“Because he chose to reveal my mistakes publicly as a father, I chose not to reveal his life publicly as a son.” That’s the love of a real father, if only we could see this more often.
7:32, he said he will Break his child's neck. He needs to think before he speaks. He's creating sensationalism for publicity its disgusting.
He said he wouldn't talk about his son, but he just did.
@@freshstart4423 🤔you reach game is strong
@@freshstart4423 spoken like a person with no kids. I have 4 and I threaten them on the daily. They are 26 - 30 and they can take you there. I've said things to my kids in anger that I later regretted but when you're in the moment, you're not thinking clearly. His son was out of pocket. PERIOD! Kirk did a lot better then I would have.
Kirk franklin
@@staylor824 He's on TV, doing an interview, and its not in the heat of the moment. Beware of people who create sensationalism for publicity. They aren't real Christians.
Much respect for Kirk for not commenting on his son concerning their issue.
Love that statement, “We’re not life proof; we’re all susceptible to heart ache.” Thank you Kirk Franklin. 🤩😇
I Love Kirk Franklin, He’s doing Christianity the real way! We are not life proofed. And yes our position is always to talk to the Father about the Woes and the Wounds we see and experience. And it’s not easy to let go and let God and remember that God calls us to live in peace with all men.
Christian's are not exempt from trials and tribulations. Sometimes we go through more than the world.we must ask ourselves what would Jesus do when we find ourselves in difficulties life
No he’s not! What Bible you read? Oh none😂😂😂😂😂😂
Being a parent is not being called to be liked, but we are called to love! I love this!!!! Thank you Kirk!
Love Kirk... he's always bring healing through his music.
A man is just a man I don't care what platform he is on. We all make mistakes but what is done in the dark will come to the light. I am not taking any sides because I don't know the situation but I do wish them both healing and blessings.
everything we do in the dark does not come to the light. God is gracious and covers a lot of our mess actually. "exposing" is more of a human construct than a divine one. short of sexual abuse, there's almost nothing my parents could have done that would make me want to expose/embarass them on a public platform. ppl asked my dad to run for mayor and he was an awful / absent father and i still wouldnt do that. this is a weird generation. i'm sure kirk's son has valid hurts. kids out of wedlock often face rejection when their parent marries and has kids with someone else, especially when the kid doesn't live with the other siblings. and we all know kirk was probably immature as a young father. at the same time, the son's mom has chimed in to say the son is straight tripping and that he's been more than supported. so, i don't think this is about what's done in the dark coming to light. parenting is just not public behavior and the son chose to be foolish.
Great interview. I rarely hear any interviews of him but this was quick to the point and engaging. I like sims off his music but not a fanatic. Some people seem to think that being a Christian means you automatically become perfect in everything you do and that’s not how it works at all. It’s about a relationship with God through Christ and STRIVING TOWARDS perfection knowing that you’ll never be perfect because no one is and God still loves you regardless. People have to get a grip and stop using their past to justify their judgment of others.
Amen to that👏🏼✨
Also, "perfection" biblically speaking means maturity, growth, completeness NOT a sense of "flawlessness." Not everyone knows that there's two different definitions. We are all imperfect people in need of and are loved by the *perfect* God. Amen 🙏🏾
so true
Fantastic interview. Kirk is a treasure!!!!! He deserves all of his success.
😂🤣🤣😂😂😂
🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 are you for real ?
Why people think because you're a Christian, that we're suppose to be perfect.
Preach on this !!!
Even the Bible says for a just man or a woman falleth seven times but get back up again
Preach Kirk! Because I'm been a Christian since my sophomore year in high school. I don't understand people anymore because the way I grew up. People expect me to be perfect all time and it doesn't work like that. It's all about your own relationship with God and not the other way around.
I have struggled with women for years mainly because I didn't have my mom around a lot. Going back to my younger era, women expect me to be nice to them and then treat me like crap. A lot of them never been there for me thru thick and thin, and only a very few was there for me when I needed them. Also, nobody seems to wanna talk about the hurt that I been through with some of the church members who supposed to love me thru thick and thin. That's harsh.
