Good job Cam!! Kirk was so transparent, thank you ! The interviews are getting better and better 🎊
"If my son doesn't win, then everything in my life is an L" spoken like a TRUE father 🙌🏾
Parents aren't perfect and neither are children. And they both hurt each other's feeling at times 💯
@@whh3571
Wholeheartedly disagree! I have children and I have poured into them the Word of God. The seed has been planted and the Gospel proclaimed to them. Should they go out and fail, my life's success will not be dependent on them, but by my faith in Christ.
If Christ has washed you clean from the guilt of your sin, how is your life an L if your child isn't worldly successful? I'm free in Him, and I hope my children heed the gospel call, but should they reject it, I'm still going to the Father when I leave this earth.
@@whh3571 what does it mean to win?
Facts😮
I told mine," The Bible says you're to HONOR, not agree.....there are things TO THIS DAY I don't agree with my Mom about, BUT I keep my mouth closed BECAUSE I HONOR HER......SOMETHING ALL CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN. HAD NO PROBLEM WITH HOW HE HANDLED HIS SON.......HE MAY HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE.
@@frederickweeksjr.1189 oh you’re one of those who cherry pick the Bible. Refuse to quote the whole scripture. Keeping your mouth shut doesn’t mean you honor your mother. You could just be scared of her because she’s your mom/wife and controls you.
If you’re gonna quote the Bible. Eat the whole scroll, especially as you try to justify what this boy up here did to his son- King James Bible
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
This was so relatable and deep.....the best interview cam....love every bit of the transparency and vulnerability ❤
Kirk you were and are okay. ALL PARENTS LOOSE THEIR TEMPER! YOU ARE HUMAN!
Are kids considered human when they lose their temper? Toxic parenting is y'all go to.
Good lord!!! Thank God he’s operating under a more mature energy than you are.
🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
He’s ok - hilarious 🤣😂😂😂😂😂
@@sheilawilliams1925 lose not loose
When he clearly says that I love you and my love is my not based on who you love because I’m still your father I’m gonna love you. That really made my heart melt. 7:44
That is what it means to be a mature Human Beings and a real man to have love in your heart and not imposing your insecurities upon your children by rejecting them and judging them for who they are and trying to change them because you feel intimidated by their sexuality. Just can't imagine parents who reject their chidlren because of their sexual preferecne. It is unimaginiable, and that type of judgment, in my mind, comes from a deep sickness of unresolved trauma around their own sexuality and guilt based on their religious upbringing and other tramatic experiencles,
I enjoyed this interview. Thank you Cam for giving Kirk a safe space to express and be heard. Your compassion and empathy is clearly seen and felt.
Parenting is HARD! Nobody handles every situation with their children perfectly every time. We just aren't all parenting in public
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Whew because my mouth can easily go left. 😥
@@n2life756 yeah and not everyone is cursing out their kids, and bring accused of sa them either. Just because you have the same worldly Spirit as Kirk, don’t put that on everybody because neither of you have self-control.
@@n2life756 the Bible you and Kirk dont read or obey has a lot to say about the tongue. Scripture after scripture- but to shorten it up- your tongue can send you to hell. But you go ahead and keep cosigning for Kirk. You’ll meet him at the 🔥 gate
@Proverbspsalms you are so right. I'm worldly and will cuss your ass out. So gone on. Judgemental muthafuckas are the reason people leave church right now. I stand by what I said... Noone handles every situation perfect and you didn't handle this one right talking shit to me.
Love this interview. I love how opened Kirk is being. He loves his son no matter what....as he should. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏾
i love that Kirk has spoken up about Kerion and is saying how much he wants his son to win. Kerion would cry on TV about how he felt like his dad didn’t care about him.
“We are wired in ways that we didn’t ask for, but that does not limit us from still being our best”! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
The guy was dumped by his own mother, never had a father, & was raised by a loving relative, probably the only true example of Christ's love in his life. And he knows he's messed up, just like everyone else is & has. Kirk hides nothing. Let's see how many pretty-boy, big shot Pasta Bottestoppers do that. Start the count....
