  • Episode 195 – Called to Hope - The Weekly
    Mar 4 2026
    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

  • Episode 194 – The Least, The Last, and The Lost - The Weekly
    Feb 11 2026
    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.

  • Episode 191 – When Jesus Waits - The Weekly
    Jan 21 2026
    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.

  • Episode 190 – Belief & Assurance - The Weekly
    Jan 14 2026
    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.
