This podcast is our attempt to capture our real life conversations that center around wrestling with God, issues within Black culture, and things in society/the world.
The Three Black Men: Theology, Culture, And The World Around Us podcast is an incredible listen that I highly recommend to anyone looking for transparency, intelligence, and humor. From the moment I started listening, it felt like I was eavesdropping on a conversation between brothers. The chemistry between the hosts, Trey, Rob, and Sam, is palpable and their genuine warmth towards each other shines through in every episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the range of topics that are discussed. They cover everything from theology to pop culture to personal experiences and more. Each episode feels like a deep dive into important conversations that need to be had. The hosts bring their unique perspectives and experiences to the table, creating a dynamic and thought-provoking discussion.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is the vulnerability and openness with which the hosts approach each topic. They tackle difficult subjects with grace and depth, often challenging listeners to dig deeper within themselves. Their willingness to share their own struggles and growth adds an extra layer of relatability to the show.
If there's one downside to this podcast, it would be that some references or terms may require further explanation for listeners who are not familiar with certain aspects of Black culture or theology. However, this minor issue can easily be overcome by being open-minded and willing to learn alongside the hosts.
In conclusion, The Three Black Men: Theology, Culture, And The World Around Us podcast is a must-listen for its transparency, intelligence, and humor. It offers a unique perspective that will challenge your thinking while making you feel like part of the conversation. Whether you're new to the show or a long-time listener, you'll find yourself captivated by these three black men as they navigate important discussions with honesty and integrity.

This is a sermon by Pastor Trey. If the Black Church is divinely positioned to speak prophetically to America's soul, the character of Jesus is not made known in the wielding of earthly power. Matthew 5:13 (NLT) “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. In addition to cohosting Three Black Men, Trey serves as the Pastor of The Intention Church and the Executive Pastor of The Refuge Church.
