In Season 3 of Take Off with Thomas Clark, we’re exploring how followers of Jesus can live with both power and humility, authority and compassion — what it means to embody the robust gospel in a world filled with outrage and imbalance. Episode 11, We Need Biblical Community, calls us back to the core rhythms that shaped Jesus’ own life: Up, In, and Out. He spent time up with the Father, lived in community with His followers, and moved out to serve those far from God. When any of these rhythms are missing, discipleship becomes lopsided and the Church loses her witness.

This episode unpacks how those rhythms find their most natural and transformative expression in missional communities and microchurches—spiritual families, rooted in everyday life, where Jesus is King. These communities are not about size or programs but about a lifestyle that is simple, reproducible, and scalable. Through the lens of Micah 6:8, we’ll examine how to act justly (out), love mercy (in), and walk humbly with God (up), rediscovering what it means to be the Church in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. The question isn’t just what you’ll learn — it’s what you’ll live. What is God calling you to start or join that helps you live the rhythms of up, in, and out?
