I’m Shane Reynolds, an Australian-born pastor, author, and advocate dedicated to faith, justice, and innovation. My books — including Revitalizing Christianity, which received a Kirkus review and features a foreword by the Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG — support both ministry and broader public conversations. I’m also the founder of The Good News platform and the author of the novella The Seraphim’s Ledger: A Reckoning of Angels and Men (Saint Publishing Australia, 2025).
Born and raised on the Gold Coast, I have pursued a diverse journey combining ministry, writing, law, and technological innovation. I am a member of the LGBTI Legal Service and a student member of the NSW Law Society, reflecting my commitment to advocacy, inclusion, and ongoing professional development within the legal community. Guided by keen attention to detail and a strong intuition, I approach every matter—big or small—with purpose and care.
Beyond writing, I offer professional services including pastoral support, investigative journalism, IT consulting, and business advisory — with a commitment to probono advisory every Friday afternoon.

“I am pleased that Shane Reynolds asked me to write this foreword. Shane has undergone an epiphany, moving from second tier lending to helping consumers navigate financial waters. His book is a lucid guide to help prospective borrowers, warning that too much debt can be quicksand swallowing your financial legacy.”

“It takes courage to break the silence on predatory lending in Australia's mortgage industry. Shane’s book lifts the veil off the finance industry, helping consumers make educated decisions and leveling the playing field between financier and borrower.”

“Shane’s story highlights the lack of acceptance many gay individuals face in the church. His ministry, the Universal Church of Love, offers a non-judgmental, loving environment for all. This book guides us to embrace love and inclusion as taught by Jesus.”
