Remember him? He was the guy who lost an ear to Peter’s sword, at least temporarily. After putting his ear back on, the Lord told Peter to put down the sword. In the face of increasing violence in our nation, is that what we should do? Just put down the guns? Is gun control the answer?

The Three Guys tackle this topic on this episode. They discuss the Second Amendment, the Biblical warrant for defending oneself, the role of government in shaping laws regarding guns, and how Christians should discuss these things. In the back and forth banter, Kyle and Scott go at it for a while, but in the end they do beat their swords into plowshares!

So listen to this episode aimed to get you thinking, trigger emotion, and may or may not end with a bang!

One of the 3GTers has an interesting middle name, which leads to a backstory and provides a bit of a chuckle as the episode gets underway.

Yet the tone quickly becomes more serious, as the guys discuss prayer in the local church. They share about the strengths and weaknesses of the prayer life of the congregations in which they serve. A discussion about how difficult prayer is occurs. They address public prayer in worship, and how it can be strengthened. The need and use of Scripture in prayer is emphasized. A variety of other ideas are shared.

3GT cannot promise that listening to this episode will make your congregation a house of prayer. But there are some steps offered that could help. Give it a prayerful listen!

After another week away due to some summer fun, the guys are back at it in real fashion. For they tackle the subject of foolish rulers.

In a refreshing change for Barry, Scott and Kyle first discuss all the titles they would like to be called. After that is settled, Domine Borg leads the guys toward defining Biblically what constitutes a fool. When the Right Reverend then intimates the present occupant of the White House may exhibit such qualities, and Barry agrees by pointing to Twitter examples, Esquire Hunt gets fired up. Mr. Attorney calls for equity, as many other presidents and current leaders also fit the bill. From there, the conversation moves on energetically toward such things as how the church can address leaders about their behavior, the need for judgment to begin in the house of God for foolish rulers, and how much the church should long and pray for the civil magistrate to have wisdom. And Bishop Borg even wonders if Barrister Hunt is angling for a Supreme Court nomination!

Here’s an episode sure to get some listeners riled up, so tune in and join the fun on this episode of 3GT!

One thing the 3GTers realize they have in common. They all are, or at least have been, part of little churches. So they start a conversation about it.

They first define what size church would be classified as a small one. They discuss the advantages of being in a fellowship where everyone knows each other. The concerns and challenges of a smaller congregation are raised. Along the way, some anecdotes are shared and they poke a bit of fun at the bigger guys.

Join the guys as the diminutive is magnified on this episode of Three Guys Theologizing!

When Sir Scott walks into a home, he’s going to look not in your medicine cabinet but certainly at your library. For he believes, and Kyle and Barry agree, that you can read a man by what he’s reading.

So he peppers the guys with questions about their libraries. What prominent theologians guide their thinking? What books would they recommend to young believers? How might that question be guided when someone is in the early “cage stage” of Calvinism? What modern authors are helpful in shaping the Christian life? What is the favorite book you have in your library? Where does fiction and novels factor in?
