EP. 79: Living Across Lines with Pastor Wayne Hall

Living Reconciled

We would love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

What does real reconciliation look like across racial and economic lines? Pastor Wayne Hall shares his compelling journey from growing up as “the only white kid” in one of Meridian’s poorest neighborhoods to leading a diverse church at Jackson First. Wayne reflects on the early influence of an inclusive church, the painful shift of racially divided friendships in high school, and the calling that shaped his ministry. With bold honesty, he challenges listeners to examine whether their faith truly reflects Christ’s call to reconciliation. Rooted in empathy, Scripture, and lived experience, this episode offers a powerful vision of the Church as a place where everyone belongs.

📣 Join us for our annual Living Reconciled Celebration on September 25th at Mississippi College's Anderson Hall as we continue the conversation on what it means to see one another as Christ sees us.
