Mike and Leslie Kim: A Holistic Perspective on Disciple-Making

The More Disciples Podcast

In this episode of the 'More Disciples' podcast, hosts Dori Yuen, John Heerema, Doug Lucas, and Lee Wood are joined by Mike and Leslie Kim. As field workers and community leaders who relocated from San Francisco to the small Desert Mountains town of Globe, Arizona, the Kims discuss their journey towards creating authentic and transformational followers of Christ in their community. They delve into the concepts of genuine vulnerability, authenticity, and fully surrendering to God's calling. The Kims are involved in various community outreach projects, such as educational programs, downtown rejuvenation, and sustainable farming initiatives. They emphasize the importance of a personal transformative experience with God, relational dynamic fostering in communities, and ongoing faithfulness to catalyze spiritual multiplication and enrich discipleship processes.
