In today's episode, I am speaking with James "Jim" Nogalski and Mark Biddle about their book Murder in the Tidwell Building. This is a rare treat for us as one of our very own Baylor Religion professors has written a crime novel set in the Religion Department's building. A skeleton is found in 2020 in Waco, Texas, on the campus ofBaylor University during the renovation of the Tidwell Bible Building, which houses Baylor's Department of Religion. During demolition, workers uncover the skeleton of a man who had been murdered fifteen years earlier. Suspicionquickly falls on three members of the Department of Religion, including two who are now high-level administrators of the university. All three have something to hide. Two detectives meticulously and creatively pursue the killer, despite encountering bureaucratic resistance from the higher echelons of administrators in the Waco Police Department and Baylor University.Jim Nogalski joined the faculty of the Religion Departmentat Baylor in the fall of 2007 after teaching at institutions in South Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, and North Carolina. Nogalski is best known for his ongoing work in prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible, and especially in the Book of the Twelve (Hosea through Malachi). Nogalski grew up in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. After graduating Samford University he completed a Master of Divinity degree at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentuckybefore completing a Master of Theology in Old Testament at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Rüschlikon (a suburb of Zurich), and his doctoral degree at the University of Zurich. He publishes regularly on prophetic literature, especially the Book of the Twelve. Dr. Biddle received his early education in the publicschools of Orlando, FL and Ft. Payne, AL. He holds a BAH from Samford University (Birmingham, AL), an MDiv from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, KY), a ThM from Rueschlikon Baptist Theological Seminary (Rueschlikon, Switzerland), and a DrTheol from the University of Zurich(Zurich, Switzerland). Dr. Biddle began his teaching career at Carson Newman College (now University), where he also directed the Honors Program. After almost a decade, he joined the faculty of the Baptist Theological Seminary atRichmond as Professor of Old Testament, soon to become the Russell T. Cherry Professor there and to continue until the unfortunate closing of the school.Along the way, Biddle has taught adjunctively for SBTS, the Polish Baptist Theological Seminary in Warsaw-Radosc, and, currently, Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond.Dr. Biddle has published seven books, over forty articles, eleven translated volumes (from German to English), and scores of book reviews. He serves on the editorial board ofthe Review & Expositor, having served for two years as Associate Editor and seven as Managing Editor. He also serves on the editorial board of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary and is General Editor of the Reading the Old Testament series. He served for five years on the advisory board of Interpretation and as Issue Editor for R&E's volumes on “Genesis,” “Song of Songs,” “Apocalyptic Literature,”“Transitions,”and “Esther” (forthcoming).  

