Leading With an Encouraging Heart: Day 7

1 THESSALONIANS 5:9-11

 

The encouraging leader looks for opportunities to lift others up. Never lets a victory, or a supreme effort, go unpraised. Celebrating the successes and commitments of those we work with has a dramatic effect on them and on us. They find further effort and commitment easier and more worthwhile. We are fueled by their successes. And our community develops a mentality that looks for Kingdom moments and celebrates them.

 

Mark down November 6th when we celebrate 60 years of Kingdom moments at VPC.

Who around you needs praising?

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.
