Episode 73: When Two Kingdoms Become One
Why would the 3GTers want to talk about the Democratic primary for the governor’s race in Texas? Because one candidate who is promoting a pro-choice position is an elder in a Reformed church, and other elders in his denomination are calling him to repent! The guys use this situation to delve into the underlying theological …

Episode 72: Hitting the Pause Button
Kyle’s been cruisin’ again. Did he really say he had been to the Copacabana? Progreso, Mexico? Anyway, it got the guys talking about R&R, vacations, sabbaths, and even sabbaticals. Questions arise.

Episode 71: Man in the Iron Cage (No, Not the MMA Kind)
Talk about a man in an iron cage today, and people will think of mixed martial arts. But there was a time when all that would have come to mind is the scene of a character in John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. The man was trapped in an iron cage because, as he said, “I have so …

Episode 70: Super Duper Sunday
The so-called Super Bowl Sunday is coming soon. But these three guys don’t seem too excited about it. Why? Are they just nerdy mama’s boys? Partially. Fuddy-duddy Sabbatarians? Probably.

Episode 69: The Sound of Silence
Now, for our most ironic episode yet. Yes, a podcast where we talk about being quiet! With the digital age readily providing megaphones such as Facebook and Twitter to make our every thought known, believers should consider anew the Biblical wisdom regarding silence.

Episode 66: Learning to Say “No”
Children learn how to say it pretty early. But when they grow up into busy Christian adults they seem to forget. How do we say “No” to good requests on our talents, time, and treasures when “Yes” seems so much easier? As the three guys begin discussing this topic, one confesses he is a member …

With the #metoo movement growing in momentum, causing the fall of many in power, the 3Gters wrestle with what to do when accusations arise.

From a question that arose during family worship, the prof turns the pastor and parishioner’s attention to II Peter 2 and asks how to identify a heretic.

Episode 44: Flippin’ the Pulpit?
Last episode the 3GTers talked about flipping the classroom. But the pulpit? With all the technology that makes available famous preachers’ sermons, why not just stay home and listen to them rather than your local (and, let’s admit it, less gifted) pastor?
