In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey invites us to explore the powerful difference between being fans of Jesus and being true followers. Drawing on stories from sports fandoms and the awe-inspiring feats of Olympic athletes, Pastor Clark Frailey draws a compelling parallel to spiritual life: knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as actually following Him.

Focusing on the story of Jesus’ first miracle—turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana—Pastor Clark Frailey reminds us that faith means taking action, even when we don’t see the whole picture. He challenges us to reflect on where we might be holding back, waiting for certainty instead of stepping out in trust. With practical encouragement, biblical insight, and a few light-hearted moments, this episode is a call to move from admiration to participation—joining in the bigger story of what Jesus is doing in the world.