@@blakebrown84 may God become what you need in times where you feel lonely or want someone to talk to. If He sees it necessary, He will send the right person for you to pour out to but until then pour out to Him🙏 ask Him to give you discernment and make sure you listen for Him to give you instructions for your life.
This whole drama with his son ain't none of our business, esp when we don't know what led to it. Folks should keep this stuff off social media.
My mom used to tell us, "Y'all will make a preacher cuss." Being a Christian does not make you perfect. When your trying to love and discipline, as parents you get passionate. People have to understand that you're still human. Kirk will always be one of my faves.
Misery loves company , Kirk isn’t gonna let his son bring him down
@@bighaneul89 you are right but you talk like someone who don't have kids or never raised any. You also talk like a very judgemental person and just simply don't like Kirk. Remember "We will reap what we sow". All your criticism of him will come back on you one day because you were not there and don't know the whole story!
@@bighaneul89People have different experiences, relationships, etc.. Everybody is not like 'your dad,' or my Dad, so there's that.
A real saved preacher won’t because the Holy Ghost will keep his tongue and heart!
I love Mr. Franklin even more. Loved how he handled the questions and really loved how the hostess changed the direction of the conversation
Been following Kirk for years and he’s been solid to his message being vulnerable since the start about his journey and calling/purpose to make an impact everywhere with everyone
He contradicts the Bible. He's not a real Christian. Children know when parents lie, fake and fraud. If you don't follow the Ten Commandments Children will be angry because you are lying.
I just love Kirk Franklin. He is so humble and sincere!!!
Very sincere
Yeah he has a sweet young fun soul
You dont know him honey. You.dont.know.him.
@@kokostenza4732 right! He’s their god
I adore Kirk and Tammy via their instagrams. Kirk Franklin is one of the last hopes I have in the Black Church that some ppl actually are genuine and have in their heart for EVERYBODY.
Amen Kirk Franklin appreciated what you said people don't see you as being human with the same feelings as them you won't expose your son as he did you thats a man of real character 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏼👏🏼Our kids unfortunately blames the parent for their mistakes. Like I tell my son I gave you life the rest is up to you.
That part ☝️
Amen amen yes yes amen amen
This Interview was so rich & full of love, realness and so much rawness. Definitely was worth listening to. All of the ladies looked good and Kirk Franklin was just as pleasant💯 The set looked good~
I love Kirk! I’ve always admired his realness since I was a child 🙏🏾❤️
I love that Kirk never pretend to be something he’s not. He doesn’t judge... he lives in the real world. The community needs to protect him.
Y'all kill me with this "community" stuff. 🙄
What "community"? There is still a lot of mess going on in the world, and so-called christian/religious sheep aren't exempt. Black/brown people still won't get along and don't want to get along. A lot of people are still not living in reality, and some people know society is getting worse.
@@skip031890 right 🤣😂🤣🤣
He’s pretending to be a straight man though
@@Proverbspsalms I think he's a homosexual too.
Luv him to pieces! Saw him in concert in The Chi and cried the WHOLE entire concert! I was a follower of his since Day 1!!
Ok y’all in the comments are reaching lol he’s a jokester so all this “he’s creepy” etc, clearly it’s all in fun how he was acting. Also the whole thing with his son, that’s between he & his son! He said what he said. He’s human before identifying as a Christian/believer, he’s never claimed to be perfect, so just as we give grace to others, he should be given that too.
Very well said 👌🏽
Amen!!❤️👏🏽👏🏽
👏👏👏
@@bighaneul89 that is a strong accusation and his story should be heard, but he’s (Kirk) also innocent until proven guilty. If his son, as grown as he is, says his father did this, why is he quiet now?! I’m not saying he’s lying, not at all, but he should speak his truth more if that’s what it is, truth
@@bighaneul89 I agree with you. Sadly folks are blinded by celebrities.
