If you listen to the podcast, you know a thing or two about crime. You may like the following questions: Why did they do it? How did they do it? Why this victim and not someone else? No matter why you listen, I bet you can remember a case from childhood that left a mark, changed how you looked at humanity, or made you lose your innocence. For me, this is that story. I had just turned 11 years old and I still remember the look of shock on my mother's face when she was talking about this. The call came through just before dawn on Thursday, October 23, 1980. A dispatcher's voice crackled over the radio, summoning officers and an ambulance to Pope's Cafeteria at 12450 Manchester Road, inside West County Center in Des Peres, Missouri. If you are local, you may call it the White Dove, at least we did growing up. When officers arrived, they were met with a small crowd of employees, still in their uniforms, visibly shaken. Some clung to each other for support, their faces pale with shock as they pointed officers toward the inside of the restaurant. Whatever had happened, it was bad.Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode, “Pope's Cafeteria Massacre.”Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by @theinkypawprintSources:Murder At Pope's Cafeteria by Ronald Martin. https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-thomas-selvey-an/21186652/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-byrd-guilty-of-f/16608221/https://www.newspapers.com/article/springfield-leader-and-press-byrd/80560580/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-byrd-1/80560921/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-dairy-queen-murd/17396419/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch/48854693/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-springfield-news-leader-maurice-osca/16349748/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-oscelious-green/20674092/"Byrd".

What is a prelude, and why does it happen (or not happen) before a church service? Dr. Mark Bender (retired Minister of Music from St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Des Peres, MO), Phillip Magness (Cantor at Village Lutheran Church in Ladue, MO) and Cheryl Magness (Managing Editor of Reporter with LCMS Communications and International Center chapel musician) join Andy and Sarah to talk about what a prelude is and why we have it, how a person in the pew can make good use of the prelude, the thought and preparation that goes into picking and playing the prelude, whether there are times when it is more suitable to not have a prelude, and helpful ways to appreciate this musical offering.

How should we deal with discrepancies as we piece together evidence on important matters of interest? On this episode Shane talks with retired cold-case detective, J. Warner Wallace about following the evidence wherever it leads, whether in attempting to solve murder cases, resolving disputed claims about the past, or even when it comes to challenging our beliefs about the nature of reality itself. J. Warner Wallace is the author of Cold-Case Christianity, Forensic Faith, and most recently, The Truth in True Crime. SHOW NOTESRecommended BooksCold Case Christianity, J.

On this program Shane talks with trial attorney Craig Parton about evidential reasoning, which is an outlook that seeks to impartially examine the facts of any particular controversy in order to find the best explanation of those facts. The two apply this type of reasoning to the facts uncovered on last week's episode about the location of The Executive Room, as well as to the field of Christian apologetics as a whole. Craig Parton is the author of Religion on Trial, The Defense Never Rests, and more recently, The Art of Christian Advocacy.SHOW NOTESRecommended BooksThe Art of Christian Advocacy, Craig Parton & John W.

The Pilot Episode of The Humble Skeptic podcast was launched in October of 2022, and on that program, Shane told his Dad's story of seeing Billy Joel perform at a piano bar in Los Angeles. If you've had a chance to listen to that episode, you know the story (if not, you should listen to that show first). On this program, Shane discusses some of the new evidence that has recently come to light about the location of The Executive Room, and talks with John Gibson about his memories of the famous piano bar.SHOW NOTESRelated ResourcesThe Pilot Episode, Humble Skeptic Ep. #1 Is My Dad One of the Characters in Billy Joel's Piano Man?

This also matches one of the statements that Shane's dad mentioned on the Pilot Episode. And when Shane sent a picture of this building to John Gibson (after he volunteered the information about it being located in the lobby of a large office building), he wrote back saying, “Oh, that looks like the building!”UPCOMING EVENTS CEDAR CITY, UTAHOn Wednesday, Sept. 18th, Shane will discuss the topic of his forthcoming book, Is Faith Blind? at the Festive Hall Conference Center in Cedar City, Utah.

