I LOVE that Kirk Franklin gets his flowers NOW because he deserves it

[noshoeonmyfeet]

I like how Kirk Franklin flipped the script and started interviewing Shannon 💯

[NayokaOwareTheJourney]

You do not need to be a Christian to listen to his message. He talks about life. So transparent, so real. Just beautiful moments. Well done Shannon. You’re a great host, and Kirk Franklin was a great guest 💕

[zacharymckay]

Kirk was comfortable with this interview. He was genuinely at home with Shannon. One of the best interviews ever. I’m a fan of both of these guys. Played football in HS and now a Minister of music @ my church. Both guys have influenced me greatly! 🙏🏾✊🏾💙

[jaythomas]

This has to be the most openly honest episode I’ve watched. The way he’s willing to admit that he still has his own struggles is the kind of truth I wish more people would tell

[rajigourdine]

I grew up spiritually when Kirk was coming on the scene.

His new take on gospel music was liberating and freeing for me as a young Christian in College.

I thank God for Kirk’s ministry!

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 one unc👏

[deesanders]

Shannon, I have watched every episode of Club Shay Shay...but this, sir WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST....OMG...THIS WAS AMAZING.

[LethaboLovesOra]

"Why We Sing"... 7 year old me would always be in tears listening to that song just overwhelmed by God's presence. This man is anointed.

[miamislimvideos]

This didn't even feel like a 2hr interview. So raw, funny and relatable. ❤ I hope Kirk works through everything. 🙏🏾

[MercyMe]

Shannon Sharpe, I was so proud and touched when you asked Kirk Franklin to close out with a prayer. That was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. Much love, respect and continued success for you. Thank you.💖

[ruthchin]

Like what Kirk said " God loan him the lyrics" and he so grateful. wow, love this.

[GardenDahl]

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!

[clementinewilliams]

This was one of the best interviews I have seen in a long time. Kirk Franklin truly understands what it means to walk in the faith. He promotes spiritual growth, NOT spiritual perfection. Very powerful!!!

[akasiarmah]

can we all just give it up for Mr. Sharpe for the genius that he is and the wonderful approach he took with this conversation by starting from the present to the beginning...it not only showcased his hard work and preparation, a fresh take for us viewers on the guest's story, but it made Mr. Franklin so comfortable and at ease to open up graciously with his story. I am a fan of both and job well done!

[rodneywilson]

Shannon Sharpe you struck GOLD with this one!!🔥🔥
Kirk Franklin was the interview we Needed!! God Bless you both!🙏🏾

[tracemusiq]

Im a Kirk Franklin fan. This was absolutely one of the best interviews I’ve witnessed. The transparency is what I loved the most about this interview.

[ashleyforte]

"Imagine me" is still one of the absolute HARDEST gospel songs ever written.

I'm not even religious.

[melindaislovely]

This wasn’t an interview for Kirk, this was an interview for Shannon. He needed this. The Lord intercepted and said “I want my son.. Kirk, I wrote this story and you are the one to intercede”… oooh, Glory!

[HealwNonaBlacktv]

I wasn’t expecting the end in tears, Father GOD HEAL Shannon Sharpe & Kirk Franklin give them peace & joy beyond what they can ask or think in Jesus Name ❤❤❤ missing out on Tamela Mann singing is a missed jewel
