Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Discipleship.” Dr. David Nelms joined us to explain why discipleship is more than listening to the Bible—it means obeying Jesus out of love and helping others grow as we go. David serves as Founder of The Timothy Initiative, a global movement that makes and multiplies disciples, churches, and leaders. We also had Leonard Tanks Jr. join us to share his story of radical transformation and explain how discipleship happens through real-life relationships, surrender, and walking alongside others as they grow in Christ. Leonard is an apologist and emerging theologian based in Cleveland, Ohio, where he serves as the pastor and church planter of Reach City Church. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
