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?
