Three Guys Theologizing (3GT)

In the wake of NAPARC’s 50th Anniversary, the three guys are back with some celebrations, traditions, and congregational updates of their own! Scott recounts the 10-year anniversary celebration of Marion RPC. From the oldest to the youngest (congregationally speaking, that is), the guys testify of God’s past and present works in each of their church …

The three guys are back, and they have not one, but two guests on this episode! Two Bruces, in fact! RPCNA pastors Bruce Backensto and Bruce Parnell join the guys in order to explain NAPARC and the celebration of its 50th anniversary.  Bruce and Bruce explain the origins of NAPARC and its purpose. They discuss …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

On this episode of 3GT, the three guys welcome a fourth. Drew Gordon, Publications Director at Crown & Covenant Publications and a long-time ruling elder of Covenant Fellowship Reformed Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, joins 3GT to discuss his new book, The Elders of the People: Leadership in Christ’s Church, the latest release in the Grassmarket Press series. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

On this episode of Three Guys Theologizing, Pastor Ed Blackwood of the Springs Reformed Church of Colorado Spring, CO, joins them to discuss a ministry he has developed called Worship Connected. Ed, who just completed a doctoral project on this subject at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, describes this unique approach of connecting family worship of …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

After a late summer hiatus, the gents return to their favorite extracurricular activity to record new episodes of Three Guys Theologizing. Yet alas, the parishioner is still not available. However, undeterred, the pastor and professor decide to give listeners an update on the latest in their lives and ministry. With Kyle manning the mic, he …

As the summer ends, the guys welcome a guest to this episode of Three Guys Theologizing. Pastor William “Bill” Boekestein of the Immanuel Fellowship Church (URC) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, joins them to discuss his latest book Finding My Vocation: A Guide for Young People Seeking a Calling. The interview begins by Bill defining Biblically the …

Scott’s back in the hosting seat after cruising with his beloved for their 25th, which he thoroughly enjoyed and so apologizes to Kyle for making fun of his cruise history. This leads the guys to discus the possibility of a 3GT cruise like other high profile ministries. Yet knowing the 3GT budget, they quickly get …

The parishioner is off on the high seas, enjoying a silver anniversary cruise with his beloved. So the professor takes the opportunity to interview the pastor about his new book on Presbyterianism, Household of Faith. Kyle, as one of the managing editors of Grassmarket Press, a series of books introducing theological and Christian living topics …

In this episode of Three Guys Theologizing, the gentlemen welcome back Pastor Nathan Eshelman as their guest. Nathan has authored another book in the Grassmarket Press series, entitled Worthy. They interview him about his book on worship. As Nathan reminds us, the word “worship” is based on the word “worthy.” The Triune God is worthy …

The boys start off talking about the pleasantry of mowing their lawns, which has nothing to do with this episode but is a continuation from the last one! Kyle gets the guys on track by sharing an anecdote that takes them to the subject at hand – church conflict. As Samuel Rutherford once said, there …

As the three guys return to the studio, the prof has just mowed his lawn. He explains to the pastor and parishioner some trouble he had with his new riding lawn mower, which involved the tortoise and the hare on the throttle. From there, they move to the topic at hand – encountering the Christian …

The boys are back! Yes, indeed, all three guys show up for this episode. After some banter that involves Scott and Kyle referencing old movies once again and making fun of Barry’s birdwatching, they get down to the business at hand. For they return again to the subject of ordination. Treated in an episode long, …

With this episode recorded near the time of the solar eclipse, the parishioner and the professor share their experiences while the pastor gallivants around Kansas for his kids’ track meets. Though clearly the eclipse did not result in the end of the world, as some predicted, surely it testified to the Lord’s glory in natural …
