Leading With a Disciplined Heart: Day 6

JOHN 18:19-24

You are ultimately responsible for your own devotional life. Jesus, when teaching on prayer, says go into your room by yourself, and then pray. But just because each of us is individually responsible for our spiritual lives, it does not follow that we must carry that responsibility alone. Others can help and encourage us in our own journeys. Prayer partners, small group experiences, mentors, classes, and books—there are many ways to stimulate your own growth and devotion.

 

How are you stimulating your growth and devotion?

What might aid you this year?

Are you in  a position to help someone else grow?

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.
