Kelly Rose: Brave Growth

Written By Ellen Bennett
 

Kelly Rose is the Executive Pastor at Central Bearden Baptist Church in Knoxville. She has had her share of tough situations in life, including growing up in a home with an abusive, alcoholic father and grappling with divorce after 30 years of marriage. But because Kelly has bravely chosen to grow from these experiences, she can help her congregation through loss and conflict.  Kelly shares with us the impact that patterns of behavior learned from our past can have on our relationships. In her enjoyable, soothing Tennessee accent, she offers authentic and impactful insights we all need.
