meet ronnie mcbrayer
Ronnie McBrayer was born and raised in the foothills of the North Georgia Appalachians and claims he barely survived the fire-and-brimstone instruction of his hard shell Baptist-reared childhood. But in the great comedy of God, Ronnie has spent his adulthood in Christian ministry, preaching in and protesting against; loving and leaving; running away from and returning to the church. The faith he is trying to keep isn’t in organized religion, however. It is in Jesus.
Ronnie has been a pastor, chaplain, leader in social justice ministries, and a writer. He holds degrees in Christian Education and Theology, with post-graduate studies in Bio-Ethics and Critical Incident Stress Management. His post-Katrina relief work with Habitat for Humanity was featured by the CBS Evening News and the New York Times. McBrayer’s weekly newspaper column, “Keeping the Faith,” began as a devotional article for his local newspaper. It is now nationally syndicated in more than seventy outlets with a circulation of more than four million readers.
He is the author of multiple books and publications including Leaving Religion, Following Jesus, and The Jesus Tribe, both published by Smyth and Helwys. For more information or if you are interested in making arrangements for Ronnie to speak to your group, please contact him here.
