Calvary Bible Church - Boulder

What can a group of high school students teach us about the gospel? In this episode of The Weekly, Erie High School Director Taylor Johnson reflects on a recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic, where students partnered with local churches, shared the gospel, and saw God at work in powerful ways. Through stories of faith, evangelism, and cross-cultural ministry, Taylor shares how the experience reminded everyone involved of a profound truth: the gospel is simpler—and more powerful—than we often realize. Join us for an encouraging conversation about student ministry, missions, and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.