According to Rebecca McLaughlin, many of the beliefs of our contemporary culture can be summarized into a kind of “secular creed.” Though Christians will agree with some parts of this creed and disagree with others, it's important to note that many of the assumptions underlying this “statement of faith” are deeply rooted in Christian soil. So how did Jesus completely reshape the moral imagination of Western culture? Shane discusses this with Dr. McLaughlin, who is the author of numerous books including Confronting Christianity, and The Secular Creed.SHOW NOTESRelated BooksThe Secular Creed & Confronting Christianity, Rebecca McLaughlinDominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World, Tom HollandThe Righteous Mind & The Anxious Generation, Jonathan HaidtChristianity & Liberalism, J.

Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher (R-Des Peres) has appointed a new House committee to investigate crimes committed by alleged illegal immigrants. Speaker Plocher has named a former Missouri Department of Public Safety (DPS) director as the chair of the new House committee. State Rep. Lane Roberts (R-Joplin) chairs the new House Special Committee on Illegal Immigrant Crimes. Speaker Plocher joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri," telling listeners that the committee will find out what crimes are being committed by alleged illegal immigrants. The Speaker tells "Wake Up" that they tend to be more heinous crimes. He cited a recent case reported in late June by 939 the Eagle's Mike Murphy, who reports that five men believed to be illegal immigrants were captured in northern Missouri's Macon County with a 14-year-old runaway from Indiana. Police say they were allegedly trafficking her to California. Murphy reports the five suspects are from Mexico and Honduras and are charged and jailed. The new House Special Committee on Illegal Immigrant Crimes holds its organizational meeting Thursday morning at 11 at the Statehouse in Jefferson City. Speaker Plocher tells listeners that the committee will hold at least six hearings, adding that he hopes they'll complete a report by the fall. The Speaker, who is term-limited in the House, emphasizes he wants the report to be thorough and that the committee has been given a broad scope. Some Democrats, including State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) say the committee is a waste of time and resources:
Some Christians in our day push back against the idea of “the separation of church and state,” but David VanDrunen argues that, in reality, this is a crucial distinction taught throughout the Bible. So what is the proper view of government from a Christian perspective and how should we think about the relationship between theology and politics? Shane talks with Dr. VanDrunen about these and other issues he addresses in his book Politics After Christendom: Political Theology in a Fractured World.SHOW NOTESRecommended BooksPolitics After Christendom, David VanDrunenLiving in God's Two Kingdoms, David VanDrunenNatural Law: A Short Companion, David VanDrunenDivine Covenants & Moral Order, David VanDrunenNatural Law & The Two Kingdoms, David VanDrunenRecommended ArticlesParadise Lost, David VanDrunenThe Tower of Babel, Shane RosenthalChristianity & Politics, William Bennet, Os Guinness & OthersRecommended AudioA Biblical Theology of Civil Government, David VanDrunenThe Rise & Fall of Christendom, David VanDrunenTheocracy or Liberalism?

This week Michelle and Meera chat about a recent visit to Old Bakery Beer where they got to try new dishes from their menu including a pulled pork sandwich and a tofu parmesan sandwich. Also in the conversation is Daile's Smokehouse where the barbecue is delicious but the sides here are equally as good. Also in the talk is a recent visit to Niche Food Group's resurrected Porano, which was in the form of a pop-up at Wild Carrot as they gear up for their summer opening in Des Peres.

According to John Dickson, “Christianity is unlike other religions in that it gambles its plausibility on supposed historical events. Christians,” he writes, “don't merely say otherworldly things like ‘Heaven is open to all,' but they also say things like, ‘Christ suffered under Pontius Pilate,' and statements of this kind aren't immune from historical scrutiny.” So, what are the considerations involved in assessing the historical value of the Gospels? How can we be sure these ancient texts really are what they claim to be? On this episode, Shane talks with Undeceptions host, John Dickson, who received a PhD in the field of ancient history, and who is the author of Is Jesus History?• The clip in which John Dickson revealed his shift on the date of the Fourth Gospel was taken from Episode 126 of The Undeceptions podcast.• The quote from Princeton scholar, James Charlesworth's was taken from his book Jesus As Mirrored in John, and you can find additional quotes by Charlesworth and others here.• To read Shane's recent article mentioned at the end of this episode featuring an archaeoligical discovery related to Joanna & Theophilus, click here.
