The Weekly Podcast

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.

As Calvary begins a new season in the Gospel of John, Jay Ewing is joined by Mark Wicks to explore John 10 and Jesus' declaration, “I am the Good Shepherd.” This conversation reflects on what it means to experience the abundant life Jesus promises, the humility and sacrifice at the heart of His leadership, and how we learn to recognize His voice amid the noise of the world. The episode closes with a reading of Psalm 23, offering a prayerful reminder of the comfort, guidance, and hope we have in Christ. Learn more at calvarybible.com

As we approach Christmas, where does real hope come from? In this episode of The Weekly, Jay Ewing and Thomas reflect on Advent and Isaiah 9:6, exploring the powerful names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. They discuss how these titles reveal who Jesus truly is, why His coming matters, and how Advent calls us to live with expectation and readiness for His return. This conversation invites listeners to slow down during a busy season, anchor their hope in Christ, and rediscover the depth and meaning of Advent.

Mark Wicks and Zach Thompson dive into John 8 to explore abiding in Christ, the difference between union and communion, and how we experience real freedom from slavery to sin. They also walk through Calvary's six marks of a disciple and preview the upcoming Advent series focused on longing for Jesus' return.

Dive into an enlightening conversation with John Boyle, as he and host Jay Ewing explore the profound themes of light and darkness within the Gospel of John, particularly John 8. They discuss the spiritual reality we face and how Jesus' teachings can guide us back to the light. Join us for insights on living a life aligned with truth and love.

When life doesn't go as planned, when prayers go unanswered, and faith feels uncertain — how do you keep saying yes to Jesus? In this week's episode, Jay and Thomas unpack John 6 and the moment when many of Jesus' followers walked away. Peter's response still resonates today: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life.” Together they talk about what it means to keep trusting Jesus when things don't make sense, how God's grace draws us to Himself, and why faith often involves risk, surrender, and hope. They also explore the first of Jesus' “I Am” statements — “I am the bread of life” — and what that tells us about who He is and how He satisfies our deepest needs. In This Episode: • Why we keep saying yes to Jesus • How God draws us by grace • When God's “no” becomes an invitation to deeper trust • What it means to feed on the bread of life #calvarybible

In this episode of the Weekly Jay Ewing and Thomas Milburn discuss the transition from the Advent season back to the study of First Corinthians, specifically addressing Paul's exploration of eating meat sacrificed to idols. The conversation highlights how Paul emphasizes decision-making through four key lenses: the impact on the church, on unbelievers, on personal freedom, and ultimately on the glory of God. The speakers also reflect on the temptation faced by the Corinthian church, encouraging listeners to remember the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation for making choices that build up the community of believers. Ultimately, they underscore the importance of staying connected to God and community to avoid the pitfalls of temptation and idolatry, linking personal struggles to a broader understanding of God's presence and grace. 00:00 - Welcome to The Weekly 02:55 - The Calvary Cup 05:26 - 4 Lenses of Paul's Letter to the Romans 10:28 - First Corinthians: The Test of Spiritual Blessing 15:40 - Paul on Praying for a Spiritual Blessing 17:32 - Paul's Old Testament Hermeneutic 21:54 - The Meaning of Jesus' Words 22:14 - The Temptation in Chapter 10 23:25 - Hebrews 4, The Way Out 24:57 - Choosing the Right to Do Things 26:29 - Temptation in the Gospel 28:23 - How to Get Out of Temptations 29:37 - Paul's Letter to the Corinthian Church 31:36 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.

Note for audio podcast: From 4:20-7:07 Thomas' mic cuts out. We've done our best to allow you to hear what Thomas says through Jay's mic. It's audible but the quality isn't good. Thomas' mic returns at 7:07 and the audio is good from that point on.
