In this episode of Take Off with Thomas Clark, listeners are invited to bridge the gap between believing in Jesus and living as His disciple in everyday life. Thomas challenges us to take the next step — not just in our personal growth, but in helping others follow Jesus as disciple-makers. Rooted in Acts 11:26, he reminds us that the early believers were first called “Christians” because Jesus was visibly living through them. The same call remains today: to embody Christ so fully that people encounter His presence through our words, work, and witness. Listeners will be prompted to consider how their priorities might shift to reflect empowered, movemental discipleship that extends beyond the walls of the church into the rhythms of daily life.
Thomas explores how the life of Jesus is reproduced through His followers by the Holy Spirit, forming the essence of the church — the presence of Jesus in the people of Jesus, everywhere, all the time. Through Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 3, Titus 2, and 1 Thessalonians 1, this episode emphasizes that the gospel must be lived, not just taught. Discipleship is relational, reproducible, and deeply practical — from sharing a meal to serving a neighbor. Thomas encourages listeners to stop limiting faith to programs or events and instead live out the missio Dei through intentional imitation of Christ. This episode invites every listener to ask: What will it look like for Jesus to live through me today — and who will I help take their next step in following Him?
