Like the “unknown soldier” commemorated on Memorial Day, there are many persons who play significant roles in the bible whose names are unknown to us. But there are no “Nobodies” (no “Unknowns”) to God. We are all God's “Somebody.”

On this episode of Tablesetters, we're joined by Campbell University Head Baseball Coach Chris Marx for an in-depth look at his first season at the helm of the Fightin' Camels. With a strong start to the 2025 campaign—including statement wins over East Carolina and a thrilling victory against Duke—Coach Marx breaks down what he's seen from his team so far, the adjustments they're making, and what lies ahead for Campbell this season. Coach Marx's journey to this role has taken him through various stops in college baseball, including stints as a pitching coach, hitting coach, and recruiting coordinator. We discuss his return to Campbell, where he previously served as an assistant, and how his time away prepared him for this opportunity. He also reflects on his long-standing relationship with former Campbell coach Justin Haire, now leading Ohio State, and how their connection has shaped his coaching philosophy. The Fightin' Camels kicked off 2025 with a challenging road series against top-25 UC Santa Barbara before settling into their home schedule, highlighted by their recent upset of Duke. Coach Marx details how his team executed against the Blue Devils, what aspects of their game have been most promising, and where they need to improve to reach their full potential. With Campbell now competing in the CAA after years of dominance in the Big South, he discusses the biggest differences in competition and what it will take to thrive in their new conference. Campbell has embraced the "Nobodies from Nowhere" mentality, proving year after year that they can compete with the best despite not being a traditional baseball powerhouse. Recruiting is always a battle, and Campbell finds itself in a talent-rich but highly competitive region. We dive into what sets the program apart, how they've expanded their recruiting footprint across the country, and the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on mid-major programs. Plus, we get Coach Marx's thoughts on the ongoing evolution of college baseball, including potential rule changes and the recent controversy in the Stetson vs. Florida game involving the first base safety bag. Campbell made history in 2024 with five former players appearing in MLB games—Cedric Mullins, Zach Neto, Ryan Thompson, Allan Winans, and Seth Johnson. Coach Marx shares his insights on what that MLB presence means for recruiting and which current Fightin' Camels have the potential to follow in their footsteps. We take a closer look at Dalen Thompson, a dynamic talent with power and speed who has already impressed early this season. As a former pitching coach, Coach Marx also weighs in on the alarming rise in elbow injuries across the sport, discussing the balance between player development and arm health. We wrap up the conversation with a fun debate on the best team names in college sports (besides the Fightin' Camels, of course) before Coach Marx gives his picks for the Mount Rushmore of Campbell University Athletics.

Does God Care about Nobodies?But I want to start with a different question…When you've got great news, who's the first person you tell?Our parents Our siblingsOur closest friendsBack then it was pretty simple, low-keyToday it's a whole thing…Make fun of gender revealToday we're going to see how God answered that questionWho was the first person he told about the birth of Jesus?You'd expect priests or prophets or kingsBut that's not at all who he shared with firstHe went to a bunch of nobodies!?1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (NLT) 26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. 27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.This is a shocking theme throughout scripture.Abraham - a childless, a nomadic herdsman from a pagan family Moses - a fugitive, living as a shepherd in the wilderness after killing an EgyptianDavid - the youngest of eight brothers and a shepherd boy, overlooked even by his fatherAnd now we'll see the theme again in the Christmas story…Luke 2:8 (NLT) 8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep.You know, shepherds are all over the place in the Bible. And so I think we maybe, when we read this, I think we might get the wrong idea about this. Because after all, Abraham was a shepherd. Psalm 23, the most famous Psalm in the Bible says, the Lord is my shepherd. Jesus is called the great shepherd. Pastors are called shepherds. And so I think when we think of the word shepherd, we think of a good thing, right? We think of a positive thing, but the reality is that shepherds were the lowliest people in society. In fact, even in Genesis chapter 46, this is Abraham saying, every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.Here's the truth about shepherds 2000 years ago:Shepherds:Responsibilities:Tended sheep, guided them to food and water, and protected them from predators.Dealt with the grime, smells, and dangers of working with livestock.Worked tirelessly in mundane and often thankless tasks.Social Status:Considered lowly and marginalized in...

How should we think about ourselves as children of God? True significance isn't found in who you are; it's found in who God is. This week, Kylen Perry refers to the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3 to remind us that we won't feel worthy until God enters our story.

Today I talked to Ben Kaplan about his new book (co-authored with Danny Parkins) Pipeline to the Pros: How D3 Small-College Nobodies Rose to Rule the NBA (Triumph Books, 2024). Jeff Van Gundy. Brad Stevens. Frank Vogel. Mike Budenholzer. Tom Thibodeau. Sam Presti. Leon Rose. Before you knew his name, before he drafted your favorite player, before he guided your team to a championship, he had a playing career of his own at an NCAA Division III college. He didn't play for fortune – the NBA was out of reach, and his school didn't even give athletic scholarships. He didn't play for fame – his games weren't televised, and the stands were rarely full. Whatever the motivation, he simply couldn't give up the game of basketball. And that didn't change after graduation, when it was time to pick a career path. For the first time in league history, NBA coaches and general managers are just as likely to have played Division III basketball as they are to have played in the NBA. While the number of former D3 players working in the NBA is higher than ever, small college alums have served in leadership positions since the league's founding. They shaped the NBA into what it is today, playing integral roles in the Lakers' initial success in Los Angeles, the inception of several expansion franchises, the creation of the popular All-Star Weekend dunk contest, the globalization of the league, and more. Their improbable and inspiring journeys tell a bigger story – the history of small college athletics, the evolution of coaching and management in the NBA, and the hiring practices in the most competitive fields. Their alma maters were small, but their impact on the game, and the implications of their success, loom large. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, we delve into the heart of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, focusing on 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5. Paul contrasts the wisdom of the world with the wisdom of God, reminding us that God often chooses the seemingly foolish and weak to accomplish His purposes. As we explore why God uses nobodies, we'll uncover the profound truths about relying on God's strength and wisdom rather than our own abilities. Join us as we learn how God's power is perfected in our weakness and how our faith should rest in the power of God.