Cam, this interview was Fantastic! Thanks for having Kirk on. This interview has helped me on how i should approach my daughter about herself. ❤ The background, And your fit was 🔥 fire too! 💯
Kirk been covering his son. I salute him every time I see him address that situation. Salute
you’re blinded
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY OR BISEXUAL; MOST PEOPLE ARE BISEXUAL; HOMOPHOBIA WAS BROUGHT INTO THE BLACK COMMUNITY BY THE WHITE RELIGION; MOST PEOPLE ARE BISEXUAL; DR ALFRED KINSEY … JASON EVANS MD … ❤️🇯🇲❤️JJLOVESTAR❤️🏳️🌈❤️
@@JSquared100 SEXUALITY IS INHERITED FROM OUR PARENTS - I AM BISEXUAL AND MY MOM IS A DL JAMAICAN PASTOR … JASON ❤️🇯🇲❤️
@@jasonevans3961 in all fairness there are multiple scriptures talking about how same sex sexual relations aren’t okay. That’s just what it is. Do I think you should love someone regardless of their sexuality, absolutely, because Jesus would 100%, but that doesn’t make it right. I’m not going to force someone to change because only Jesus and God can create that change, but it’s a lie to say there is nothing wrong with it.
@@NERIAH7DAWN YOU ARE REPEATING A RELIGION THAT WAS FORCED ON OUR PEOPLE BY SLAVE MASTERS; I REJECT THE MORALITY OF SLAVE OWNERS; AFRICA DID NOT HAVE HOMOPHOBIA UNTIL CHRISTIANITY … JASON ❤️🇯🇲❤️
I can’t really express how much I loved this interview. So I’ll just say this. Can and Kirk I have a new found respect for the both of you. May God continue to shines his light through you. Absolutely amazing interview. ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
Parenting does not come with a manual. I have flown off the deep end too and later felt bad about it. It’s just one of those things you try but then it gets difficult and you don’t take the best approach. I fully understand.
If you’re a believer then this is not Biblical advice. This is worldy advice, loving his son no matter who he loves. Gods word reminds us that nor sinners , adulterers, homosexuals etc will not inherit the kingdom of God. So loving a child’s Sin will send both of them to Hell
Who hasn’t done this as parent. Well you must not have my kids❤❤❤❤
We fully understand that you’re going to be held accountable for your actions that you’re justifying just like sir ma’am Franklin
@@kaylasweet5431Not everyone is religious, so dont judge everyone by your beliefs.
@@jaxcoss5790 so Kirk is not religious? And I said’if you are a believer’ this is not Biblical advice, it worldly. So ultimately you have the option to choose which side your on
What I like about this interview is that the host is letting the guest talk
Great interview Cam, thank you to both of you. Helping to heal ❤️
Cam they should give you the best interview award.❤
LORD please forgive me. I was so judging Kirk like I'm perfect and have it all together.
Have mercy on me LORD, have mercy.
LORD please give Mr. Franklin peace, the peace that transcends all human understanding. I know the pain he feels having a tumultuous relationship with his mother, LORD I know it. I know how that hurt has shaped my life and my future.
Have mercy on us LORD, have mercy.
Through your Son's Jesus Christ name I pray amen.
Thank you Mr. Newton for this interview.
@@DonnaClarke-il2rw amen. Judge not lest ye be judged. We gotta cut some slack, especially when we don't know the whole story. ..if we wish the Lord to have mercy for us.
I love Jesus but I’m not him!!! Powerful!
A very profound statement.
@@kipzmuzik4966 No you aren’t him you are supposed to be a representative for him .
Duh!
That was not powerful. John an Apostle who walked with Jesus said as he is so are we in this world. 1 John 4:17
Kirk does not speak for the Church. He speaks for the church world. Those are the people who love the world, are the world, live like they want to and still lie and say they love Jesus. They have been tricked by the devil. They do not obey the bible and still think they will be saved . Hopefully we can reach them and show them what the bible says all over and win some.
