Welcome to the Coffee Creek Church Podcast! In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey takes us on a thoughtful journey into the experience of grief and the importance of giving ourselves space to process loss.

Drawing from both personal stories and biblical examples, especially moments from the life of Jesus, Pastor Clark Frailey challenges our culture’s hurry to “move on” after tragedy, highlighting how true healing often comes not through activity, but through presence—being still with God and with one another.

In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey encourages us to examine the “noise” in our lives and the heavy cost it brings in the modern “attention economy.”

Pastor Clark draws on insights from Blaise Pascal, personal anecdotes, and the example of Jesus pausing for solitude, to shine a light on our struggle to sit quietly in a room alone—a challenge made even harder by constant digital distractions.

Welcome to the Coffee Creek Church Podcast! In today's episode, Pastor Clark Frailey takes us on a heartfelt journey through the meaning of Christmas and the profound message woven into the carol “O Holy Night.” Reflecting on the theme of Advent and the longing of a world caught in darkness, Pastor Clark Frailey explores how the arrival of Jesus changed history—revealing the deep worth and value God places on each of us.

With warmth and transparency, Pastor Clark Frailey challenges modern views on self-worth, reminding us that our value isn’t earned but given freely by God. Through both scripture and timeless wisdom from early church leaders, he invites us to rethink what it means to be loved and, in turn, to love others—just as Christ modeled for us.
