Dr. Richard Spann discusses some of the unique contributions and approaches the Kansas Communities Ministry (KCM) has brought to the table when it comes to making disciples. In particular the KCM emphasizes the tremendous importance of the Word of God and getting it into the lives of people as well as the importance of investing in individuals. He points out the differences between large group, small group and one on one ministry and how each is important. Finally he relates how he might find those who are seeking to grow in the Lord and how he might initiate a mentoring relationship with someone.

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.
