Made New: Disciple Makers Devotional 1:31 (Paperback or Softback)

Dave is currently serving as the Care and Counseling Pastor at Grace Community Church in Fulton, Maryland. His greatest passion in life is his relationship with God through Christ Jesus. Followed closely by his love for his wife, Talisa, and son, David. These two fires spurred Dr. Joseph to write both Pictures of Proverbs published in 2016 and 2020 and the Made New twelve book devotionals series for new believers and disciple-makers.Pictures of Proverbs were written to give every parent the ability to disciple their child in the way of God, the way of wisdom. Made New was written to journey with new believers through the Bible, Christ, and others. Each book includes 30 moments to encourage followers of Jesus to know who they are in Him. Made New for disciple-makers journeys with courageous believers as they share life with new believers.Dave's zeal for Christ began at a young age because of his mother's fervor for Jesus. Since deciding to yield his life to Jesus, Dave has learned that applying God's Words in his life is a large part of obedience, the task God has placed before him. His obedience out of love has resulted in an interesting life of completing the mission Christ left for His followers. Learning to help others is Dave's third devotion in life. His love for learning and his desire to lead others to this passion is part of why he does the work he does in his writing, Shepherding, and role as Dean.Dr. Joseph's love for God is genuine, and it pushes him to do Big things for his Big God.Before Grace Community Church, Dave planted Living Stones Church; Dave worked as the Minister of Family Life at The People's Community Baptist Church in Silver Spring, MD.
