Autorenporträt
Dr. LeJoia VanHook graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Spanish in 2010 from Fisk University. From there, she attended and graduated from Roosevelt University, where she received her Master of Arts degree in Training and Development in 2012. Upon graduating with her master's, Dr. VanHook immediately went on to pursue a doctorate in Organizational Leadership at Argosy University. She dedicated her dissertation to studying pastoral leadership and their experience with stress and burnout. When she chose her dissertation topic, she believed it was God calling her to be an ambassador for topics rarely addressed in the church. LeJoia is an educator with an adaptable and accurate prophetic mantle over her life. She is not a pastor, yet she was led by the spirit to pen this dynamic guide to pastors. LeJoia shares a fiery message of deliverance, power, and purpose. Her passion for God and a surrendered lifestyle have led to an anointing to adhere to God's voice and direct His chosen. Her insightful message includes sobering truths that challenge men and women of God to pray and cultivate their God-given potential in their personal and spiritual lifestyles-and to prevent pastoral burnout. LeJoia has a deep passion for needy and hurting people, out of which grew the mission for outreach that birthed this book. She is now the author of this guide, which is designed to enhance pastors by delivering quality resources, spiritual and psychological, which will improve the daily lives of pastors and their families. With humility and generosity of spirit, LeJoia captivates the minds and hearts of God's people and helps them lead productive lives. LeJoia possesses the ability to reach people of all ages and various walks of life. Through her ministry, she strives to positively influence the lives of God's people through the application of the Word. Her hope is to inspire believers to walk upright and holy lives into higher dimensions. No more burnout!
