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.

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.

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.

In this episode of The Weekly, Jay Ewing is joined by Mark Wicks for a thoughtful conversation through John 11, the story of Lazarus. Why did Jesus wait when the one He loved was sick? What does it mean when God doesn't move according to our expectations? And how does the resurrection of Lazarus shape our hope today? This episode explores the tension of delay, grief, and misunderstanding—and the powerful truth that God reveals His glory even through death. As the story unfolds, we're reminded that Jesus is not only compassionate and present in suffering, but that He is also the One who brings dead things back to life. If Jesus can raise Lazarus, and if He can raise Himself, then resurrection hope is not just for the future—it changes how we live and trust God now.

In this episode of The Weekly, host Jay Ewing sits down with Perry Marshall to explore John 10 and the themes of belief and assurance. As Jesus walks through Solomon's Colonnade during the Feast of Dedication, He makes bold claims about His identity—claims that challenge the religious leaders and force a response from everyone listening. Together, they discuss what it means for Jesus to say, “I and the Father are one,” why people often admire Jesus' works while resisting His claims, and how believers can find deep assurance in being held securely in the hands of the Son and the Father. This conversation invites listeners—whether confident in their faith or still searching—to listen for the Shepherd's voice and consider what it truly means to believe.
