Kirk Franklin wants everyone to know one thing. He’s never going to stop pushing the envelope. “I still have people that want what I do to fit within the realm of what they define as Christian,” says Franklin. “[After] Moving past all the ideology and religious rhetoric that sometimes exists within the community I come from, the message of love that everybody is ‘saying’ the world needs now, can’t come without including the One that created love. Why don’t we simply consider not seeing Him through the lens of dogma per se but to see love as the truth that can stand the test of time? That’s my offering.”
