Pursuing Life Calvary Church Pa

Beth Weaver’s journey with Scripture memory began when she was just a young girl. When she was in middle school, she began attending bible memory camps, and by high school she had memorized an entire book of the Bible. We know that as we get older, our brains process differently, but that hasn’t stopped Beth from finding new ways memorize. In fact, she’s memorizing more in retirement than she ever has before! Today, Beth is sharing with us the practical ways that she continues to incorporate the habit of Scripture memory into her everyday life, and how we, too, can use our unique learning styles to do the same.

About two years ago, Josiah and Olivia Huss began hosting a monthly “hobby night” at their home. What started as a way for friends to get together and play games turned into a regular time where the Huss’s open their home for anyone to come spend time together over shared hobbies. Essentially, they have created a habit of hospitality. Today, they are sharing with us their heart behind regularly inviting people into their home, barriers they’ve had to overcome, and what they have learned in the midst of it all.

Kevin Gushiken is a college and seminary professor, former pastor, husband, dad, and Calvary Church member. A few years ago, the Lord prompted Kevin to begin researching how play intersects with the Christian life. His research impacted not only his view of God, but encouraged him to cultivate not just a habit, but a lifestyle of play. Kevin has become so passionate about this topic, and today he is here to share with us why he believes play so important and how it’s impacted his own life.



Be sure to pre-order your copy of Kevin’s upcoming book, A Theology of Play: Learning to Enjoy Life as God Intended, available on June 25!

Today, she is sharing how God brought her here, and what her role has been teaching her about His heart for the nations.

The final track of Cross Training is called Establish, where candidates meet with the elders for final approval to become a Global Partner. During this track, candidates are working to meet the requirements of their chosen agency, while also continuing their connection to Calvary Church.



Our newest Global Partners who are finishing out the Establish track are James and Nica Yates. You may remember hearing from James & Nica last spring, but now that they have officially been commissioned and are preparing to move overseas to Cambodia, we wanted to re-release their episode so you can be reminded of the ways God has been at work in their lives and pray for them as they are getting ready to go.
