A Little History

Born in 1969 in the US to Puerto Rican parents, Rodriguez is a man with a mission. He is known as a civil rights activist by many, a pastor by all, and a man of faith by his congregation. Rodriguez gave his very first sermon at the young age of 16, and since then, he's made a name for himself as one of the most popular and influential evangelical Christian speakers in the nation.

He is the acting president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which is an organization dedicated to bringing together Hispanic evangelicals. As of 2020, the organization boasts around 40,000 churches, and growing. The organization stands for and fights for the religious and social freedoms and justice for Latino-Americans.

Rodriguez has been nominated for several awards, and is well-respected as an honest pastor within the evangelical community.

Author/Filmmaker

You didn't think Rodriguez would stop there, did you? While Samuel Rodriguez Jr sermons are certainly moving, he's also put his unique style and attitude to print with several books.

You Are Next was Rodriguez's best-selling book, and since then, he's written several more and continues to receive accolades for his practical advice and expert guidance on God's plan for all of us. It's difficult to decipher God's plan and how spirituality fits into modern life, but Rodriguez explains it all in a way that anyone can understand. This is part of what makes his work so great-it's truly for everyone.

Rodriguez's other books include From Survive To Thrive, Be Light, The Lamb's Agenda, Shake Free, and When Faith Catches Fire. The latter is co-written with Dr. Robert Crosby, which explores Latino faith in the complex socio-political environment of the United States.