@MichaelHines-sl3tx Exactly! How is stating the obvious powerful or profound? The fact of the matter is if you love Him, you will keep His commandments. We aren't called to be Him. We are called to be like Him.Do we fall short? Yes, so own your sin and repent, but don't excuse it.
Not kirk franklin "ALL THE PEOPLE SAY" LOL😊
@@jefferysmith3371 That got me! 🤣
Great interview Cam!!
Wow, this is a very impactful and powerful interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great job Cam!
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And weak men create hard times. Let that sink in
“If my son doesn’t win , everything in my life is an L”
The Bible reminds us that if you honor your mother or father more than Me (God) than you are not worthy of being mine”
As believers We cannot put our family idols or anyone over the relationship that we have over God. The son is a grown man and the number one thing that Kirk has to do is continue praying for him and strengthen his relationship with God. That’s the main requirement at this point
Kirk never said his son is above his relationship with God. He simply feels his son’s success is more important to him than his own. God himself allowed his son to be murdered so his earthly children could win.
@@Queenme1-t3q He said ‘EVERYTHING in my life is an L’ That’s all I needed to hear!
@kaylasweet5431 I do believe when kirk said if his son doesn't win all in his life is a L. I firmly believe Kirk was referring to this worldly life, not his spiritual life. I believe that even includes his son even seeing God for who he is and if kirk is not able to do that for his son, then all in his life is a L. But that's not worldly but spiritual. Even Jesus told Pilate that his kingdom was NOT of this world. Before assuming what is meant concerning God, it's a must to ask for discernment. That's why God instructed us "to learn not on your own understanding!"
@@kaylasweet5431 well spoken
Liking this comment a thousand times ..
we are first of all accountable to God not our parents nor our children.
kIRK JUST PREACHED TO US WITHOUT KNOWING IT. I LOVE JESUS BUT I AM NOT HIM. AMEN. WE ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GRACE OF GOD. BUT IT IS THAT SAME GRACE THAT HE GIVES US EACH AND EVERY DAY THAT SHOWS US HOW MUCH HE LOVES US. KIRK KEEP MINISTERING TO US. WE ARE STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU NEED US. AMEN.
its always a black nasty person being homophobic.
Please read your Bible! This is not ministry this is the complete opposite of what the Bible teaches us. God word reminds that ‘ my people suffer because of lack of knowledge’ we have to study the word
😂🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄😒
@@Proverbspsalms Most versions actually say ‘Destroy’. But again, Perish/Destroy we understand that there are consequences for not knowing the word!
@@kaylasweet5431 I don’t read most versions. I only read the king James Bible. That being said I went back and checked. You were correct- I apologize. I’ve always thought that the king James version said perish. So I missed that one. It definitely says destroyed. The demonic Bibles say perish. I won’t be saying that anymore. From now on I will quote my people are destroyed. Thank you again.
This was the best interview I’ve seen in awhile
@@syki11 🙏 Kirk & Sha Sha also 🔥
Awesome!! Love your honesty and the light God has given you. This has blessed me!!
In this case it is everyone else who hold such things over your head. A person shouldn't even have to say they are HUMAN. And we know no matter what you are going to have things come up with your kids, whether you were the best parent, the worst parent or somewhere in between. Part of a child growing up and gaining their own identity is speaking up about what they did or didn't get, or what happened to them under a parent's watch. And that's fine. That's healthy. No one wants their struggles played out infront of millions; however, not being showed grace, mercy or at least some knowing of Life and its ups and downs, says more to the people who speak in an unloving way about Kirk's life vs Kirk. I'm glad he's up to sharing, being transparent. Again. Standing ovation. ❤🔥
This is why I love Kirk Franklin. Not a perfect man, but he knows a perfect God. Thank God for life lessons!
Perfect deceiver. he's also gay. Bless your heart
@@JessicaJones-np8pj I know what you're tryin to say, but don't spread misinformation like it's fact.