He said I was called to protect his life. Just changed my life
He isn't the only one who has children that are against them...all you can do is love from a distance when you have done all you know to do and still they have no love and compassion or forgiveness...don't let it stop you from moving forward...one day they will see...i just hope it isn't too late.
Maybe he didn’t do a good job. You weren’t there
@@Proverbspsalms I don't know the situation either but I'll say its not always the parent's fault at times some kids just grow up as adults and do whateer they want to do but who knows nobody knows 🤷🏽♀
Whatever issues with family or even friends; please don’t post it on social media, because it can come back to haunt you. Deal with those issues privately.
I struggle with the same issue with my children. Mr. Franklin, your music is FANTASTIC! Stay encouraged! GOD BLESS YOU!
I’ve always Loved Kirk’s Voice!
respect to the Uncle Kirk for not putting his son on blast like he very well could have... respect to that he was the one who led into that conversation when he said earlier this year he himself used some cuss words.... that's someone who knows and accepts what they did
Alexa!! cue Love Theory for me one time right quick
You are 10ft tall parenting is hard especially when u have not been parented I pray your son finds peace and healing and is able to get the counseling he needs .You stay strong you are human expressing yourself does not make u less
I LOVE his reaction on the issue with his son.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
H7789, he wasn't being shady. Kirt was being polite with his response, I’m not. Why don't you get a life of your own and mind your own damn business?
@@bighaneul89 stfu. If y’all really knew their story you wouldn’t be talking so much.
@@bighaneul89 judgment is for God not us. Kirk is not perfect and gave his perspective on not speaking on the specifics of what happened with his son or his sons issues...the interview questioned the situation. He gave a clear, concise assessment, that was generally true. You may not like it, but it's real.
@@lulu7777ist 🤗
@@shoogasweet5847 said while judging the other commenter
Much Respect for being You Kirk Franklin. Thank you The Real for giving him the platform to share. BLessings ❤️
I like Kirk Franklin no matter what he can really write some touching music...he is appreciated by me very much.
I enjoy his gospel songs, very inspiring
My older kids have done this and I gave them everything... I put myself lasts most of the time... My oldest daughter just wont give me a break, after my hard sweat and tears... we parents arent perfect, never will be...however the bible does say honor your parents!
Give it to GOD and keep loving yourself!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I understand fully. I've been there as well. Keep praying for them. Ask God how to handle it and do exactly what He says🙏 'all things work together for the good of them that are called according to God's purpose' trust God
Sometimes the best way to honor your parents is to create distance. If I’m away, I can’t disrespect you. It’s hard for parents to see that sometimes they can be toxic too. (Not saying this is you at all sis). I have toxic family members and the best thing I could do was love them from a distance. I would not want to be around anyone who made me uneasy, or like I had to push them for approval
The bible also says parents should not provoke their children.
@@moe_ramz that part! Kids don’t just all of a sudden break ties. They’ve been hurt and their parents dismiss them so that’s when the acting out begins. Self righteous parenting and giving yourself a pass by saying “no parent is perfect” is a cop out and just a way to evade responsibility
Parent child relationship dynamic is so sensitive. His answer got me emotional. I’m going through a similar situation with my parents but I’m the one who’s dirty laundry was made public. I need to reflect.
I loved what he said about humanity
That's how I always felt I love and when I love someone I love HARD
I know Kirk did not just sit on Loni’s lap!
😂😂😂he's a Joker😂😂😂
Lmbo😭🤣he so silly
Wow!! I really love and respect Kirk Franklin! God is so present in his life, parenting is hard and sometimes mistakes happen. I love his new song with Lil baby!! Much love and respect to you Kirk Franklin God's blessings!!
Yes he is all the time and yes yes gods blessing is so right amen amen
If he says he wont reveal his son's life, then stop pressing him about it.
