Episode Synopsis


In this powerful episode of 7Sharp, Blu and Roger Moore go deep on the recent storm surrounding Kirk Franklin, gospel authenticity, and the growing confusion between ministry and entertainment.
They critique Kirk’s "Den of Kings" roundtable, including that controversial moment when Country Wayne claimed “Jesus turned my sins into wins”—and Kirk just let it ride. Is Kirk Franklin still a gospel leader, or has he sold out to secular acceptance? Is today’s gospel music glorifying God—or just chasing fame and applause?
Blu and Roger explore:
* Kirk’s shifting role in gospel culture
* BET Awards backlash over Glorilla winning a gospel honor
* The spiritual cost of compromise in music and ministry
* The need for true accountability among Christian artists
Unfiltered, passionate, and rooted in faith—this one’s for anyone questioning where gospel music is really headed.
