Leading With a Courageous Heart: Day 5

JOHN 1:14
JOHN 8:10-11

Jesus helps and rescues this woman without abandoning the truth of the law or the reality of her guilt. Refusing to condemn her, He offers her forgiveness but insists that she “go and sin no more.” Forgiveness is never an excuse to continue destructive patterns of behavior. It is not laxness or moral indifference. It takes courage to speak and live in ways that honor both grace and truth.


Are you courageous about grace?
Are you courageous about truth?

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
