Kyle and Barry are back this week! Scott, due to his low prioritization of 3GT (according to one of the guys), has been [temporarily] replaced with special guest Nicki Imperato. Central to the discussion this week is Abide, the “Young Adult Reformed Fellowship”. The conversation begins with a brief discussion on daily commutes, and how traffic is a…

In the wake of NAPARC’s 50th Anniversary, the three guys are back with some celebrations, traditions, and congregational updates of their own!

The three guys are back, and they have not one, but two guests on this episode! Two Bruces, in fact!

They discuss with the guys how it helps unite differ…

The guys are Scott-less, but they hope you will listen to this episode anyway. Before they get to the topic at hand, a special appeal is made. No, it is not for the Winchester Reformed Presbyterian Church’s building fund. Listen to find out! Pastor and professor go on to speak about the important topic of congregational elections for officers. Havi…

When the guys came to the regular recording time on Thursday, September 11th, they originally had some other topics in mind for this episode. Yet, given the assassination of Charlie Kirk the previous day, they hit the record button and shared their raw thoughts. Having hit “pause” since then to consider whether these thoughts would be helpful given…

After their typical banter and razzing of one another, the guys become a bit more serious. Recent weeks have seen the loss of major evangelical figures, such as John MacArthur and James Dobson. As tributes roll out, as well as criticisms, the question arises: How are we as the church to honor one another, whether living or deceased? Kyle offers a p…

Sometimes, ideas for 3GT episodes are presented to the guys on a plate—or, perhaps, in this case, a font. Kyle is about to go out on a pastoral call to prepare parents who have just had a child for baptism. So, the 3GTers address this issue to bring clarity to this important Presbyterian practice. Presbyterians are not the only branch of the church…

Or should it be Chat 3GPT? Either way, the three guys get together to have a little summer fun at the expense of artificial intelligence. Along the way, the one host accused of yapping too much by a binge-listening new follower promises not to do so on this episode. We’ll let you be the judge if he succeeded! The guys ask Chat GPT to rate the minis…

On this episode of 3GT, the three guys welcome a fourth.

With one guy gone putting away bad guys, Kyle runs to the rescue from his children’s track meet to record this episode of Three Guys Theologizing. After he catches his breath and explains the joy of watching his children in track and field, Barry interviews him regarding the topic of courage. For Pastor Borg had recently spoken on this topic at a P…

Do you know Agur? Rhoda? How about Mnason? Perhaps these Biblical names appear vaguely familiar to you. Yet do you know their stories? If not, you will want to listen to this podcast and consider reading the book God’s Lesser Knowns by Pastor Brian Coombs. Kyle and Scott interview Brian about his purpose in writing the book and the ways he hopes re…

Finally, the boys are all back behind their mics! Though it has been some time since they were all together, they pick right back up where they left off. After some banter and happy birthday wishes to Kyle, they turn to the topic of men leaving the ministry. As Jim Davis and Michael Graham chronicle in their book The Great Dechurching, many congreg…

Having had difficulty recording due to full schedules, and still down to two with Kyle away, at least Scott and Barry were available to man the mics. Given questions and feedback received from a recent article on Gentle Reformation called “SSA is SSA,” the parishioner and priofessor decide to tackle further the polarizing topic of same-sex attracti…

After an all-time great introduction by the parishioner, he and the pastor wish the professor a happy birthday before they get to the subject at hand. A listener named Ian wanted the 3GTers to address the subject of church cliques. Scott begins by distinguishing between factions based on ideological and theological differences, friendships based on…

Imagine having a podcast episode where Charles Spurgeon is interviewed about his prayer life as a preacher. Undoubtedly, it would be 3GT’s most popular program ever! Well, though you will not hear the Prince of Preachers’ voice in this episode, you will hear from one who has come to know him well through his research and writing. For the guys welco…

After a brief discussion of the winter snows, the 3GTers welcome an Aussie who had never seen it until coming to America. Ken Ham, Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter, joins the guys for this episode to discuss his newest book, Ken Ham Daily: 365 Musings, Inspirations, Answers. Having offered a presuppo…

Well, some think that podcasts should not have introductory banter. Just get to the subject at hand, they say. So, in light of that helpful instruction, the 3GTers make fun of it and banter away at the beginning about the Carpenters (a cultural nod to the old guy) and a few other things before they get to the subject at hand. As Reformed Presbyteri…

To be honest, this episode starts off a bit wonky. Kyle compliments Scott on his introduction. Barry has to correct Scott about a music group. Kyle laughs at Barry because he only knows three words of a song, which is its title (well, perhaps that’s not so unusual). Finally, they get to the point of the episode, which is the conscience. The guys be…

The Lord made it clear in Micah. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Yet how to love mercy tends to be a struggle for many congregations. So with Scott absent, Barry and Kyle share pastoral insights about this topic. They begin by discussin…

As the parishioner is off chasing bad guys throughout the county, the pastor and professor make this episode one of 3GT – 1. They dedicate this episode to the subject of what one could expect if he or she walked through the doors of a typical Reformed Presbyterian Church. Kyle and then Barry describe their first experience and worshiping at an RPC …

On this episode of Three Guys Theologizing, a doctor is in the house! Yes, Dr. Matthew Everhard, Pastor of Gospel Fellowship PCA and RPTS Adjunct Professor, joins the guys once again and offers a prescription for what is ailing the evangelical church. Matthew is on 3GT to explain the reason he published his newest book Worshiptainment: The Modern C…

The guys establish the fact that the pastor would not record weekly without listeners, the parishioner would be glad to talk without even recording, and the professor is just happy to be here. Then, the 3GTers get down to the subject in hand. Does God judge the nations of the earth? And if so, why and how? The guys first give the biblical evidence …

With Scott leading the way, the guys devote this episode to the “one anothers” of Scripture. They first demonstrate how to apply the more negative ones, such as provoking one another. Then they address briefly the more common one anothers that are a bit easier to understand, such as love one another. But then they take on some of the difficult one …

The blogosphere and podcast world seem to be discussing Christian Nationalism these days. Why, even 3GT got into the act not too long ago in this episode.
