In this episode, Pastor John and Andrew kick off a brand-new seriesAt Home in the Vinewith sermon 1 from John 15:1-11. The big idea is straightforward but cuts deep: your spiritual home is not built on performance. It is found by abiding in Christ, where his love is already complete, and his joy becomes full. They talk through what performance-based Christianity actually looks like in everyday lif...

In this episode of the After Sunday podcast, Pastor John and Andrew sit down after a Father's Day sermon from Romans 15:57. A lot of people have learned not to expect much from a church not because they stopped believing, but because they have been judged, talked about, and welcomed on the surface while being frozen out beneath the surface. This episode is for those people. They talk through what...

In this episode, Pastor John and Andrew tackle sermon 4 of the Better Together series -- Better Together When We Bear One Another's Burdens. They open with a listener question that cuts to the heart of why so many people are leaving churches today: How do you create a culture where sharing a prayer request is actually safe and leads to genuine care rather than community gossip? From there, the con...

In this episode, Pastor John and Andrew sit down after sermon 3 of the Better Together series -- Better Together When We Learn from One Another. The text is Titus 2 and the big idea is straightforward: Calvary Baptist is better together when each generation lives out its God-given calling and actively seeks to form the generations that follow.

This week on After Sunday, Pastor John and Andrew sit down after a special Family Worship Sunday that included both a baptism and the Lord's Supper. The sermon came from 1 Corinthians 10 and 11 and landed on one of the most overlooked details in the institution of the Lord's Supperthat the words "delivered" and "betrayed" share the same Greek root. On the night Jesus was handed over to his enemies...

What does it actually take to put someone else first? Not just feel like it actually do it? In this episode of After Sunday, Pastor John and Andrew unpack Sunday's message from Romans 12:913 and Philippians 2:14. The sermon landed on one word that most people skip right past in that passage preferring and built an entire case for why genuine, outward-turned love is not something you manufacture by...

In this episode, Pastor John and Andrew sit down after Sunday's message "Better Together Than Apart" from 1 Corinthians 12:1220. The sermon didn't pull any punches and neither does this conversation. They dig into the generational tension that shows up in almost every church, why the real enemy isn't diversity but immaturity, and what it looks like to stop vying for the church you prefer and start...

There is a moment in every storm when the questions change. You stop asking when will this end and start asking something that cuts much deeper: Does God know what I am going through? And if He does, does He truly care? The disciples asked that question on the worst night of their lives. Judas had already slipped into the dark. The cross was hours away. Everything they had staked their lives on wa...

On the night before the cross, Jesus sat in the upper room with steady hands and gave His disciples everything they would ever need to stand unafraid in a world of chaos. A Guide who would never leave them. A peace the world couldn't match. And a command that was only possible because of what He had already secured. In this episode of After Sunday, Pastor John is joined by Associate Pastor of Wors...

Humility is one of those things we know we need but quietly hope God doesn't ask too much of us. In this episode of After Sunday, we sit down to unpack last Sunday's message on the beauty of humility and we're starting with two questions submitted by listeners that the sermon left wide open. Is it possible to pursue humility for the wrong reasons? And if you struggle with pride and arrogance, what...

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus not just on Sunday, but on Monday morning when the chaos is real, and the road is hard? This week on After Sunday, Pastor John Hester and Pastor Andrew sit down to go deeper into Sunday's message The Map of Obedience from John 14:1524. This is not a recap. It is a conversation between two pastors who believe the sermon is the beginning of the work, n...

Every Sunday a sermon ends and a conversation begins. This is that conversation. Pastor John Hester and Pastor Andrew sit down after the weekend message and keep talking. No scripts. No performance. Just two pastors who love the Word, love their church, and love the honest conversation that happens when Sunday morning is over and the real talking can begin. This week they dig into the first sermon...
