‘Dr Rod’, aka The Business Pastor, has 40+ years’ experience in academe, teaching economics, management, governance and leadership; 30+ years’ experience in corporate governance; and 20+ years’ experience in church leadership. In literally thousands of encounters with people in business, he has observed that many don’t experience much pastoral care. There are plenty of good business coaches and mentors, but there are not many pastors who understand the professional and personal context of business. Rod simply pastors people in business. He does not ask for money, nor does he seek to build his own church. However, he always urges business people to be engaged in a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching, biblically-living local church, one that provides spiritual covering.

Rod is actively involved in two global business movements. Both Business As Mission and Kingdom Initiatives aim to transform individuals, communities and nations by integrating the local church and marketplace.
