From Spectator to Participant: Discovering Your Place in God’s Story

  • 23:10
  • August 3rd 2026

In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey dives into what it means to move beyond simply being present and start truly investing in your purpose and community. Sharing personal stories—from hilarious Xbox sessions with his kids to insightful memories as a volunteer firefighter—Pastor Clark explores the difference between being interested and being invested, and why God invites each of us to get "off the bench" and get in the game.


Discover how you are uniquely gifted, why you matter deeply in God's plan, and how serving can transform not just lives around you, but your own connection with God. Whether you’re just curious about faith or looking for your next step at Coffee Creek, this episode will encourage and inspire you to lean into your purpose and make a difference right where you are.
