Biography

Dr. Wayne Cordeiro is a pastor, bestselling author, leadership expert, and international speaker best known as the founding pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii. Beginning with a small congregation in Hilo in 1984, he later launched New Hope Oahu, which grew into one of America's most influential and innovative churches. Under his leadership, the New Hope movement has planted more than 150 churches throughout the United States and across the Pacific Rim, while helping over 110,000 people make first-time decisions for Christ.

An internationally respected voice on leadership, ministry development, and personal renewal, Cordeiro has authored more than a dozen books, including the bestselling Leading on Empty, The Divine Mentor, Doing Church as a Team, The Irresistible Church, Jesus: Pure and Simple, and Sifted. His teaching on leadership health and burnout has impacted pastors, executives, educators, and nonprofit leaders worldwide. He is also the creator of the widely adopted Life Journal and SOAP devotional method, and serves as the general editor of the LifeConnect Study Bible.

Following a heart attack and personal battle with burnout, Cordeiro became one of the leading voices on sustainable leadership. His transparent story and practical wisdom have resonated with audiences around the world, encouraging leaders to pursue excellence without sacrificing their health, families, or spiritual lives. His keynote on burnout and renewal became one of the highest-rated presentations at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit and later inspired his bestselling book Leading on Empty.

Today, Wayne serves as President Emeritus of New Hope Christian College in Eugene, Oregon, continues to speak internationally, hosts the "Words of New Hope" podcast, and mentors the next generation of leaders. His presentations combine biblical insight, practical leadership principles, humor, and decades of real-world experience to inspire lasting personal and organizational transformation.
