The pastor who conducted the wedding ceremony of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian dropped into the Premier studios just after speaking at the Alpha leadership conference at the Royal Albert Hall. In this in depth interview Rich Wilkerson Jr, who pastors VOUS church in Miami, Florida shares his testimony and introduces his new book Friend of Sinners: Why Jesus cares more about relationship than perfection. He also opens up about his friendship with Kanye West and comments on the need for Christians to follow Jesus and be full of grace and truth. In responding to accusations that he's sugarcoating the gospel, Rich is clear: "Yeah I am! If the medicine gets in, the medicine gets in. I'm going to do whatever I can! That's called being a good fisherman. Last time I checked Jesus said 'I'll make you fishers of men'. What is fishing? You're putting bait on a hook!"
