      He’s really easy to talk to like that. I remember meeting him when I was 14 he was talking to the youth giving his testimony and I don’t think I ever seen that many young people come to Christ. Kirk is definitely a man of God

    Kirk Franklin has been the most open book gospel artist in history. He speaks my language. Young people, old people, and kids enjoy his art. He's just real. He doesn't shy away from the people. You can judge him, attack him, and he's still him. He keeps the pulse on the people. His catalog of music is legendary!! Kirk stays on my playlist! Smile, reason why i slng, revolution, etc.... his Christmas album is still my favorite on repeat in my home during the session.. I'm waiting for his lifetime achievement. Csn you imagine the voices that will come out to salute him.....another one unc👏

I had the pleasure of meeting Kirk while working my part-time job and he was super down to earth and kind. I didn't get a chance to talk to him because I was working but I was able to get a quick pic with him!!! Kirk is a real one and I have been listening to his music since I was in college. His music really got me through some tough times and I appreciate his ministry and ability to touch the hearts of people. I know he will probably never read this comment but I had a chance to meet him years ago when he visited my church in Nashville, TN. Kirk can PREACHHHH!!!!! If you never had the chance to hear or see Kirk minister to people, you are missing out! Kirk is anointed and truly living in his purpose. Kirk, thank you for reminding me how much GOD loves us! You are a class act and I really appreciate you!!!!!! Thank you for doing this interview Mr. Sharpe!!! This made my night!❣

    I’m 55 and found out my biological was not my biological with 23 and Me.
    We did an actual Paternity test and my world has shifted!
    Kirk, I laughed and I cried and rewinded many times throughout this episode.
    THANK YOU!
    You are helping me to stand. The pain of doubt by everyone my entire life came full circle.
    I am married 34 years with a 26 and 21 yo. (My biological doesn’t have grandkids and always wanted them)
    True Family! (Let that sit)
    I just hosted my genuine biological for Thanksgiving and I have no words. He watched videos of my children and engaged with us beautifully.
    This is a process that is not for the weak. I am taking it one step at a time. Thank you for sharing your story! Best and Continued Blessings!

I so agree with what he said about how as christians, it's our job to let others know that God has them and loves them. It truly isn't our job to "police" anyone's process. I am grateful for Kirk's honesty and transparency to let the world know that we all struggle with things. Thank you, Shannon, for allowing people to open up and share their truth on your platform.

When he said he’d be a 4th grade teacher because he loves kids and pouring into them…that made absolute sense to me merely based on the time my 7 year old met Kirk at church. He ran up to him and yelled “that’s Kirk Franklin!” 😂Kirk was SO kind and genuine in his interaction with him. Fully present. It was beautiful to watch. God bless your ongoing journey Kirk!

    Life long friends. Kirk spoke freely and honestly about his pain. Which allowed Unc to not chastise or provoke, but lovingly and empathetically encourage. To make a sacred space where he still called him up higher but held space for his pain. I could go on all day about what those kind of convos do not only in us, but to those around us. Thank you for your humanity kings! Thank you for your vulnerable masculinity. I’m better for having witnessed it.

    Shannon's heart about Kirk speaking with his mother is genuine but being in a similar situation as Kirk, sometimes you just have to let relationships go with parents who can't meet you halfway. It hurts but you also have to protect your emotions and not continue to put yourself in that position with that parent to be hurt. Sometimes love from a distance is best until that person can really see the issue. Kirk has a lot of grace for his mother, but he still has to protect his sanity and heart ❤
