In this episode we talk with Desimber Rose. The author of the book - The Church Can Go To Hell Desimber Rose is an author, poet, spoken word artist, and former Pastor of The Restoration Center in Greenville, South Carolina and The Rock Worship Center in West Union, South Carolina. At every opportunity she is committed to reaching souls through love and truth, restoring lives through servant leadership, and equipping the Body of Christ for righteous living through the teaching of sound doctrine. Her approach to the Gospel is practical, realistic, and void of legalism and religious restriction. Her sole objective is to present the Savior to the world as she understands Him... to spread the Good News of God's Grace to the world through radical truth. There is a kind of testimony and witness that can only come from brokenness. There is a level of compassion that can only be expressed by those who need it most. Desimber Rose speaks for those who don't have the words... for those whose voices have been muted by failure, rejection, abuse, and trauma... for those familiar with the darkness and fluent in pain.
