In this week's message from Pastor Clark Frailey, he tackles what it means to build a solid foundation in life—not just planning for calm days, but preparing for the inevitable storms.

Here are 3 takeaways:

-Prepare for the Storms, Not Just the Sunshine: Life isn’t always smooth sailing. Pastor Clark shared the story of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure—built for calm, not chaos—and related it to our personal lives. Are we truly ready when adversity hits?

-Anchor Yourself Through Sabbath: The Sabbath isn’t just a religious tradition, but a practical weekly reset—a “muster drill for the soul.” By taking time every week to rest, reconnect, and anchor ourselves in faith, we’re building spiritual resilience for whatever comes our way.

-Practice Makes Peaceful: Just as athletes or crisis responders are prepared through repeated practice, spiritual practices like prayer, community, and worship build up our “spiritual muscles,” so we’re not easily shaken when the winds pick up.

Remember: storms are guaranteed, but panic isn’t. Preparation, anchored in faith, is the key. 🙏

How do you anchor yourself to ride out life’s storms? Let’s connect and share ideas!

💡 What do your garage sales say about your values? On this week’s Coffee Creek Church Podcast, Pastor Clark Frailey explores the deeper meaning behind the tangible and intangible things we treasure—and how our investments reveal what truly matters.

Drawing wisdom from the Sermon on the Mount and his own garage sale adventures (you’ll want to hear about the $3 Bible!), Pastor Clark encourages us to take stock of both our material belongings and our hearts.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Your Treasure Reflects Your Heart: Where you spend your time, energy, and resources isn’t random—it’s an honest report card of your values. If you want to know what’s truly important to you, look at your calendar and your checkbook.

Temporary vs. Eternal Investments: Jesus challenges us not to prioritize possessions that fade, rust, or get eaten by moths. Instead, invest in relationships, encouragement, generosity, and purpose—the “treasures in heaven” that last.

Generosity is a Spiritual Practice: Generosity isn’t just for those with a special “gift.” Pastor Clark urges planned, intentional acts of kindness—whether that’s time, money, or encouragement. Schedule your generosity and watch your perspective shift.

What you fund is what you’ll follow. Let’s align our values with what matters most and become a little more like Jesus, one intentional step at a time.

This week, Pastor Clark Frailey shares a powerful message about the unseen work that paves the way for transformation—using stories from his Space Camp days and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6.

Here are 3 key takeaways for your life and leadership:

Private Preparation Fuels Public Success: Just as space missions are powered by countless quiet hours of training and preparation, our spiritual growth happens away from the spotlight, in intentional, private moments of prayer and reflection.

Embrace the Furnace of Solitude: Drawing from the wisdom of Henri Nouwen, Pastor Clark reminds us that solitude is the 'furnace of transformation,' where we encounter God and our true selves, breaking free from false identities imposed by society.

Start Small, See Big Results: You don’t need hours to begin—just five minutes each morning, away from distractions, can reset your focus, realign your spirit, and lead to lasting transformation over time.

If we dedicated ourselves to these quiet practices, imagine the impact—not just on ourselves, but on the communities we serve.

How are you making time for quiet transformation in your daily routine?
