Paul Rhoads,
Executive Vice President, Church Resource Ministries
Ron is truly a gifted communicator! He brings to his speaking a unique mix of passion and life experience. He has a passion to relate the Good News (all of it not just our American privatized version) to the hurting, atrophying edges of our own culture. He knows what it is to live in a Christian ghetto but also have the courage to break out of it. He knows what it is like to start and lead a church as well as survive in corporate America. Few leaders can bring all of this to the task of communicating the Good News in fresh ways.

Ron is a gifted Bible teacher. He has a remarkable gift for peeling back the layers of scripture so people can understand the depths of biblical truth. His style of teaching is one that engages the listeners and draws them to a point that enables them to make the application to their own lives.

Ron Hockley is a rare communicator. He brings a strong representation of Scripture and its nuances, together with a vibrant, "brass tacks" view of life. I find his blend of inspiration, vulnerability and challenge exactly what my heart has needed to prod me forward in Christ-following.
Last Spring our men's ministry group was especially challenged to move toward a life of "godly influence" as Ron spoke to us from Old Testament scripture. I would not hesitate to invite Ron to speak to any size group. He is a man with a unique assignment and capacity as a Bible teacher. I love and enjoy his ministry, and find him compelling as preacher and a friend.

Ron Hockley has distinguished himself as a pastor and speaker of the highest caliber. Besides his employment in a full time secular job Ron has built an impressive new congregation in the city of Portland OR. A significant part of the success of the new church is attributable to Ron's speaking ability. At a national conference for our denomination Ron spoke to our delegates and more than held his own against other nationally known speakers. I highly recommend Ron Hockley for your church or conference.
