Angie Martinez sits down with Kirk Franklin from the BET Awards
in Los Angeles, where he was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon
Award. The gospel musician discusses his thoughts on celebration
and awards, and tells the story of being in bed when he won his
first Grammy. Kirk also talks about why Christianity is hard for
people to buy, leading into a deeper discussion on his own
connection to God. Angie and Kirk also discuss rapper DMX, break
down whether social media is evil, and share the impact God has
on Kirk, his family, and his music. Angie asks some In Real Life
questions that range from Kirk’s happiness on a scale from 1-10,
to being a Christian that goes to therapy, and examining what is
something he knew about God now that he didn’t when he was
younger.