Ppl need to realize that being a man of God doesn’t mean that you are perfect. Being Christian doesn’t erase the flaws of man. We still have emotions and when someone presses you and it’s someone that really knows your buttons, that kind of thing tends to happen. The fact that the boy recorded it and put it out for the world says more about him than Kirk. God knows all and will deal with us in our own ways.
Mmmmm yeah that last statement was kind of deep wow but I guess can be true
I love Kirk’s response. People should respect that. I do.
THIS IS HOW A CHRISTIAN PRESENTS THEMSELVES TODAY LOOKING AND ACTING LIKE THE WORLD AND THEY WILL TALK ABOUT (GOD)THIS IS WHAT REVELATIONS SPEAK OF
👍
Huh
Thank You 🙏 Mr. Kirk Franklin For Your Words Of Wisdom 💓On How You Navigate Family Matters! You’re Awesome 👏🏽
Kirk Franklin is still extremely self-absorbed. Nobody is giving his son a pass. And although his son may have been wrong and out of line does not mean that he didn’t have a valid point in showing that there are some issues with his dad. Often times when children can’t talk to their parents of course they go talk about their parents. Although it may not be true in all cases in most cases rebellious troubled child doesn’t fall too far from the tree. And some parents are stubborn and unforgiving and unable to look at themselves. Rather it’s easier to blame the child for every fault. This is what I see with Kurt Franklin. A man that does not know humility. A man that refuses to humble himself and repent. A man that is never introspective and never looks at the error of his ways. Instead a man that will point out everybody else’s fault but his own.
@Anne Day You clearly don’t know how to read people. You clearly don’t understand what humility looks like. Nor do you understand publicity and political correctness. When you understand the unspoken words and what’s not said and how to read in between the lines then we’ll have a conversation. Taking everything at face value is extremely naïve.
@@champagnegold8614 - I have experienced what you've stated. I was forced into so-called christianity/religion when I was a child, and that is a form of brainwashing/abuse. That is the same mess Europeans did towards black/brown-skinned people. I have also seen/heard so-called christian/religious people, when I was a child, gossiping about each other. It is crazy that most "parents" still unable to look at themselves. That is what brainwashing/indoctrination does and is.
@Anne Day He’s not who he pretends to be
@@tanyalake9152 Exactly… its worse when it’s parents who can do no wrong
Kirk is dope. I’m a forever fan. I love this interview.
Very intimate interview ❤️
praying for Kirk and his son
Excited about the movie this Saturday! Congrats on this, Kirk!
man i feel kirk my sons 24 1/2 and mann pray for me yall
What a legend!!! ❤️
And the 2022 Grammy Award goes to…Kirk Franklin and Lil Baby. Kirk is the 🐐
I've ALWAYS Loved Kirk Franklin!
*Faith is a tricky thing, I know I have a tendency to ask for something but, still check my phone for “updates”. Good point it doesn’t protect you from being human.*
LOVELY INTERVIEW 🥰♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏼👍🏼😄🎯🎯😇😇🤩🤩
May God continue to Bless Kirk and his family. Thank You for sharing yourself and heart ♥️
Love you ladies 😇😇😇
Been my number 2 since I was a shorty!!! I absolutely appreciate his ministry 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
I love me some Kirk. I can't wait to watch his new show!
Much love, Kirk Franklin!!!
We all know things about our children and some of our children are saying some of the most. But parents will or definitely will not do the same
He had such a great podcast “Good Words”, I hope it comes back for another season😁
Even though i hurt, see i smile...
"Don't just give your money give your voice"--Kirk Franklin
Lonnie looking good!!!! That dress is so her!!!!🤩
The Christmas movie was great! It was great to see familiar faces. 👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👋
I'll put it this way. Number 1, I would NEVER get out of line with my Father, even as an adult, because if I did like that I would have no teeth in my mouth. My point has been made.
@@bighaneul89 Stay on topic. Some questions are obvious and you asking this specific question is a debate and an argument waiting to happen.
Well, there's out of line and there's very, very out of line.
