    Episode 175: Mystery and Theology
    Feb 18 2026
    On this episode, Graham and Jess banter about banter and talk about the Olympics. (Skip to the 5:00 mark if you're one of those people who do not like the banter.) The meat of the podcast has to do with the role of mystery in our theology. One author has said that the majestic mystery of God is the most motivating thing for Christian worship. Is this true? What do we mean when we talk about mystery and theology, or mystery in God? That is what the guys set out to help us contemplate in this episode.

    On this episode, the guys banter for three minutes and thirteen seconds, then talk about a book, before answer listener submitted questions. From the silly to the serious, there's a little bit of everything on this episode: sabbatarianism, cessationism, pistol shrimp, Martin Luther, and why Jess was told the first thing he needed to know going into ministry was that he was not a protestant (!). All this and more, on the 170th episode of The Calvary Cast.

  • Episode 169: How Often Can You Skip Church

    Episode 169: How Often Can You Skip Church
    Oct 29 2025
    On this episode, Graham and Jess banter about cutting off limbs with chainsaws and hunting for Christmas trees. They then discuss the book of the month, "Chosen by God," by R.C. Sproul. In the last, and longest segment, they discuss skipping church. How many times can we skip church in a year? Is there a certain number of days you can be gone, like vacation days from work? What do we mean in our membership commitments when we say we will attend, “unless providentially hindered”? We hope this discussion will be thought-provoking as you reflect on your relationship with the local church.
