Leading With a Growing Heart: Day 2

MATTHEW 5:6, 6:11

God wants to give us a fresh bread that we can share. Christian followers were not meant to live simply by remembering yesterday’s inspiration. Christian leaders cannot share what they have not experienced. So you and I must be hungry for new wisdom, new grace, new direction. Repeating what we have done and said previously is simple and easy but not God’s will for us. Jesus’ followers were disciples, and this means learners—perpetual learners.

How fresh is your bread?
With whom are you sharing it?

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014.

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.
