With literally dozens of hours of life experience, Michael, Paul, and Simon pool their collective intelligence to produce the Three Views On podcast. With the weekly topics ranging from fashion faux pas to Christian youth ministry, from philosophical jousting to literally nothing at all, you are alw…
What should the local body do to send and support the great commission in far-away places?
After nearly three years, Three Views On is back!* *offer available in-store for a limited time only
Thanks for listening! Keep living the dream... It's been real.
Just over four weeks in remote PNG. How did Simon survive? What is life like "in the jungle?"When will Simon ever shut up about it?
Michael, Paul, and Simon go on a forest retreat to record the fifth and final season of the Three Views On Podcast
Some people say love is easy - marriage is hard. With our collective marriag experience of nearly 6 (six) years, we've cracked to code. Sort of. Some are likening this episode to our episode on pregnancy. Judge for yourselves whether that is a good thing or a bad thing!
What makes a man a man? Is it life experience? Is it a list of certian characteristics? This week, we try to explain it - even though we have no idea! If you enjoyed our pregnancy episode, you're sure to enjoy this one. If you want to be a man but just don't know how - you've found your answer!
Ever get that feeling that you're being watched - controlled even! Who is your grandfather and exactly what kind of paradox is he mixed up in? How could one weaponize time travel (asking for a friend)? Special guest Sean L returns with only one goal - making us question our own existence. But to do that, he has to become a someone else - something else. Sean L - conspiracy theorist(actually, Sean denies any of these things to be true - just so you know.)
Little green men, secret government agencies, and mind control: Join your hosts with special guest Sean L as they dive deep into the realm of conspiracy theories.
How on earth did we get to the point where we're talking about an almost exclusively American issue? How does American gun control affect Australians? Should Christians own guns for the purpose of self-defense? In this episode we kinda ask these question, but don't really answer them - but perhaps you'd like to listen to our conversation anyway! After this episode we'll be having a couple of weeks off for Easter break.
Content is king on the world-wide web. We're clearly unable to produce enough - so we thought we'd enlist some help. Were you like every other listener who was interested in our idea of "The Theology Sessions" but then disappointed when Michael realised he didn't actually have the time to make any? Well, we've solved that problem! Andre is an interesting chap taking the Theology Sessions by storm (soon) so we thought we'd better introduce him to you!
Over 60 Episodes means another another episode of pure silence - sort of.
First Simon, then Michael, now Paul - we all do shift work. For those of you who feel our pain, this is a full episode of us complaining bitterly. Plus a few handy tips for other who may be about to start doing shift work.
Michael enters Ludum Dare - whatever that means. Also, Paul has fought tooth an nail to avoid 3VO going 'full nerd' but now we find out his dirty little secret. Cryptocurrencies are taking the world by storm. What does Paul think of Bitcoin? The answer may shock you! Michael'sVideo Game link: https : // github .com/ Lawzy93 / power-play (take out the spaces)

Michael is again absent. Paul and Simon discuss moving house - key words: minimalism, pizza, soft drink Also, some tips on buying a house, renovating etc.
Michael is absent for this one, but we promised a proper follow-up to our local mission episode. Paul and Simon chat about doing 'Total Church' and what kind of practical things Paul is doing in his Glenorchy Church plant.
Way, way back in season 1 we promised to do an episode where we all played a board game together. After many hours of negotiations, Paul finally agreed - but only if there was no commitment to actually finish the game! This episode also includes a tribute to Mr. John Clarke - No copyright infringement intended in the replaying of his material.
"Why should I pay a white missionary to live overseas when the same money could support 3 families of people who already live there!?" If you've ever asked this question, listen to this episode! Global mission the scale of evangelism the apostles' writings indicate should be happening - but how can we do it well?
Simon's started mission training, Paul's starting a church, and Michael's been in Africa. Seems like we have a common passion! In classic Three Views On style, we do one episode on a topic we couldn't hope to do justice in ten episodes!
Aside from buying a House, moving into that house, starting a church, and living it up on Bruny Island, Paul took it pretty easy this summer. Hear about these thing and more in excruciating and frankly unnecessary detail as Paul fills out the last installment of the Summer Series.
What the heck is that crying sound that has been seeping into the podcast lately? And why is Simon suddenly such a weary man? The answers lie within. Warning: This podcast contains more discussion about libraries than has been deemed safe by health professionals.
The Podcast’s resident globe trotter Michael Laws gives an in depth look into his first summer as a married man. From central Africa to summer camps, Michael seems to have done everything he planned with two exceptions: sleep, and sit still.
Last year Paul called it quits on the podcast, but realising his huge mistake, he came grovelling back. Michael and Simon have put it to a listener vote to decide if he is allowed back in! To hear the full saga, and to vote on his return, treat yourself to the first episode of season 3 of the Three Views On Podcast!
Theology Sessions takes a sidetrack with Paul Matthews! Simon interviews Paul for a few minutes, explaining Paul's most recent sermon. Listen to the full sermon on Biblical Eldership (1 Peter 5:1-4) @ https://soulchurch.org.au/node/329
There is an activity we call 'bushwalking' where we pack up our food, shelter, and clothing into a very compact bundle, strap it to our shoulders and then walk through wilderness until our feet bleed. Some people enjoy it, others not so much. In this episode Paul and Simon discuss the merits of bushwalking.
