Three Guys Theologizing (3GT)

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?

One of 3GT’s favorite guests is back!

This episode begins with some typical shenanigans.

With their tumultuous schedules finally colliding together, all three guys are back for this episode!

With Kyle away, the 3GT minus 1 crew decides to go a bit more tender this episode. For they address the simple yet profound topic of Christian love.

As staid Presbyterian men, using their bodies in worship it’s not something Scott and Barry think about all that much. But a recent inquiry from a parishioner get them to thinking! For as Paul told the church at Rome “to present their bodies as a living sacrifice,” the guys discuss what he meant by this …

We do it all the time. Listen to sermons, that is. Yet are we listening as we ought? Most preachers behind the pulpit spend a great deal of time preparing to deliver their messages.

With so much heated rhetoric, it’s difficult to have a decent conversation these days. Everyone is shouting and no one is listening. No one seems to know how to disagree peaceably anymore.

With the pastor still absent, the parishioner and professor bring on another preacher to fill in.

Primarily, they discuss the prime numbers of 23 and 37. For two …

Without Kyle around to stir up trouble, Barry and Scott decide to get into some trouble of their own. For on this episode they discuss wives and mothers staying at home. They begin by talking about how controversial this topic can be and why that is so. Next, the guys explain what they are not …

The parishioner and the professor decide to take a virtual walk down the driveway to the mailbox and see what it contains.

Once again the parishioner and professor invite another pastor on for tryouts (just kidding, Kyle).
