Send us a textIn Season 4, Episode 5 of the Take Off Podcast, Thomas Clark welcomes Stephen and Juguana Bonner to continue our series on how a Disciple Making Movement (DMM) meets the real needs of a community. Together they unpack what it means to live incarnationally—to let Jesus show up through us in our first, second, and third places (where we live, work, learn, play, and hang out). From their block in Bolingbrook to everyday errands and front-yard conversations, the Bonners model simple, reproducible rhythms like 2×2×2 (worship/DBS, serving, and social momentum) that build trust, reveal needs, and invite neighbors into meaningful relationship. You’ll hear how “being present” and slowing the pace turns ordinary moments into sacred opportunities where Christ’s peace is both seen and felt.The episode then moves to the workplace, where Stephen and Joanna share honest, practical stories of representing Jesus with compassion—listening well, praying when invited, serving beyond expectations—and how small acts of kindness can open surprising doors. Thomas connects these moments to movement thinking: it’s a marathon, not a sprint; we invite people into our lives until they invite us into theirs. You’ll be encouraged to craft your “I will…” statement—what you’ll start or stop this week—and to share it with someone who will walk with you. Stay to the end for a sneak peek at the next conversation, where the Bonners show how casual, shared activities (golf, bowling, coffee) become natural on-ramps for disciple-making life together.Please consider following this podcast so that you do not miss an episode.
