In Season 5, Episode 2 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores a foundational truth for disciple-making movements: God does not send isolated individuals—He sends a people. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, this episode challenges the deeply individualistic assumptions many of us carry and invites listeners to rediscover God’s design for mission as communal, shared, and embodied life together.
Thomas unpacks the difference between crowds and community, audience and body, and shows how Jesus formed a people—not solo heroes—to live sent lives in real places with real problems. From the life of Abraham to the formation of the early church, we see that God’s mission has always moved through a collective shaped together in tension, trust, and shared obedience. This episode calls listeners to move from isolation to collaboration, to resist burnout disguised as faithfulness, and to embrace discipleship as a shared way of life.
As always, the episode ends with a reflection question and a practical “I will…” invitation, helping you discern how God may be calling you to live His mission with others where you live, work, learn, and play.
