Ever walked into Grandma’s house and been met with the varied, old fragrances of her potpourri concoction? Kyle has, and he’s hoping this episode smells nothing like it.

For the guys update you on a variety of matters. Reminders of all that is new at 3GT. Accounts of meeting faithful listeners in a number of places (though Scott’s still trying to find one). Letters from our audience from places as exotic as Africa and Pittsburgh…wait, make that Iowa. Updates on the recent happenings of the co-hosts.

So relax, breathe in deeply, and enjoy the spices of 3GT!

Yes, a gal joins the guys on this latest episode! Aimee Byrd, co-host of the Mortification of Spin podcast, comes on 3GT to discuss her latest book Why Can’t We Be Friends? regarding friendships between men and women.

In our modern context, on the one hand society constantly and boldly sexualizes both our identity and relationships as men and women. On the other hand, the evangelical church often responds to the pressure in a one-dimensional fashion with separation policies like the Billy Graham/Mike Pence Rule. Without necessarily bashing said rule, Aimee discusses with the men our theological and redemptive identity as brothers and sisters in Christ. She offers practical wisdom on how to cultivate holy and healthy relationships with one another.

And yes, we are aware of some of the critical  – and even nasty – reviews by some of the tough guys out in Blogoworld. If only they would learn to behave in a more gentlemanly-like manner!

Tune in and listen – you could even win a free copy of Aimee’s book!

The Earnest movie might have had a twisting plot and focus on humor, but earnest preaching is quite the opposite!

The guys engage in lively conversation about what earnestness is in preaching. From defining such qualities as sincerity and seriousness, to recognizing its presence in the sanctuary, to cultivating it in both the preacher and the congregation, the 3GTers are, well, in earnest as they speak about this topic.

Listen and learn about the importance of being earnest in preaching!

After some playful banter about changing their tagline, the boys get down to the real business at hand. With a lawyer now on board, a question was begging to be asked. Are Christians duty-bound to obey God’s Law?

A resounding “Yes!” follows. Precision is sought, as the definition of the word “Law” is given. The basis for the Law’s origin follows. The Law’s relationship to justification and sanctification is stated and explained. The oft-misunderstood phrase “not under law but under grace” is clarified. The heart attitude of the Christian with respect to God’s Law is emphasized repeatedly. The difference between Biblical law and modern law is noted.

It’s an episode guaranteed to help you sing with more gusto with the psalmist, “O how I love Your law!”
