Hello. My name is René Velarde.
Although conventional wisdom encourages us to 'brand' ourselves in a niche way, I don't like that. We're all multi-layered in some way, which influences how each part of us shows up. So, here's what I normally tell people about me. I've done many things in this seemingly short life:
As a professor, I teach theology to undergraduates at Azusa Pacific University.
As a scholar, I research how psychological trauma, race-conflict, and Christianity all intersect (I study at Fuller Seminary).
As a recording artist, I've written songs and uploaded them to the internet (look up Rene Velarde on Spotify or Youtube)--I plan to release more songs in 2024.
As worship pastor, I've worked in countless churches leading worship -- I primarily sing and play guitar.
As an educator, I've taught in classrooms, church gatherings, and one-on-one zoom calls.
As a consultant, I work as a strategic thinker and advisor to people who make high stakes decisions in the business and non-profit world.
As a dancer, I like to dance Bachata and Salsa.
As a bodybuilder, I come alongside many people as a coach.
I'm not sure why you're here, but in case I can be of service to you, reach out at [email protected] or DM me on instagram.
