In this episode, Pastor Clark Frailey dives into our culture’s obsession with “upgrades”—whether it’s the latest phone, a new washer, or even our perspective on faith. But what happens when we carry that upgrade mentality into how we read the Bible?

Pastor Clark Frailey challenges us to reconsider our approach to the Old Testament, encouraging us not to treat it as something obsolete or irrelevant, but instead as the foundation pointing us toward Jesus. Through engaging stories and relatable examples, he shows how the laws, sacrifices, and narratives of the Old Testament are essential for understanding the bigger picture—that everything ultimately points to Christ.

As we launch this new series, you’ll hear practical tips for reading the Bible with a “Christocentric” lens—seeing how Jesus fulfills and completes the story. Get ready for fresh insights, thought-provoking questions, and a call to deepen your faith by discovering how the story of Jesus threads through the entire narrative of scripture. Let’s journey together from upgrade culture to gospel transformation!
