  1. Episode 199 – Begin Again - The Weekly

    4D AGO

    Episode 199 – Begin Again - The Weekly

    The Gospel of John is finished — but not before one final, unresolved question: what happened to Peter? In this closing episode of their journey through John, host Jay Ewing and Senior Pastor Thomas Milburn land in John 21, where Jesus meets a broken, failing Peter on the beach and restores him — not with shame, but with a simple question: "Do you love me?" Along the way they explore what it means to begin again with God, the trap of comparing your story to someone else's, and the personalized curriculum of formation God has for each of us. They also unpack the mystery of the disciple Jesus loved, reflect on John's extraordinary ending, and look ahead to the summer series on prayer and wisdom.

  2. Episode 198 – Where I Cast My Anchor - The Weekly

    APR 1

    Episode 198 – Where I Cast My Anchor - The Weekly

    What did John Knox ask to have read to him on his deathbed? John 17 — because it was there, he said, that he first cast his anchor. In this Holy Week conversation, host Jay Ewing sits down with Senior Pastor Thomas Milburn to explore Jesus's priestly prayer and what it means that the God of the universe desires your presence. Together they unpack Jesus as the new Adam in the garden, the meaning of glory, and why the Holy Spirit — not persuasive words — is what truly changes hearts. Plus: the parable of the wedding banquet, John Knox's dying request, and why Easter Sunday is the most diverse gathering on planet Earth.

  3. Episode 197 – From Sorrow to Joy - The Weekly

    MAR 25

    Episode 197 – From Sorrow to Joy - The Weekly

    What does it look like to have joy in the middle of suffering — not someday in eternity, but right now? In this episode, Jay Ewing sits down with Brody Young, student ministry pastor at Calvary Bible Church's Thornton campus, to work through John 16 and Jesus's farewell words to his disciples. They dig into the difference between happiness and joy, why prayer is the anchor when life feels too hard to navigate alone, and what Jesus actually meant when he told his disciples "I have overcome the world." Along the way, Brody shares the story of Saint Patrick's faith forged in slavery, a moving insight from a friend walking through serious illness, and what it means to grieve — and hope — like a Christian. Whether you're in a hard season or just want to go deeper in John, this is a conversation worth your time.

  4. Episode 196 – The Gospel in Color - The Weekly

    MAR 11

    Episode 196 – The Gospel in Color - The Weekly

    Jay Ewing calls in live from Turkey on the final night of a 10-day trip through the Seven Churches of Revelation — walking the roads of Paul's missionary journeys, standing in the ruins of Ephesus, and discovering what it means to read the Bible in full color. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to see Scripture come alive boots-on-the-ground, this episode will encourage your faith and change how you read the New Testament.

  5. Episode 195 – Called to Hope - The Weekly

    MAR 4

    Episode 195 – Called to Hope - The Weekly

    Life is heavy. Relationships, health, finances, loneliness, parenting — the hard things pile up fast. But what if hope isn't about your circumstances changing? What if it's something deeper, something that can hold even when nothing else does? This week, Amy Drake sits down with Jennie Fletemeyer and Lori Wurth to recap Calvary Bible Church's Women's Retreat, where 200 women gathered in Estes Park for a weekend called Called to Hope. They walk through the retreat's four sessions — Rising Hope, Living Hope, Enduring Hope, and Rejoicing in Hope — and share what it looks like to exchange wishful thinking for a biblical hope rooted in the character and promises of Jesus Christ. They talk about what it really means to "cast" your cares on God (hint: it's more like a full-arm chuck than a gentle handoff), why sadness and hope aren't opposites, and how a room full of women singing together, taking communion, and yes — accidentally starting a conga line — can remind you that joy is still available, no matter what chapter you're living in. Whether you're in a hard season or just need a reminder of where to anchor your heart, this conversation is honest, warm, and full of hope. Theme passage: 1 Peter 1:3–5

  6. Episode 194 – The Least, The Last, and The Lost - The Weekly

    FEB 11

    Episode 194 – The Least, The Last, and The Lost - The Weekly

    Host Jay Ewing is joined by Pastor Emeritus Tom Shirk as he returns to full-time ministry at Calvary Bible Church following his sabbatical. After over 33 years as Senior Pastor, Tom shares his unique reflections on the "end of an era," the beauty of a healthy leadership transition, and the peace of knowing the church's best days are still ahead. In this deep dive into John 13, Jay and Tom explore the "Upper Room Discourse"—the final, vital instructions Jesus gave His friends before the cross. They discuss: The Theology of the Basin: How Jesus washing the disciples' feet serves as a tangible picture of the Incarnation. The Audacity of Grace: The staggering reality of Jesus washing the feet of Judas, even knowing the betrayal to come. Proximate vs. Changed: A sobering look at why it is possible to be near the things of God without having a transformed heart. A Call to Action: Moving beyond grand gestures to find God in the small acts of serving "the least, the last, and the lost". Whether you are navigating a transition in your own life or seeking a deeper understanding of Christ’s humility, this episode offers a roadmap for living as a servant-leader in a secular world.

  7. Episode 193 – Paying Attention - The Weekly

    FEB 4

    Episode 193 – Paying Attention - The Weekly

    In this episode of The Weekly from Calvary Bible Church, Jay Ewing is joined by Perry Marshall for a conversation centered on one simple challenge: pay attention. As Calvary continues through the Gospel of John, Jay and Perry reflect on why John slows down so dramatically as Jesus enters the final week of His earthly ministry. They explore themes like light and darkness, the temptation to pursue the glory of man, and how Jesus reveals the Father with clarity, purpose, and love. This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay present in the Scriptures, and refocus on what’s most fundamental to following Jesus.

  8. Episode 192 – Full Send Faith - The Weekly

    JAN 28

    Episode 192 – Full Send Faith - The Weekly

    What does it look like to go “full send” in your faith — fully following Jesus and fully living as someone sent by Him? In this episode of The Weekly, Jay Ewing sits down with Jennie Fletemeyer to recap an incredible Middle School Winter Weekend, unpack the meaning behind the theme Full Send, and reflect on how God uses wilderness seasons to speak clearly, grow our faith, and prepare us for what’s next. From discipleship pathways and parent-centered ministry, to a popcorn illustration that literally caught fire — this conversation is full of encouragement, vision, and practical insight for families, students, and anyone longing to follow Jesus with courage.