@@lovelylife3012 😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣 it’s right in front of your face.
@@JessicaJones-np8pj exactly! Has to bend over for a check
@@Proverbspsalms You can't tell just by site
We started losing our way and destroying ourselves the very moment we decided to be the "best of ourselves" instead of striving to be like Jesus. The Christian fight is the lifelong fight to be like Christ - He is the standard. This Americanized Gospel where there's emphasis on 'our weaknesses' coupled with a desire to be the best of 'ourselves' replaces Jesus as the standard that the bible wants us to be.
9:38 Did that smoke detector beep? I love us 😂😂😂
No disrespect. I’ve seen Cam do good interviews. But I didn’t know he was capable of a conversation this good ON CAMERA. Kirk, acknowledges the pressure his fame and success brings his children. But Kirk overcame family pressure in that other way - neglect and low expectations. He also deals with the most judgmental people and has learned to face down the pressure the church applies. Oh, and he has the pressures every business owner, husband, father and faith leader has - the pressure that comes when a few dozen people depend on your success because it pays their mortgages, rent, food, etc.
The Love of Jesus... ALWAYS WINS!! 🙏🏾❤️💕🙏🏾
I love Kirk’s response. If his son fails…I fail. Love it
I’m good & saved. Been with the Lord all my days. It’s ironic how the extra religious ppl in the comments are mean, critical, nasty & judgmental. The none churchy people are compassionate, understanding, supportive, and not trying to play God. Mr. Franklin i honor your journey. May God continue to use you right where you are. ❤
Well if he doesn’t want judged then he needs to stop showing up every six months doing interviews. Nobody cares what he’s doing. People forget the existence until he comes back out with the video or gyrating on stage or Twerking all on the Clark sisters, or cursing, etc . If he would just go out there and be with the world that he loves, then nobody would say a word. But as long as he continues to try to bring his trash into the church, yeah then he’s gonna be judged because that’s what the Bible says to do.
your lost
There is a way that seems right to a man or woman but it's end is destruction you clearly don't have an understanding of scripture
Compromisers ☝️ it's important for us to do ALL the Word. We all should strive to be like Christ ❤ theirs no good thing in OUR FLESH
You none so-called "churchy people" are only caring, loving, and understanding with people who agree with you!!! So please shut the hell up!!!!
Cam, great interview. Your channel is drama free, I like and appreciate it
Salute to Kirk Franklin the TRANSPARENCY was so real and relatable he said to his son “I love you regardless who you love “Absolutely 💯💯‼️‼️
It's really sad how so many people call themselves Christians and say they love God but don't know his voice . True believers should see through fakeness and ungodlyness. Grace and mercy is not a pass to live any kind of way. You r still supposed to stand on God's word. Stop letting people make excuses for their ungodly ways.
@@tiarratoonfrazier6481 exactly. Christians have forgotten that we are called to "surrender" AND "deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow me"
Boom 💥
Ask God to show you Grace
@jamesbrantley8105 Ask God what his grace means
@@tiarratoonfrazier6481 I thought I was THE only one that can see what this man is doing.
Great interview, he spoke with grace and compassion
I loved this Interview Kirk really be his self and that’s what I love about his Interviews. Kirk will keep it so real and no Faking at all😊😊❤❤
I’m so glad to see church folks mature in the way to deal with their children… vs treating their children the way they were treated and Franklin in this same series admits he may not be able to mend with his own mother. I wish the best for him and his family
The overwhelming pain in his voice hurts my heart cause it’s so thick.
I love the conversation!
This is a very powerful interview.
I really love this interview, Absolutely amazing .❤
I really love this interview real deep
Lovvvvvve This!!!!!! Such A Deep Powerful Interview
Hebrews 12:6-11
6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect.
Great interview.
POWERFUL interview!❤
What was powerful about the interview?