Tuesday, 17 March 2026   and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3   “And He said, ‘Amen! I say to you, if not you should turn, and you should become as the children, no, not you should enter into the kingdom of the heavens'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus called a child to Him and set him in the midst of the disciples. Matthew continues with Jesus' object lesson as He provides why the child was presented as he was. Matthew records, “And He said, ‘Amen!'”   The sense here is, “Pay attention! This is a truth that you must understand and accept as I speak it.” Understanding this, He continues with, “I say to you, if not you should turn.”   The meaning is that they are on a path of thinking one way, and they must turn and think completely differently. The path they were on is one of “who is the greatest?” It reflects a self-serving attitude that is incompatible with the humility necessary to accept God's proposition for salvation in Christ. Jesus continues, saying, “and you should become as the children.”   The turning is from adamant assertion to innocent acceptance. Jesus is speaking about the kingdom. There are various meanings of what ‘kingdom' signifies, but this one is clearly about the offering that is made by God in Christ based on Jesus' ministry.   Though that is not yet ready to be offered, and though the disciples have no idea what it entails at this point, Jesus is speaking about how to obtain salvation and entry into what God is doing in redemptive history, of which Jesus is the key.   Children are little people. People do wrong. When a child is presented with his wrongdoing and told how to correct it, the child will accept what he is told. This is because children have not yet processed the world around them enough to form their own ideas about such things.   Therefore, he will believe what he is told by simple faith. Until a child learns when people are lying or kidding, they take what they hear at face value. God, who never lies, is to be taken at face value. This is the point of Jesus' words.   There is no feeling of superiority or earning what is necessary for restoration. There is the innocence of acceptance. Along with that, there is no thought by the child of how great he is or how he can earn exaltation in mommy's eyes. There is just the simple desire for restoration. With that in mind, Jesus continues with, “no, not you should enter into the kingdom of the heavens.”   The double negative is an adamant assertion that follows emphatically after the “Amen” previously stated. This is exactly what Paul writes about in Galatians 5 –   “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:1-4   How does that match what Jesus says, you ask? Because when one rejects Christ's fulfillment of the law, he rejects Christ's cross. But the cross is the only thing that can cleanse someone from sin. The law only magnifies guilt before God.   The gospel asks a person to become like a child. The cross demands that a person acknowledge he has sinned (Christ died for your sins, implying you are a sinner), and to accept the avenue God has set forth for restoration. There is no need for a cross for someone who has not sinned.    God has set forth what brings restoration. When we, like children, accept what He has done, it is an acknowledgment that what God has done is sufficient. The simple faith of a child is what God expects.   Life application: Some scholarly comments on this verse show the inability of people to understand what Jesus is saying –   “What was needed was that they should ‘turn' from their self-seeking ambition, and regain, in this respect, the relative blamelessness of children.” Ellicott. It is true that there is a need for turning from self-seeking ambition, but children are not blameless. When we come to the cross, we do not make ourselves blameless. We come to the cross to be made blameless through Christ's imputation of His sinlessness.   “...and become like little children — ‘Free from pride, covetousness, and ambition, and resemble them in humility, sincerity, docility, and disengagement of affection from the things of the present life, which excite the ambition of grown men.'” Benson. If Benson is saying that we need to do these things to merit the kingdom, he is completely missing the point. We come to God acknowledging that we are these things, we have offended Him because it is so, and ask to be forgiven in Christ. From there, we can then conform our lives to His expectations. The cart of works must come after the horse of acknowledgment of sin at the cross.   “How many who pass for converted, regenerate persons have need to be converted over again, more radically.” Expositor's Greek Testament. Are they talking about entering the kingdom after salvation? If so, then they have missed the mark. Salvation is a one-time for all-time proposition. It is true we need to live properly after salvation, but there is no “re-meriting” salvation after it has been granted.   “There is no question here about what is popularly known as conversion - the change from habitual sin to holiness.” Pulpit Commentary. Without explaining how this happens, the words are insufficient and appear to claim we must “fix ourselves.” This is completely incorrect. We come to Jesus as we are with all our baggage, acknowledge we are sinners, and believe He forgives us. Only then do we make an effort to go from “habitual sin to holiness.” If we were to do that first, we would not be like children. We would be “meriting” our salvation.   “The phrase, ‘Except ye be converted,' does not imply, of necessity, that they were not Christians before, or had not been born again. It means that their opinions and feelings about the kingdom of the Messiah must be changed. They had supposed that he was to be a temporal prince. They expected he would reign as other kings did. They supposed he would have his great officers of state, as other monarchs had, and they were ambitiously inquiring who should hold the highest offices. Jesus told them that they were wrong in their views and expectations. No such things would take place. From these notions they must be turned, changed or converted, or they could have no part in his kingdom. These ideas did not fit at all the nature of his kingdom.” Barnes. Barnes, what are you talking about? Jesus is referring to entering the kingdom of the heavens. If you are born again, you have entered it. The commentary has so overcomplicated what Jesus is saying that there is no hope of reconciling it with coming to Christ for forgiveness, the very thing that will allow the disciples, and indeed all people, to enter.   Life application lesson: Keep the salvation message simple. You have sinned. You need Jesus. Believe the gospel. Don't try to fix yourself. You can't. Jesus, we need Jesus to fix us. Believe the gospel.   Lord God, help us to never complicate grace. It is Your offering. If we have to earn it, it is not grace. Help us not to mar the gospel. You have done the work through Jesus. There is nothing we can add to it. Help us to learn these simple, fundamental, and eternity-changing truths. Amen.

