Three Guys Theologizing (3GT)

Well, the boys are back together again! With all three of them on their mics, they jest about the worst episode ever, their Argentinian listeners (or lack thereof), and Barry’s ability (?) to sing 70’s pop songs. But eventually they get down to business. For in this episode they discuss how Presbyterianism helps in the …

Well, the last time it was only Kyle and Scott recording, one listener said on social media that it was the “worst episode ever.”  So, with these two again back at their mics, they decide to treat a topic guaranteed to get better ratings.

In this episode of Three Guys Theologizing, they decide to mix the unmixable. For they have a lively discussion about religion and politics.

On this episode of 3GT,the parishioner and the prof conduct a book review. They are joined by none other then Kyle Borg, author of a new book entitled What is Love?

All three guys are together again so this episode starts off a bit rambunctious. The parishioner (or is it placeholder?) is teased for wearing a cardigan while exercising.

Though the prof was kept away from recording by a snowstorm, this episode brings rejoicing for the wandering parishioner has returned! Yes, Kyle is joined by Scott in this episode.

Barry and Kyle are still searching for Scott, who is wandering somewhere out there in the political landscape. If they cannot find him, they may have to start having tryouts for a new parishioner.

Scott is absent once again. 3GT slipped a spot in its Argentina ratings since the last episode. But all is not lost, for the guys are joined by Dr. Matthew Everhard as he discusses his new book Souls: How Jesus Saves Sinners. Matthew explains his desire in writing this book was to deepen gospel understanding. …

Scott is away, undoubtedly hot on the trail of criminals as the newly elected prosecutor. But Kyle is firmly back in his seat as a tripod-caster (or is that tri-podcaster?).

Yes, you can read that title more than one way! But the way it is meant is that pastors have a variety of gifts and abilities they bring to the ministry. That was the intended theme of this episode of 3GT. But wow, how things go off the rails right from the start! Granddad jokes. …

As this very episode demonstrates with Scott away, it can be difficult to get parishioners to gather in small groups during the week.

After talking about Scott getting his picture with babies and encouraging Kyle to read his own T-shirt, the 3GTers get down to business.

Picking apples always seems to get guys in trouble. At least, that’s the message Kyle and Scott deliver to Barry.

The guys …

With the prof away, the boys play! For the pastor and parishioner throw out some big words and then get down to business.

With the guys “Kyle-less” once again, the parishioner and professor tackle a subject the solo pastor may not have wanted to discuss. What about congregations having more than one pastor?