@@bighaneul89 That "I would have no teeth in my mouth" is very disturbing. There is NO situation, WHATSOEVER, NO justification, WHATSOEVER, for a parent to leave a child, or, vice versa, nor siblings leave each other, "with no teeth in my mouth." Neither a husband leave a wife, or, vice versa, "with no teeth in my mouth." There is NO justification for nor any situation in which domestic violence is right.
@@aurepaschale7692 Well those of us that were raised old school understand what that means. I am the better for being taught that way. Look at the young people today. Killing each other, promicuous, dressing provocatively...due to the lack of fear of repercussions. I raised 2 sons who towered over me in their teens. They are respectful to this day because I let them know that I would not tolerate any disrespect, by any means necessary. It's easy to "judge" someone by 1 comment, but difficult to look in the mirror 🪞 and see our own short comings....try it.
@@shoogasweet5847 Wow. You just spoiled your entire point with your last paragraph. I'm not going to respond in kind and attack you personally, though the fact that you took a legitimate concern expressed over a description, over a choice of words (as always specifically placed in quotation marks in my earlier comment; AND, which comment was NOT a reply to you) SO personally, says quite a lot. But I won't go there. Just, maybe you need to take your own advice?
The Bible says: "Spare the rod and spoil the child." I am all for it. When necessary. The tongue is great not only in teaching, in coaching, but also in whipping. Into shape. (NOT verbal abuse.) There may, however, be occasions when the physical "rod", within reason, may be necessary. Nowhere in my comment did I advocate against discipline or physical punishment. Within reason. For me that would be a spanking, with my hand, or, a maximum of three strokes of the "rod" on each hand; or, kneeling for a period of time; or, writing out lines over and over and over. I would not want hit any child on the face, even in a slap. (I don't like even adults slapping each other.) All these are, of course, apart from extra chores, grounding, depriving of tv, computer, play time, outings, etc. This is discipline. This is "the rod." NOT leaving your own flesh and blood, your own child (or, anyone; even professional boxing has RULES!) with "no teeth left in my mouth." That is assault; that is battery; that is abuse; that is domestic violence. That is a CRIME. By the laws of GOD and by the laws of man. No one, not one of us, created a human being. Not even the children we sired from our loins or carried in our wombs. We created no one and own no one. GOD's law decrees, however, that even a slave must be not just compensated but even set free for the loss of a tooth. By violence. A tooth. ONE TOOTH. A SLAVE. Exodus 21: 27. If GOD says that about "a TOOTH", what can we imagine HE has to say about "no TEETH left"? If GOD says that about slaves, what can we thus imagine HIS judgement is concerning children? The Bible declares that "Children are the heritage of the LORD." I think most anyone likes to know and would one day call for an accounting of their inheritance; and/or the inheritance they left to someone. Most everyone wants their heritage preserved and treated with respect.
I ignore and pass over your last paragraph in your comment and commend your values re respect to elders, promiscuity, promiscuous dressing, etc, etc. "For whom the father loveth, He chasteneth."
Following is the note I am leaving things on:
"Preach the word. Be prepared in and out of season. Correct, rebuke, and encourage - with great patience be and careful instruction." 2 Timothy 4: 2
I loved that entrance😂
He acted so fresh 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Kirk is real !!!
You on the real uncle Kirk
I hope something great comes out of Garcelle speaking it out in the atmosphere.
Parents that are firm Christian, their children can be a challenge sometimes...you know why?...as evil is not able to attack the faith filled individual...evil attack the next best thing next to him/her...children...so your faith is shaken too...best thing is to keep your eyes on the LORD as far as children are concerned. I have alarm phone alarm of times I pray for them. No matter what am doing... 2 lines prayers. THE LORD is faithful. Yes, Kirk cover your children...same here...💜🇬🇧
I *LOVE* KIRK FRANKLIN 💞
I follow him on IG ..he is very funny 💕
We found out that he was a human being making mistakes and fixing them as we live to try to do better. That's love, not exposing you child and keeping them protected. If we talk about our mistakes and flaws all the time who would know the good of people, we live to walk this earth and deserve to be treated as such but make no mistakes about as laying down and not getting up,we over here are survivor of the universe. 🤔✔️ It's a possibility to share when ready meaning that when you are at a good place it's possible you can help to learn and see how living should be, thanks for sharing and I'm happy marriage work.
