Training Your Entire Health Center to Have a Spiritual Impact in Your Community

How can a health center not only meet physical needs but also cultivate a culture of whole-person care that transforms lives spiritually? In this CCHFTalk episode, recorded live as a workshop at the 2025 CCHF Conference, Dr. Paul Lorentsen, Dr. David Tellez, and Gary Plooster, MBA, share how the Neighborhood Christian Clinic has equipped staff, volunteers, and students to integrate faith into daily patient care.

Drawing from over 25 years of experience, the speakers unpack a vision for whole-person care that empowers every member of a health center—from physicians to front desk staff—to see themselves as part of the Great Commission. They discuss practical strategies for spiritual histories, prayer with patients, using scripture, and creating training tools (including a free online curriculum) to prepare providers for gospel-centered impact in their communities and beyond.

Whether you lead a clinic, serve as a healthcare professional, or want to learn how to faithfully weave spiritual care into medical practice, this episode offers inspiration and practical guidance to help you multiply Kingdom impact through healthcare.
