After a season of personal loss and reflection, the truth of the resurrection shines even brighter—reminding us that Christ’s victory over darkness is real, life-changing, and available for everyone.

Three key takeaways from our teaching:

The Resurrection is the Linchpin of Our Faith: As Paul says in 1 Corinthians, if Christ has not been raised, our faith is useless. But because He has, everything changes for human history and for us individually.

Transformation Is Not Passive—It's a Choice: Jesus offers victory over darkness, but we each get to choose whether we step into that light. Spiritual growth requires daily, intentional habits—practices like loving God, doing good, and repeating these actions.

Hope Shines Brightest in the Darkest Moments: Whether you’re facing doubts, loss, or chaos, the resurrection is God’s promise that darkness doesn’t get the last word. His light is for you, today and every day.

In our latest episode, we reflected on life’s toughest questions and the comfort we can find in faith. Drawing from the story of Job and the journey of Jesus, we explored how suffering often leaves us searching for answers, and yet faith invites us to seek something greater than explanations.

Key Takeaways:

1. Explanations don’t heal wounds—presence does. In moments of deep pain, knowing why brings little comfort, but knowing Who walks with us through suffering can bring hope and strength.

2. God can handle your honesty. Both Job and Jesus cried out in raw honesty, reminding us that we don’t need to perform or pretend before God—He welcomes our doubts, questions, and struggles.

3. Community matters. We aren’t meant to bear burdens alone. Church is a place to process pain together, to pray for each other, and to point each other toward Jesus and new hope.

Are you or someone you know walking through unanswered questions? Our doors—and our hearts—are open.

In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey invites us to reflect on those moments when we feel closest to God—whether that's on a mountaintop in Colorado, in the quiet of our daily lives, or during meaningful spiritual experiences. But what if connecting with God wasn’t limited to special moments or certain places?

Drawing from John chapter 1, Pastor Clark Frailey explores how Jesus’ arrival changed everything, breaking down the barriers between us and the divine. No longer do we need to visit a specific spot or wait for the perfect circumstance—God has come close, making His dwelling among us. Pastor Clark Frailey unpacks the powerful imagery of the tabernacle from the Old Testament and shows how, through Jesus, God’s presence isn’t just temporary or confined, but available to each of us, everywhere and always.

Whether you’re new to faith, returning after some time away, or seeking deeper understanding, this episode is a reminder that God is closer than you think—and you’re invited to experience an abundant, daily walk with Him. So grab your coffee, get comfortable, and join us on this journey into the heart of what it means to dwell with God.

In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey digs into the sometimes-overlooked figure Melchizedek. He unpacks how people once relied on priests as go-betweens to reach God, and explores how Jesus changed all that, becoming the ultimate and perfect bridge between us and the divine.

Along the way, you’ll hear about Old Testament traditions, mysterious blessings, and how Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection opened up completely new possibilities for us to connect directly with God—no middleman required.

Whether you’re familiar with Old Testament priesthood or hearing about Melchizedek for the first time, this episode offers a warm, engaging, and insightful look at why Jesus’s role as both King and High Priest matters for us today.

In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey explores the theme of leadership, digging into what makes a king truly worth following. Kicking off with familiar stories about famous Oklahomans—including a fun nod to Chuck Norris—Pastor Clark Frailey draws parallels between local pride and the significance of coming from small, overlooked places like Bethlehem. He contrasts King David, the charismatic and courageous leader from the Old Testament, with Jesus, who redefines what it means to rule by leading with humility, sacrifice, and divine authority.

If you’re curious about how faith, history, and everyday life intersect, and you’re ready for a clear, positive message about following the King worth following, this episode is packed with both insight and hope.

In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey draws on the nostalgic game Oregon Trail to set up a deep conversation about leadership, trust, and spiritual journey. He reflects on the classic challenges of the game—where survival isn’t easy and reaching the destination takes perseverance—and connects this pioneer spirit to Moses, one of the greatest leaders in the Old Testament.

But the message doesn’t stop with Moses. Pastor Clark Frailey explores how, while Moses led the Israelites with courage and faith, he ultimately pointed forward to someone even greater—Jesus. Through vivid metaphors, like the difference between the moon’s reflective light and the sun’s powerful radiance, Pastor Clark Frailey illustrates how Jesus becomes the true and better leader, fulfilling and surpassing what came before.

In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey dives into our culture’s obsession with “upgrades”—whether it’s the latest phone, a new washer, or even our perspective on faith. But what happens when we carry that upgrade mentality into how we read the Bible?

Pastor Clark Frailey challenges us to reconsider our approach to the Old Testament, encouraging us not to treat it as something obsolete or irrelevant, but instead as the foundation pointing us toward Jesus. Through engaging stories and relatable examples, he shows how the laws, sacrifices, and narratives of the Old Testament are essential for understanding the bigger picture—that everything ultimately points to Christ.

As we launch this new series, you’ll hear practical tips for reading the Bible with a “Christocentric” lens—seeing how Jesus fulfills and completes the story. Get ready for fresh insights, thought-provoking questions, and a call to deepen your faith by discovering how the story of Jesus threads through the entire narrative of scripture. Let’s journey together from upgrade culture to gospel transformation!

In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey invites us to explore the powerful difference between being fans of Jesus and being true followers. Drawing on stories from sports fandoms and the awe-inspiring feats of Olympic athletes, Pastor Clark Frailey draws a compelling parallel to spiritual life: knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as actually following Him.

Focusing on the story of Jesus’ first miracle—turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana—Pastor Clark Frailey reminds us that faith means taking action, even when we don’t see the whole picture. He challenges us to reflect on where we might be holding back, waiting for certainty instead of stepping out in trust. With practical encouragement, biblical insight, and a few light-hearted moments, this episode is a call to move from admiration to participation—joining in the bigger story of what Jesus is doing in the world.
