His willingness to teach the church how to understand the true calling for their lives is outstanding; never shy about confronting issues that divide Christians. His spiritual teaching has reached millions around the world through the art of music, drama and gospel messages. Rodney started preaching the Gospel in 2010 at the age of 37. His vision has always been to establish a local work in an area where needed the most. Being under the mentorship of Dewayne Tapscott of the Southwest Church of Christ and the Piney Grove Church of Christ in Alabama for 11 years, has primed Rodney for this great mission.

Weekly Jr. is also the CEO of Running out Demons Ministries Inc. and his wife Melanie is CFO, a nonprofit organization started in 2004 that produces two major national events annually: ROD Preacher Explosion and ROD Gospel Concert. These events motivate, inspire, uplift, encourage, and bring those who are less fortunate to Christ through the art of music, preaching and dance; these events speak to the strengths of mankind rather than their weaknesses, empowering many people to go from hopelessness to hope and trust in the Lord. His fourth musical CD is in process entitled: "The Preacher" and will release in November of 2018. In addition, Rodney J. Weekly Jr. and the Church Hill Church of Christ are leading a movement to strengthen marriages entitled: 'Giving the Vows a Voice'.
