In this special 200th episode of The Weekly, we celebrate the journey of Calvary Bible Church’s podcast—from its beginnings during COVID to today—and reflect on what we’ve learned along the way.

But more than just looking back, this episode turns toward something deeper: how to pray.

Jay Ewing, John Boyle, and Thomas Milburn talk about the Lord’s Prayer, why prayer matters, and how you can grow in your own prayer life. Whether you’re new to prayer or have been praying for years, this conversation will help you understand prayer as more than words—it’s communion with God.

You’ll also hear:

• The story behind starting the podcast
• A fun Calvary Bible Church history quiz
• Why the Lord’s Prayer is a powerful framework
• Practical ways to deepen your prayer life

The Gospel of John is finished — seven months, 21 chapters, and one question still left unanswered: what happened to Peter? In this episode, host Jay Ewing and Senior Pastor Thomas Milburn wrap up their journey through John with a close look at John 21, where Jesus meets a failing, broken Peter on the beach and restores him — not with condemnation, but with a question: “Do you love me?”

They explore why Jesus meets us at the point of our failure, what it means to “begin again” with God, the danger of comparing your story to someone else’s, and the tailored curriculum God has for each of us. Plus: the mystery of the disciple Jesus loved, what John’s ending sounds like (a Tolkien trilogy?), and a look ahead to the summer series on prayer and wisdom.

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 episode of The Weekly, host Jay Ewing sits down with Senior Pastor Thomas Milburn to unpack Jesus’s priestly prayer in John 17 and what it means for us this Easter season.

They explore Jesus as the new Adam in the garden, what it really means to be “glorified,” why God’s deepest desire is simply your presence, and how the Holy Spirit — not clever words — is what truly changes hearts. Plus: the parable of the wedding banquet, praying for unity and revival, and why Easter is the most diverse gathering on planet Earth.
