In Season 7, Episode 5 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores why movements do not begin with scale, structure, or visibility—they begin with disciples who reproduce.

In Season 7, Episode 2 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark asks a needed question: How do we know whether disciple-making is actually happening?

This conversation calls ...

In Season 6, Episode 5 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark brings the season to its final and practical conclusion by asking: What does it actually look like to live under the reign of Jesus?

In Season 6, Episode 4 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores what it really means to say, “Jesus is Lord.” If Jesus is Lord, then our allegiance cannot remain divided. It must be reordered.

In Season 6, Episode 3 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores a question many people feel but do not always know how to name: If Jesus is Lord, what does His power actually look like?

What does it actually mean for Jesus to be Lord of us? In this episode, Thomas Clark brings the confession “Jesus is Lord” out of the abstract and into everyday life—because lordship isn’t just theology, it’s formation. Many of us can affirm Jesus as Lord and still resist His leadership, and that contradiction reveals how we’ve been shaped by a version of faith where Jesus is pers...
In Season 6, Episode 1 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark revisits one of the most familiar—and most misunderstood—confessions of the Christian faith: “Jesus is Lord.”
What if this phrase was never meant to be casual, private, or devotional-only? What if it was always intended to disrupt, confront, and reorder everything?
In this episode, Thomas explores how this early Christian confession c...
In this episode of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores what it truly means to move from faithful practices to multiplying people.

Rather than offering a formula or strategy, Thomas names what has proven faithful over time within a ...
In this episode of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark explores a vital discipleship truth: we are scattered on purpose and sent to specific places.