My Love for u is not based on who u love. ❤ 🙌🏽
One of your best interviews ever Cam !! May The Lord continue to bless you and your fam Kirk !!! Love Love Love❤❤❤

This is such a great interview for both men❤❤
Great interview! Love covers, no matter the relationship is what I see and hear during this interview. A parents love is unmatched, just like our heavenly Father’s love towards us❤
I love the way Kirk explained his walk with Jesus and the grace he receives. So Powerful ♥️♥️♥️
It's great that Kirk Franklin was transparent about his shortcomings as a father and expressed his love for his son no matter what. No one is perfect, and we all have fallen short. However, what I did not hear from someone with such a huge platform and person of great influence among Christians, in this particular segment, was his lack of expressing any kind of repentance. What about the scripture Roman's Chapter 1 verses 27-28? The Bible is very clear about this. Praying for him and his family. ❤
This ministered to me!
Kam interview great job! Kirk thanks for being you!
Excellent interview 😊
One of the best interviews ❤❤❤
We owe the world Nothing but owe God Everything.
Getting here with no views is crazy
Ain’t nobody checking for Kirk Franklin or Cam Newton. They’re both downlow males.
Right. Everybody knows Kirk is also gay nobody cares about his lies
I really love some Kirk .. and his conversation about his mother has brought me peace about not having a loving compassionate mother .
Great Interview!!!! Can I miss you in Football!!!
This was very nice to see. I know I CAN SEE the lack of Christ in myself. So, I would not want my spiritual “family” to use me as a standard for being like Christ, or the true definition of Christian: Christ-like; as I try to live on this earth.
I will say, however, I hope Kirk has a godly body of Believers in his life that will challenge him to be his best surrendered self, to the Lord, as he is in a position of being labeled AND esteemed as a celebrity, which is now known as an “Idol,” in this fractured world.
Great interview. Great insights. And great honesty.
Lord, protect and carry this man as You complete the work in him that YOU started. Please let him “fix his eyes” solely on YOU, Lord, in EVERYTHING he does while living his life.❤
This was a very good interview.
Powerful! Insightful!
Great interview

This was a great conversation. This life is a daily walk with daily challenges and triumphs. We'll never get it all right. And if we're trying to model Christ, we still won't get it all right. Even Jesus had off moments. I appreciate Kirk's transparency. I'm a firm Believer that it is in oir truth that God uses our lives best as witnesses. Keep moving forward, Kirk. That's really all you can do. 🙏🏿❤️👊🏿

It’s wonderful to see human side of people. But for the grace……. Cam newton has truly found his nitch. #inspiring

Fantastic interview ~ thank you! #BamaGirlInCali
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😢Kirk,i feel your pain!!!God Bless you and Family!
Wow, when I tell you Kirk is a whole messenger. His life is quite the testimony. If he started a church, I'd be the first to join.
❤❤❤❤ KIRK - "I love you, and that does not waver based on who you love ❤❤❤❤
Hold on you did that "so all the people say ah" yes siiiiiirr!!!
At some point regardless of who you are have to look at yourself! You have a problem with your mother and not speak with her. Then you not speak to your son. He spoke of this on the show! I believe Kirk has real anger issues. He said it himself that he was a firecracker that was a match for his mother. Who was a firecracker too. Him yelling on the phone was really his personality and it's okay but accept it and speak on how you contributed to the drama in your life as an ADULT grown man.
Amen Yes What awesome interview
Kirk said to Cam that it is very encouraging that you see some residue of Jesus , Kirk needed hear that..
To father and son keep on keeping on! 🙏🙏🙏
Good job cam Kirk support your son an love him. Its ironic to me that Kirk son And mother look alike
Why does he sound disappointed? I get it he's a famous pastor but at the end of the day every body is accountable for their own actions.
Kirk I will forever love love because GOD loves you and we are both HIS children.
This explains so much

I respect Kirk & how he thinks b4 speaking🔥
Being a believer means Chris image is in you, you have the spirit of Christ. So I don’t agree with his statement of I love Jesus but I’m not him. 1 Corinthians 6:17 “ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him”