Martyrdom of Joseph & Hyrum Smith; Brigham Young led the Saints west (D&C 135–136) by Mike Parker (Mike Parker is a long-time FAIR member who has graciously allowed us to use materials he originally prepared for the Hurricane Utah Adult Religion Class. The scripture passages covered in his lessons don't conform exactly to the Come, Follow Me reading schedule, so they will be shared here where they fit best.) Class Notes Additional Reading and Videos Alexander L. Baugh and Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, “‘I Roll the Burthen and Responsibility of Leading This Church Off from My Shoulders on to Yours': The 1844/1845 Declaration of the Quorum of the Twelve Regarding Apostolic Succession,” BYU Studies 49, no. 3 (2010): 4–19. Dallin H. Oaks, “The Suppression of the Nauvoo Expositor,” Utah Law Review 9, no. 4 (Winter 1965): 862–903. Oaks argued that the Nauvoo city council's action to destroy the Expositor press was legal within the understanding of the law in Joseph's time. (This article was published twenty years before he became an apostle.) Joseph L. Lyon and David W. Lyon, “Physical Evidence at Carthage Jail and What It Reveals about the Assassination of Joseph and Hyrum Smith,” BYU Studies 47, no. 4 (2008): 4–50.

Michael Quinn, “The Mormon Succession Crisis of 1844,” BYU Studies 16, no. 2 (Winter 1976): 187–233. Quinn argued that Joseph did not leave clear directions on who should succeed him and this spurred a crisis that was resolved only when the majority of the Saints threw their support behind Brigham Young and the Twelve. Ronald K. Esplin, “Joseph, Brigham and the Twelve: A Succession of Continuity,” BYU Studies 21, no. 3 (Summer 1981): 301–41. Esplin countered Quinn's article by arguing that the path of succession was clear from Joseph's statements and the canonized revelations. Russel R. Rich, “Nineteenth-Century Break-offs,” Ensign, September 1979, 68–71. Rich described some of the schismatic groups that broke away from the restored Church during the Prophet Joseph's life and after his death. R. Jean Addams, “Aftermath of the Martyrdom: Aspirants to the Mantle of the Prophet Joseph Smith,” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 62 (2024): 335–402. Addams examines the individuals who claimed the mantle of the Joseph Smith, their motives, and the churches or organizations they founded in the decade following the death of the Prophet. Road to Carthage: A Joseph Smith Papers Podcast is an eight-part documentary miniseries that explores the history of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in 1844. The episodes focus on the historical events that led to the assassination of the Prophet and his brother by a mob, as well as the aftermath of that tragic event. Series host Spencer W. McBride interviewed historians and Church leaders for this podcast. LaJean Carruth, “Brigham Young on Brigham Young: His Life, Conversion, and Faith, in his Own Words,” 2024 FAIR Conference.

Join Kosta and his guest: Dr. Troy Smith, Author, Historian and Professor of History at Tennessee Tech University.In this episode: In 2021 you started writing an opinion column in the Sparta Expositor called “A Liberal Dose”. This column began at the request of the Expositor's Editor looking to add more progressive commentary after the events of January 6th and the insurrection on our nation's capital. After writing your column for more than 4 years you've been asked to take a step back from the publication citing security concerns and threatening messages directed at you specifically. My first question starts here: who do you think is actually being protected by this column getting ending? Freedom of speech in America is a hot topic. Not to make light of the situation, but it has been for about 250 years. When you think about the moment we're in: the tragic assination of Charlie Kirk, the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and contributors like you across the country, what does this mean for the freedom of speech and what can we do to protect it? As Mark Twain famously said, “History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes.” You know a lot more about history than me, and I want to take this opportunity to ask you, what comes next? What comes next in the United States? What comes next in Cookeville?Read Dr. Troy Smith's Blog:  https://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com Shop Dr. Troy Smith's Published Works on Amazon: https://us.amazon.com/stores/author/B004G7QU7A?ccs_id=b910bd69-aade-430a-b2a9-220a051d438eBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.Join us with Plenty Downtown Bookshop at A Novel Affair: A Jane Austen Gala for Literacy on November 8, 2025 at Putnam County Convention Center.

Episode 381: In December 1987, 12-year-old Trina Campbell, a Métis girl from Brampton, Ontario, was abducted and murdered by Douglas Robert Worth, a violent ex-convict known as the “Pictou Sadist.” Despite psychiatric warnings, Worth had been released months earlier. His relatives' testimony helped lead police to her remains, and he was convicted of second-degree murder, receiving a life sentence with 23 years before parole eligibility. Now, in 2025, Worth has been released at age 73 and is living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, under strict monitoring. Halifax police issued a public safety alert, warning that he remains a high-risk offender with a long record of extreme violence, including rape, kidnapping, and dismemberment.
