In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey kicks off a new series called "Stop the Scroll," challenging us to rethink what true rest really means.

Instead of seeing Sabbath as just another item on our to-do lists, Pastor Clark delves into how this ancient practice can bring genuine restoration—and even resistance to the hustle culture of our digital age.

He shares the biblical roots of Sabbath, explores why God rested, and encourages us all to step away from our screens and create sacred space to experience joy, peace, and the fullness of life God designed for us.

If you’ve been feeling stressed or worn out, you’ll want to hear how incorporating a rhythm of rest might just transform your week—and your entire outlook!

✨ Are we chasing happiness in all the wrong places? On the latest Coffee Creek Church Podcast, Pastor Clark Frailey challenges the myths around generosity and reveals where true joy really comes from.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Small steps matter: Your gifts, no matter how small, can spark huge change when combined with others. Just like Salvation Army’s kettles, small donations add up to millions!

• Generosity isn’t just for the wealthy: Research shows giving boosts happiness for everyone—it doesn’t take deep pockets to make a real impact in your community.

• Real joy is found in giving, not getting: Jesus taught that sacrificial giving, like the widow’s mite in Mark 12, brings lasting fulfillment—far more than chasing the next ‘big thing.’

Coffee Creek Church’s Do Good campaign is living out these principles, with 100% of offerings going to support local nonprofit partners like the SPERO Project.

Welcome to the Coffee Creek Church Podcast! In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey dives into the second part of “The Shift” series, exploring how major cultural changes are impacting the way we live out our faith and connect with Jesus. Using real-life examples—like how Airbnb and Uber have shaken up entire industries—Pastor Clark draws a parallel to how the church can thrive by embracing decentralization, hospitality, and authentic connection, just like the early New Testament church.

You’ll hear a fresh take on discipleship, not as a top-down, professional-only endeavor, but as something every believer is empowered to do—simply by opening their homes and hearts to others. Pastor Clark shares practical ways to practice hospitality, using relatable analogies, stories from scripture (including Zacchaeus’ transformation), and invites us to see Sunday gatherings as just the appetizer for something much deeper: genuine community throughout the week.

If you’re curious about how Coffee Creek is shifting the way it builds relationships and faith—moving away from rigid structures to something more organic and welcoming—this episode will both challenge and inspire you. Plus, you’ll learn how you can get involved in upcoming home gatherings, and discover why, at Coffee Creek, serving people truly is serving Jesus.

In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey kicks off an engaging new series called “The Shift.” Pastor Clark takes us on a journey through the rapid changes happening in our world—from the days of renting DVDs at the video store to today’s instant, online connections—and challenges us to consider how the Church should adapt.

He explores the limitations of the traditional classroom approach to discipleship and highlights the powerful example set by Jesus and the early Church: gathering around tables, building real connections, and making hospitality the heart of spiritual transformation. Pastor Clark shares practical ideas for living out this shift—inviting us to move beyond content and toward meaningful community, where lives are changed around dinner tables and coffee cups, not just in pews or classrooms.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration to deepen your faith journey or fresh ideas to build community, this episode is a warm invitation to reimagine how we follow Jesus—together. So grab a mug of coffee, settle in, and join us as we explore what it means to create true belonging and transformation in our church family!
