What does it mean to find true purpose in your work? In this episode of the 4:16 Ministries Interview Series, Wayne Rodgers sits down with Kaleb Hall, preacher for the Fayette Church of Christ in Fayette, Alabama, to discuss his journey from working as an electrician to serving in full-time ministry. Kaleb shares how God used faithful influences, opportunities to teach, and the Memphis School of Preaching to prepare him for a work that has now become home for more than a decade.

The conversation also highlights the work of the Fayette Church of Christ, a congregation with a rich history of evangelism, outreach, and love for one another. Kaleb discusses the importance of mentoring young preachers, investing in young families, and helping the next generation remain engaged in the Lord's church.

Topics include:

• Finding purpose beyond a career

• Memphis School of Preaching

• Apprenticeship in ministry

• The work of the Fayette Church of Christ

• Evangelism and community outreach

• Investing in young families

• Encouragement for gospel preachers

One statement from the interview captures Caleb's heart for ministry: "A bad day as a gospel preacher is still the best job in the world."

In this episode of the 4:16 Ministries Interview Series, Wayne sits down with Anthony Dismuke, preacher for the Eastern Meadows Church of Christ in Montgomery, Alabama.

Anthony shares his journey into preaching, the influence of growing up in a preaching family, his unique experience attending the Memphis School of Preaching during the COVID pandemic, and the blessings of serving congregations in New Orleans and now Montgomery.

What does it take to grow a small rural church in one of the most remote corners of the country? In this episode of the 4:16 Interview Series, Wade Purdom shares his journey of serving the church of Christ in Boundary County, Idaho. From just 25 members when he and his wife arrived to now averaging around 80, Wade reflects on God’s providence, the unique challenges of “frontier” ministry, and the blessings of raising a family in a community that feels both isolated and yet deeply connected. His story is one of perseverance, prayer, and hope for the church’s future in the Inland Northwest.

Wade is a 2007 graduate of the Memphis School of Preaching, has a background working in Apologetics, and spent several years in China teaching English and studying the Bible with those who had an interest.
