In this week’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey invites us to step beyond a checklist faith and into a life-transforming journey with Jesus.

Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Pastor Clark reflects on the difference between following rules to the letter and truly embracing the heart behind them. He challenges us to move past surface-level religion and experience the deep change Jesus invites us into—a life where faith isn’t about legalistic checklists, but about becoming more like Christ each day.

Whether you’re new to these teachings or you’re a longtime listener, get ready to dive into what it really means to live out Jesus’ words, not just know them. Let’s discover together how we can live abundantly and love others just as Jesus did.

In this uplifting episode, Pastor Clark Frailey invites us to reflect on our faith in everyday life, tackling the big question: Should faith be kept private, or are we called to let it shine?

Drawing from Jesus’ teaching about being the "salt of the earth" and "light of the world," Pastor Clark explores why our good deeds are meant to point others toward God, not ourselves. You'll hear relatable stories, real-life humor, and practical encouragement to bring light into your workplaces, homes, and friendships.

With insights from C.S. Lewis and examples from the Sermon on the Mount, this episode is all about living authentically, boldly blessing others, and course correcting when needed.

Whether you’re feeling on track, doubting your faith, or just needing a spark of inspiration, this conversation offers hope and a reminder: the world doesn’t need louder opinions—it needs brighter lives. So grab your coffee and join us as we embrace the call to let our light shine!
