About Us: Behind the Mic at Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude©️
Welcome to Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude©️—a podcast where the rugged road of masculinity intersects with the profound journey of faith. We’re not just a show; we’re a brotherhood, a community of men who believe in living with courage, conviction, and a deep-rooted connection to Christ. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at who we are, what drives us, and why we’re committed to walking this path with you.
Our Story
Renegadez was born out of life experiences that tested our host, Rev. Joseph C. Gomez, in every possible way. From the battlefields of Iraq as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran to the inner battles that come with personal challenges, Joseph’s journey is one of resilience, redemption, and relentless faith. After facing his own demons and finding strength in his relationship with God, Joseph felt a calling to reach out to other men navigating the complex terrains of life.
The podcast is more than just stories and conversations; it’s a reflection of the journey many men face—balancing the expectations of society with the truths found in scripture. Through Renegadez, we explore how to live authentically as men of faith and fortitude, no matter where life’s road takes us.
Our Personality
We like to think of Renegadez as more than just a podcast; it’s a conversation between friends. When you tune in, it’s like pulling up a chair at the local coffee shop or kicking back around a campfire. We keep it real, honest, and grounded in the realities of what it means to be a man today. Whether we’re diving into scripture, sharing life lessons from the open road, or talking through the challenges that come with being a man of faith, our tone is always warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth.
Joseph brings his unique blend of military grit, pastoral care, and biker wisdom to every episode, creating a space where men can feel understood, challenged, and inspired. We don’t shy away from the tough topics, but we also make sure there’s always room for hope, encouragement, and a bit of humor along the way.
Our Mission
At Renegadez, our mission is clear: to build a community where men can explore what it means to live with both strength and spirituality. We’re here to challenge the status quo, redefine masculinity through the lens of faith, and encourage men to be the best versions of themselves—not by the world’s standards, but by God’s.
Why do we do this? Because we believe that every man has a purpose and that living out that purpose requires faith, courage, and a willingness to grow. We make this podcast to create a space where men can come together, learn from each other, and find the strength to face life’s challenges head-on.
But we can’t do it alone. We need you—our listeners, our brothers—to join us on this journey. Whether you’re here to find community, gain insight, or just listen to some real talk about life, faith, and masculinity, we’re glad you’re with us.
Join the Brotherhood
We invite you to become a part of the Renegadez community. Listen in, share your story, and connect with other men who are on this journey with you. Together, we can live out the values of faith, fortitude, and true brotherhood. So grab a cup of coffee, hop on your bike, or settle in for a listen—whatever your style, you’ve got a place here.
Remember, this isn’t just a podcast; it’s a movement. A movement towards authentic living, deeper faith, and a stronger brotherhood. Welcome to Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude©️. Let’s ride this road together.
The Genesis and Journey of Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude©️
Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude©️ is more than just a podcast; it’s the result of Rev. Joseph C. Gomez’s lifelong journey in pursuit of truth, resilience, and a deep connection with the divine. Born in the small town of Silver City, New Mexico, and forged in the crucible of military service, the vision for Renegadez emerged where the rugged spirit of masculinity meets the profound call of spirituality.
Renegadez wasn’t created in a single moment; it was a journey. A journey that took Rev. Gomez from the chaotic battlefields to the quiet, soul-searching moments that shaped his heart. The foundation of Renegadez is found in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Renegadez is an ongoing story. Through the podcast, it serves as a place where conversations go beyond the surface, diving into the essence of modern manhood and its connection with spirituality. These discussions, enriched with scriptural insights like Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path,” aim to build a brotherhood of men dedicated to exploring the depths of their being and the vastness of divine truth.
Looking ahead, Rev. Gomez sees Renegadez growing into a sanctuary of mentorship, brotherhood, and resources that empower men to navigate life with faith as their guide and fortitude as their strength. Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint,” is the beacon for the journey ahead, calling every heart toward renewed strength and discovered purpose.
At its core, Renegadez is about more than just today’s challenges; it’s about leading souls to the Kingdom of God and guiding men toward a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Like Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, the mission of Renegadez is to see lives changed, hearts aligned with God’s love, and men stepping into their true purpose.

Our mission echoes the call of 2 Chronicles 7:14, inviting men to a life of faith, humility, and a tireless pursuit of God’s truth and purpose.
