In this inaugural podcast, David Dennis starts the interview with Dr. Richard Spann. Dr. Spann shares how he grew up in a Christian home, went to medical school and became the first pulmonologist in Wichita, Kansas. Although he was successful in his practice, he looked around and asked, “Lord, what else is there for me?” He was invited to a Memorize the Word course with the Navigators and ultimately met Jim Morris, who invested in him. He realized that the Lord commissioned him to be not only an evangelist but also a discipler.
