Yes, the time has arrived! The pastor and prof finally have found a parishioner willing to join them. You are going to enjoy hearing who he is.

Yet there is a conundrum, a coincidence, and a caveat in this episode. The conundrum is that the 3.0 version of 3GT has the guys recording their first episode ever in the same room – and they are sharing a mic! Listen to understand why this has Kyle quite nervous. The coincidence is that the men are in the hometown of the new guy as they attend the Synod of the RPCNA, and one of them performed his wedding. The caveat is that the new guy is a ruling elder. Does he really qualify as a parishioner? What is the deal with ruling elders anyway? And who used to have purple hair?

Join this lively episode as **Three** Guys Theologize once again!

On this week’s 3GT, the guys welcome the father and son duo Vince and Samuel Ward. They interview these men about their new book Pursuit of Glory, which recounts their time serving on the mission field of South Sudan. In the midst of civil war, idolatry, and poisonous snakes, the Lord has brought salvation to the Dinka people in a mighty way. Hear them tell the story in their own words. You can also listen and possibly receive a free copy of their book! Go here for a further review of the book and here to purchase Pursuit of Glory.

And don’t only listen to this episode, but be sure to tune into the next one. For Kyle and Barry have finally brought a new parishioner into the fold and will show him off then!

Though they are still 3GT minus one, the shepherds have sought and found another parishioner who is willing to be on the podcast with them! However, you will have to wait another episode or two to find out who he is.

In the meantime, Kyle and Barry dig into a major theme of the book of Acts, which is the planting of new churches. After Kyle recovers from finding out how long it took for Barry to hear the song “Kokomo” by the Beach Boys, Kyle then peppers Barry with questions about his experience in church planting and main lessons he teaches in classes on those subject. From the emphasis on evangelism to the qualities of core groups to the simple need for more churches to the wrong reasons for church planting, the guys discuss many issues regarding the starting of new churches.

So “get there fast and then take it slow,” for 3GT “that’s where you wanna go!”

(And just in case you are a nerd like Barry and have not heard Kokomo by the Beach boys, go here :).

That’s what a good name is. For Proverbs 22:1 says, ” A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, favor is better than silver and gold.”  So on this episode of 3GT, Kyle and Barry discuss the topic of a good reputation.

After hinting they may have found their new parishioner, the guys get on topic. They deliberate on how concerned one should be about his or her own reputation. They then think through together how to keep from simply becoming a man-pleaser in trying to guard a reputation. Next they turn to the duty we have toward maintaining others’ reputations. The guys conclude with considering our responsibility to uphold the name of the Lord.

A practical, important discussion to have in this day when so many prominent Christians are sullying their name and consequently the name of Christ. So tune in for this edifying discussion!

What should men consider if sensing a call to the pastorate? What questions should they ask? What should others ask them? Are their good resources to help them discern? Should one go to seminary, and how do you go about pursuing seminary training?

Tune in as Barry and Kyle have a serious yet rollicking discussion about this topic on this episode of 3GT! And, no, they still have not found a parishioner…but they’re getting closer!
