Top 10 Benefits for Joining the Renegade Pastors Network Today! (this is not an exhaustive list but here's your Top 10):
1. The Renegade Pastors Monthly LIVE Leadership Briefing Call with LIVE Q&A. At the heart of the network is a monthly update and briefing from Nelson via LIVE Conference Call. This monthly "pastor to pastor" call (which will be recorded on MP3 for your library) will be personal, practical, packed with content and slightly irreverent (but in a good way) training where Nelson will challenge you, enlighten you, equip you and guide you to maximize your next season of ministry. He will often bring in guest speakers as well.
With the Renegade Pastors Monthly Briefing Call, you'll always be one step ahead in your planning and fully inspired and equipped to stay the course of the Renegade lifestyle.
Don’t worry if you can’t make the live call – you’ll receive an MP3 recording in your Online Private Membership Hub to access anytime.
2. Equipping Interview Call. The week following our Leadership Call, Nelson will do a second call where he interviews other leading authors and church growth experts. On these calls, he goes in-depth on the topic of their latest book, their background, and insights and tips for pastors and churches. Past interviews include Thom Rainer, Gary McIntosh, Chuck Lawless, Warren Bird, Steve Stroope, Patrick Lencioni, Bill Easum, and Larry Osborne, among many others.