Chicken Kiev for every meal of the year? They say variety is the spice of life, but is it just a terrible, bitter-tasting spice? As we've always said: the proof of the pudding is in the nuggets.
We may be nearly a year behind the times, but we thought we would do a little review of The Force Awakens. Simon shares his deep knowledge of the Star Wars universe and we reveal all the spoilers. Enjoy!
Yet another listener's question answered by Three Views On! Check out this episode to find out why you should be addicted to your smartphone and why the minimalist lifestyle is intriguing but falls short of capturing life's full potential. (This episode description may or may not have been written without the direct consultation of Paul) Leave us a comment on the post if you think Paul should find new ways to enrich his marriage using his smartphone.
One on one punch-ups - They're usually the highlight of an action movie. But DC comics and Warner Bros. took it to the next level. Here's our review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!
All three of us are Australian, yet we keep finding ourselves in conversations revolving around American Politics! Who would you vote for? Trump, Hillary, or Robert Downey Jr.? In this episode, we navigate an epic journey through American politics ending in weird, murky waters where we decide between Trump or Hillary!
To figure out once and for all whether Three Views On is able to be a helpful and informative podcast we decided to ask our listeners for hard/unanswerable questions which they'd like an answer to. Turns out Michael and Simon would make a brilliant trivia team! If you asked a question, then make sure you listen to this episode to find out the answer!
#3VO is no longer 3 single guys, but 3 married men with responsibilities! To celebrate Paul's new-found maturity, we picked 5 super-serious presents for him and then explained the reasoning behind each of them. WARNING: The presents are neither serious nor mature - and Michael and Simon refuse to sign an affidavit saying they are responsible or mature. Paul has not yet been approached for comment.
In this long awaited episode of the theology sessions, Michael introduces the next topic to be unpacked; predestination. Oh, Nelly!!
Is Pokemon Go a money grab or a highly satisfying experience for consumers? Is it a fad or here to stay? Compared with other apps, is it even good? Will a zombie apocalypse be coming soon? Pokemon Go has captured the minds of so many businessmen that it's actually a bit weird. Michael, Paul, and Simon test out the app and make their less-than-valuable opinions known.
Simon pointed out that we didn't actually ANSWER THE QUESTION our listener asked us. So we recorded this sneaky episode to specifically answer the question: "As a Christian in a new (and first) relationship, could you guys give your views on Biblical dating (with marriage as the goal)? Maybe with some discussion on age differences, is there a wrong way (ie. the woman older that the guy)? Also is there a time period that would be to soon to get engaged as a Christian?Whatever you guy feel like explaining and is relevant.This would be much appreciated! Thank you!" Here it goes!
Socks. Synthesiser. Wedding rings. Driving a manual. Predestination. Literally Nothing - Part V
Ever wondered how you accumulated 5 cables, five recipe books, three pairs of shoes, and two bicycles that you never ever use? Does having physical space equate to having mental space? If you've wondered how you can make life a little bit more simple, boy has Paul got news for you! He's writing a blog about minimalism and small things to change that can make life more simple. www.theresgottobelesstolife.com
Dating philosophy can be a divisive topic. A broad range of worldviews brings a broad range of definitions and confusion often reigns! We were asked - as three guys who've successfully navigated the waters of pre-marriage romantic relationships - how to go about a romantic relationship. Here are the answers we gave, whether you like them or not! Let us know what you think about our ideas.
Who says Paul and Simon are the only ones who do car trips? It's a two-way street. Literally. This week, Michael travels down to a recording session with only one passenger - YOU! If you want updates on married life, undercover police stings, and inception-like metaphors, then this one's for you.
Well, we've nearly missed the Boaty McBoatface on this one, but it's still a hot topic, so why not? We got two British consultants in to help us answer questions like: "What is the EU?" and "Are British citizens deluded to think they're still the superpower they were?" "Why does Paul care?" and "Why can't Paul hold a British accent?"
The good, the bad, and the ugly. Why are Christian movies so bad? Should people just not make them? Are they ever effective in the intended audience?
Ever had too much month left and the end of your money? In need of a total financial overhaul? Look this far and no further for three robust and well informed views on budgeting.
Michael, Paul, and Simon pride themselves in making episodes with little to no preparation and definitely no factual research. Parenting is a complex process, but we we have theoretically perfect, yet totally unproven methods! Enjoy!
In an attempt to prove they could do something no one was asking them to do in the first place, Paul and Simon record a podcast from Hobart to Campbell Town. This is the last half of the journey. WARNING: It gets no better.
In an attempt to prove they could do something no one was asking them to do in the first place, Paul and Simon record a podcast from Hobart to Campbell Town. This is the first hour of their ramblings!
This is a really strange episode. Traditionally, every ten episodes we just talk about whatever - often including details of our lives useless to everyone on earth. This one might be a little different though. There might accidentally be some incidental content!
