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 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!

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. God bless.

    Man did yall feel that? The shift when they started speaking about Kirk’s biological family. I think they might of even forgot they were being recorded. This was beautiful! When men drop and check their egos and allow vulnerability to permeate. Bet they become
    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 ❤
