Rodney A Lindemann

Rodney A. Lindemann has built a life centered on faith, family, and service. He has been married to his beloved wife, Miriam, for over 25 years. Together, they have a blended family of four stepchildren, who are all now grown and married, and they are blessed with 14 grandchildren.

A lifelong member of Timothy Lutheran Church, Rod’s commitment to his faith led him to be ordained into the office of Public Ministry in 2011. After faithfully serving as an associate pastor, he has since retired into a part-time pastoral role, continuing his passion for ministry. Alongside his spiritual calling, Rod is an entrepreneur and the owner of Rods Sports and Apparel.

Rod’s inspiration to write How to Say No and Gain Respect came directly from his own trials and tribulations of saying “yes” too often. Through his experiences, he discovered the importance of setting boundaries to achieve the right balance of priorities: God, family, others, and self. In his free time, Rod enjoys riding motorcycles and cherishing moments with his ever-growing family.