We're all imperfect people trying to serve a perfect God. Parenting is the most difficult job, it's challenging. Forgiveness is ordained, but it's such a weight lifted, there's a Godly peace. Continue on your life's journey serving God and through your ministry helping a struggling world. I love your music and testimony, for I too am a living testimony. And not for God's grace and mercy! God bless you! Still a father, a parent.
Amen amen yes yes yes God yes amen amen
I love unc KIRK!! 🙌🏽🥰 He’s so cool & hilarious too !
Kirk is saying all the buzz words, but still not dealing with the root cause of why his son has been acting out,will be glad when someone in that family will tell the truth, it sets you free
Great interview and we'll said! Hope you two make amends to your relationship.
Here come the gangster saints coming to overanalyze and judge this interview. 🙄🤷🏿♀️
I saw Kirk I clicked immediately 🔥🔥❤️
Me tooooo!
I love Kirk Franklin. I’ve been a fan of him sinceI was little!!!
Love Kirk Franklin!
Such a nicely rehearsed interview. I have this thing where I can get a strong vibe/ energy from people and even outside of the issue with his son, I see right through Kirk. He’s not who he presents himself to be smh.
Is that supposed to be a good or bad thing?? I don't know for the last statement of your sentence I can't tell🤔
They are getting on it! This season
Beautifully inspiring, Ty JESUS 🙏🎉
No ones gonna talk about how his son accused him of being his molester? Yes people, there are sick parents who do this to their children. Instead of saying his son wants attention maybe let’s be more supportive to people who are sexually abused and victims of assault. This is why many victims don’t report abuse or come out because of people who say they are lying and doing it for attention. Just because he’s a celebrity gospel singer doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of being a molester.
Or how about you not entertain bullshit. His son NEVER formally accused him. In fact he said he wasn’t talking about his father. I love how y’all leave that part out. Yes, Kirk is a world renowned Gospel artist if this was true he would lead a totally different life.
Not saying it's not true ,I have never heard that .
@@shanshine2823 it’s not true
Is he not redeemable?? Should he not be forgiven??
I didn’t know his son said he molested him. I didn’t see that part.🤔
I agree your children will not always like the way you nature them. Your words are so strong about his Son. Great fun from Nairobi Kenya. Great conversation
They should’ve played a Franklin song as he walked out. That walkout music is whack.
I love you Kirk!!
I love this man ❤️❤️❤️
Kirk is a dad
His son is mad because he sees his dad is still happy despite everything
Whose the other interviewer who said nothing 😀
Kirk! OMG the best guest of all!. Where is Adriene? It would be amazing them together in the interview
Awwwee Kirk can’t wait to watch your movie
My son is 46 years of age and we have been through a lot of pain. Continue to speak the words of God to him, pray, and allow God to be God!
Kirk said all his friends short lol. Long said if they rich it fine haha
Garcelle, gorgeous lady but that’s not the best jumper for you! Amazing deep interview! Real questions… thank you for the hard work, and entertaining us.
To me he still seems angry with his son. Now is the time to get closer. Maybe he should meet up with him privately. There's a lot of hurt there. God forgive me if I'm wrong but men sometimes forget about the children of previous relationships. It's easy to just let them be. Ijs.
I don’t know who that is..not the original Kirk Franklin 👀
Awesome interview
As my dad once taught me how GOD uses people .
I was just SO surprised because of what he told me !
your dad is right
You need to talk to your son, I could not handle the detachment fo my relationship with my child and just stand still.. Pack a bag and you two just get in the car and just drive and drive and drive.
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT KIRK.....
Y'all, go listen to Kirk's podcast called Good Words. Just the intro song has me coming back every episode! Love this guy!
