The “Wake Up With Dee Morning Show” received a powerful message of purpose and community impact when the Rev. Dr. Thomas Beavers, senior pastor of New Rising Star Church joined the weekly “Wednesday’s Word” segment to share spiritual encouragement and insight.

A former Kentucky State University basketball letterman and Mr. KSU, he later earned both his Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Beeson Divinity School at Samford University.
