Summary
After a summer break, the triumvirate is back together to talk about books and biography. Kevin and Justin highlight some of their favorite books from the past few months, and Collin talks about the Tim Keller biography (of sorts) he has coming in the months ahead. Before getting to the books, the three friends discuss the latest news regarding Matt Chandler’s leave of absence from The Village Church and what lessons there may be for all of us.

| 0:00.0 | Greetings and salutations. Welcome back to life and books and everything. I'm Kevin D. Young, and we have Justin Taylor and Colin Hansen. |
| 0:24.5 | I know most of you are probably listening to this, but if you are watching, we got an excellent triple box. |
| 0:29.6 | I feel like we are on ESPN's first take or Around the Horn or one of those shows. |
| 0:36.0 | We can give our hot takes. There has been a great |
| 0:39.9 | demand for commentary on the Northwestern Nebraska game, but perhaps for Justin's sake, we should |
| 0:47.2 | forego such commentary? It would be a mercy. I mean, it is, I have a lot of Nebraska family and I got Northwestern |
| 0:59.2 | connections too. So I wasn't sure who to root for since Collins, Northwestern. I guess I was |
| 1:05.4 | rooting for Nebraska because of the family and because Collins' backup team is Alabama. Come on. You had no sympathy. |
| 1:13.0 | It's true. Yeah, when your second team is Alabama, it's kind of like the people are like, |

| 1:41.2 | Oh, okay. |
| 1:42.0 | All right. |
| 1:42.3 | Well, we just lost their moms listing. Good to have you guys |
| 1:47.8 | here. If we have time, we'll maybe do a little summer recap and talk about some summer |
| 1:53.5 | books or some summer book projects. I do want to mention our sponsor. We got a couple of books to mention, one here at the beginning |
| 2:02.5 | from Crossway, The Epic Story of the Bible, How to Read and Understand God's Word, written |
| 2:09.2 | by our epic friend, the one and only Greg Gilbert. Many Christians view the Bible as a book |
| 2:16.1 | that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. |
