Kirk Franklin on Faith, Healing & Finding Himself

Loren LoRosa sits down with Kirk Franklin for an intimate conversation about faith, vulnerability, healing, and the many sides of who he is. Ahead of his upcoming album I Am What I Am, Kirk opens up about living in the tension between his faith, his flaws, his success, and the expectations that come with being one of gospel music’s most recognizable voices. He reflects on learning to be kinder to himself, navigating life in the public eye, and understanding what he needs to let go of in order to keep growing. Kirk also gets candid about his relationship with faith, the criticism he’s faced throughout his career, his evolution as an artist, and the personal experiences that shaped the music on his new project. Loren LoRosa also takes listeners inside a private New York City listening experience for I Am What I Am, sharing some of the powerful moments and conversations that made the experience so meaningful.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
