A complete legend in not just the gospel realm of music but in the culture of religion and its deep connection with hip-hop, Kirk Franklin stopped by the Power 106 studios to chat with Power Mornings co-hosts Letty and Teddy Mora.

Currently promoting his latest venture with Lifetime, ‘A Gospel Christmas,’ which is Franklin’s first film project he has produced, the coveted force shares that he wants to showcase the genre of gospel music in a way that opens more people to the talent and the word of the genre. Speaking gems and light as he shares his experience as a gospel artist and leader of Christ, Franklin details his new film and how some of the lessons of the film have also played out in his own understanding of purpose and service.

Kirk Franklin goes on to share what it was like tributing the late Nipsey Hussle during the 2020 Grammys, which was also the same day Kobe Bryant passed, says a prayer for the Lakers this season, and much more.
