The Encouragement Posse
Steve Harrison
David Huey
There are a few people in the world who are wicked awesome (sorry for the N.E. slang) and who you want to hang around or listen to pretty much everything they do and say. Andy Stanley, though I haven’t actually met him, (does listening to him preach from about 10 feet away count?) is one such individual for me.
And then there are those individuals who make you feel like they are thinking that way about you. I don’t think they really think that way about me, but they make me feel that way. They are a special group of people, two of which I am happy to have in my life. These encouragers are more than just cheerleaders, they are guys who pour into my life and encourage me to do more than I thought I could do. If you don’t know Dave and Steve, you should.
They are certainly different in their methods of encouragement. If you first meet Dave, my hunch is that at first you wouldn’t think of him as “an encourager” (though it’s been almost 15 years since I met him), but now he’s one of my biggest encourager friends. Steve is Mr. Encourager, and that’s all I have to say about that. I’ve never seen anyone more encouraging in my life. This may be because I’m a yankee, but I digress.
Dave and Steve have, through their lifetsyles, encouraged me to be a better encourager. And maybe even…

Closet Nickelback fans are generally good encouragers also (I hear).
