It's Palm Sunday at Calvary Bible Church; a day to commemorate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.As we enter Holy Week, Pastor Eric is tackling a topic we all face - life and death. How can we face death with hope? Death is inescapable. Its impact is felt deeply in our own lives, and all around us. In John 11, Jesus responds to the death of his friend Lazarus, and we see how God's plans are often bigger than we know.God is present with us in our grief, and Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. He came to turn death on its head, and bring Life After Death.
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.

Endurance with faith in our lives. The post To Know & Grow: Hebrews 12 appeared first on CALVARY BIBLE CHURCH.
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

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.
