What is a Renegade Pastor?

What exactly is a renegade pastor?

A renegade is someone who has abandoned average in favor of excellence.  He is a rebel with a purpose– someone who rises up RP-Book-3Dagainst resistance, mediocrity, and conformity.  A renegade is not a lawbreaker.  He’s is not contrarian for contrarianism’s sake.  He is not looking for a fight with other church leaders, but with the devil himself.  He’s not critical or cynical, but analytical in his thinking about what works in life and ministry and what doesn’t.  

A renegade pastor is obedient to the Word of God and passionately abandoned for the Kingdom.  He has made a decision to step out of the status quo and get back to the business of reflecting God’s glory in every aspect of his life.

On an individual level, the renegade pastor is someone who lives in a state of faithful pro-activity.  The renegade pastor is a hard worker, but he knows how to work efficiently and manage his time for maximum benefit.  He has quality relationships with his spouse, his children, and his close friends.  They don’t feel cheated by the church.

A renegade understands the importance of personal growth, so he is always learning.  He knows how to identify godly goals and pursue them.

And, unlike the average pastor, the renegade has peace about his life and work.  He experiences the fulfillment that comes with the role God has called him to. 

So how do you bridge the gap between being average and going renegade?  The answer is in the commitments you choose to make.

It’s no accident that this book – “The Renegade Pastor: Abandoning Average in Your Life and Ministry” – shares the same name as one of my central coaching networks. The ideas in this book were first introduced and molded through the real-life work of transforming average ministries into renegade missions that truly glorify God and His Kingdom.

What I’ve learned through years of working with other pastors in my networks, is a simple but profound truth – as I share in The Renegade Pastor book: “If you want to grow a healthy church and have a happy personal life, look at what the average pastor is doing and do the opposite.”

This book will inspire and motivate you to abandon average and reclaim a life of impact and excellence. The topics covered in its seven packed chapters are designed to help you move from mediocrity to meaning in every area of your life. The book also comes with a two-month FREE test drive of my Renegade Pastors Network so your learning can continue beyond the book!
