The Calvary Cast

On this near banter-less episode, Jess and Graham discuss John Piper's favorite movie, marriage and the patriarchy. What do all these things have in common? Listen to find out. In trying to answer the question, "What is marriage for?" the guys give five guiding principles to help orient our marriages around what the Bible says that marriages is for.

On this episode, Graham can't pronounce "loquacious" and Jess uses the term "jonesing." All this and more before they get into the topic of the day: Are Roman Catholics Christians? This is an important question to ask and answer, and by comparing the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church with the teachings of the scriptures, we can come up with a very conclusive and definitive answer.

On this episode, after a slightly disastrous start to the podcast, the guys get the train back on the tracks to discuss, "the Gospel." This is a topic that most everyone should be familiar with, but yet its depths can never be fully explored. Jess and Graham try to answer the question: > What is the gospel > What are the essential elements of the gospel? > What are concise ways to remember what th...

On this 129th episode of The Calvary Cast, recorded on a dreary Wednesday, Jess and Graham invite you to laugh along with them and at them as they banter together for a few minutes before getting to the topic of the day: The most important doctrine you don't think about enough.

Topic of the day: Singing essentials (no, we're not talking about starting a barbershop quartet) -Why C...

After blabbering on about the weather like old men, and being flabbergasted over the fact that The Calvary Cast turns 5 this month, Graham and Jess dive into the topic of the day: Topic of the Day: Should Christians attend same-sex weddings? This topic comes up because of the recent statements made by Alistair Begg who counseled a Christian woman to attend such an event. This has led to no little...

On this (perhaps the longest episode yet), Jess and Graham traverse all sorts of topics. The idea behind this podcast was to give you a glimpse into some of the conversations they have in the office each week, conversations around what they're studying, reading listening to and planning for. But before all that, enjoy a few minutes of hilarity as the guys do five fast facts you didn't need to know...

On this episode... Jess and Graham throw some shade in jest at another podcast, and are immediately reminded that pride comes before the fall. Topic of the day: theological triage.

On this episode, Graham and Jess do their usual thing, a little bit of banter, talk about a book, and then get into the topic of the day, eldering. Who's an elder, what's an elder, am I an elder? Jesus gives to his church this office of elder, pastor/teacher, overseer. So what does the New Testament teach about these roles and their functions, and how do we implement these teachings at CBC?

On this 118th episode of The Calvary Cast: Graham and Jess banter about microphones, prematurely jump into the topic of the day, only to banter some more, before returning to the topic of the day: every member ministry. The New Testament clearly lays out a vision of ministry that is not limited to certain people, but is something the entire body of Christ is doing together. So, how is every member...

Packer (not all in that order) And as always, a little bit of banter at the beginning.

On this episode, after evaluating Christian singer Carmen's masterpiece, The Resurrection Rap, the guys wonder whether this podcast will even be worth putting out (it's out, whether its worthwhile or not is up to the listener to discern) The topic of the day: what kind of church is Calvary? People ask, "what kind of church is a Bible church," so we attempt to answer that question. First, historica...

On this episode, Graham and Jess banter more about facial hair and cookies and other random nonsense before getting into the meat of the podcast, encouragement in the battle against sin.

On this 113th episode, which Graham was confused about in the beginning, the guys ramble for a bit about coffee, hot chocolate, cookies and mustaches, yes, mustaches. The rest of the podcast is a follow up and further explanation from Graham's sermon on Roman 8:12-14. How do we mortify sin in our lives?

On this episode, Jess drinks coffee without creamer in it. Graham does a weird voice and hits the wrong button. Then they continue their series of podcasts going through Stephen Charnock's work, "On the Goodness of God." On this episode they cover Charnock's defense of God's goodness. This is necessary because so many people don't see how God could be good in a world filled with evil and suffering...
