recent polling showing strong public support nearly 67%. Myths surrounding Amendment 2 include impacts on private property rights, which are unfounded.

TSV Roundup Week of August 26th, 2024

This week's roundup lead story covers the East Coast legislative sportsmen's caucuses' efforts to address the vessel strike rule on North Atlantic Right Whales. Fred and CSF’s own Conner Barker report on the potential economic impact of the vessel strike reduction rule, as well as the safety concerns for boaters, along with the rule's inconsistency with states’ approved plans. Fred then covers all the news updates related to wildlife management and hunting around the nation, including the No-Net-Loss policy and dove hunting seasons. The No-Net-Loss policy aims to limit the loss of access to hunting and fishing opportunities by establishing a minimum acreage of publicly owned areas open to sportsmen and women. Several states have implemented this policy, while others are still working through legislative options. And, with fall in the air, dove hunting seasons - which are the first fall hunting opportunity for many hunters - are coming along with your pumpkin spice lattes. Fred highlights that dove hunting is an approachable entry point for those interested in the outdoors and provides a recruitment opportunity for new hunters. Fred ends the roundup with a report on a successful event in California where a key water quality bill was passed. Takeaways The No-Net-Loss Policy aims to protect hunting and fishing opportunities by setting a minimum acreage of publicly owned areas open to sportsmen and women. No-Net-Loss – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation Dove hunting seasons are the first fall hunting opportunity and serve as an entry point for new hunters. Water Quality In California: A successful event in California assisted in the passing of a key water quality bill, which will help ensure conservation of ocean resources and protect the future of fishing in the state. North American Right Whales: The vessel strike reduction rule could have a significant economic impact and pose safety concerns for boaters, and is inconsistent with approved state plans. We can, and should, find better ways to protect whales while preserving fishing and boating traditions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
