After Audio Leaked In Which Kirk Franklin Curses Out His Son, I Have to Ask, ‘Should Cursing Cancel You as a Christian/Gospel Artist?’
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard the explicit exchange between Gospel megastar Kirk Franklin, 51, and his estranged son Kerrion Franklin, 32. I first heard it on Saturday night, but because I was already preparing a pretty length post for the next day, I knew I would have to get to it at a later date. If you have not heard it, it is below…As I wrote above, it is explicit so if you are offended by hearing curse words, I suggest you not click on the IG post.

“You need to get your skinny motherf**king a$$ back out the go**amn way before I put my foot in your a$$… I will break your neck! Don’t you ever disrespect me,” Kirk said.
“Did he just hang up the phone? ‘I’ll break your neck.’ Is that a threat?” said Kerrion.
Kerrion posted the exchange on his IG page. Along with the audio, he wrote, “This is why I’m done. No father should speak to their children like this.” He also posted more commentary that you can read in the IG post above.
Kirk has since responded to his son Kerrion posting this private conversation. See his IG post below.
View this post on InstagramSince then, despite what was said, many people have demonstrated their support for Kirk Franklin including Steve Harvey and Rickey Smiley. And I have to admit that I’m a fan of Kirk Franklin, and when I met him some years ago, I thought he was so nice. That being said, I’m going to try to be as objective and fair as I can.
First of all, I must say that Kerrion was wrong to secretly record his father and secondly, he was wrong to post what was obviously meant to be a private exchange between him and his father. I have to wonder if Kerrion somehow baited his father to get the reaction that he did knowing that he was recording him. And then as Kirk pointed out, he only posted a snippet of the exchange and not the full exchange which included Kirk reaching out the family therapist for help. In his apology video above, he said their relationship has been toxic for some time and based on what was said, that is obviously true. If Kerrion was going to post the exchange, he should have posted the whole exchange, not a snippet. And for the record, this is not the first time their toxic relationship has caused headlines. In 2018, Kerrion even said his father was trying to kill him. Read that HERE. In fact, I think I’ve even read at some point that his son suffers from a mental illness…Don’t get me to lying..but I feel like I’ve read that or heard that somewhere…I could be wrong though….
Now, that being said (written), let me get into this a bit deeper. Let me start off by stating that I’m not a parent. I’ve seen various Facebook posts from parents in which they said that children can take you there sometimes. I can only imagine, but I take them at their word. HOWEVER, Kirk was flowing with those curse words like it was a song that he had written and knew very well. If somebody in his inner circle said he regularly cursed, I wouldn’t be surprised.
The word says, “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Luke 6:45
Essentially, what is in you comes out of you…
I’m not saying Kirk Franklin is evil, I’m saying that he sounds like cursing is a somewhat regular part of his vocabulary…
Additionally, in the word, it is stated, “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” James 3:10
We all know that Kirk Franklin can shonuff praise God, but using the word “go**amn” is certainly a wrong use of God’s name.
Earlier in James 3, actually, the very first verse states that, “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” And the section of that chapter is about “taming the tongue.”
As a Gospel megastar with a worldwide platform, Kirk is subject to more scrutiny and rightfully so…
I’m not cancelling Kirk Franklin namely because I’m not a fan of the cancel culture…That being said, I hope he uses this revelation as a barometer to check himself. Does his persona in private match what he presents publicly. No one is perfect that is for sure. But even the everyday Christian without a platform should be demonstrably becoming more and more Christlike in their words and deeds. I have grown in some areas and some areas I have yet to grow. For some reason, I find myself arguing with people at the grocery store lately. I think it’s because it’s my only social outlet in the pandemic 🙁 But I have a mentor who has challenged me on these outbursts. We all need to people who can help us check ourselves before we wreck ourselves…
As Kirk asked for in his apology video, I will pray for him and his family. And I will keep praying for myself too…

Fred Hammond told Franklin, “You got it bro.”
You could even include a "potion station" where guests can mix their own drinks using colored syrups and dry ice for a bubbling effect. For entertainment, consider hosting a costume contest where guests can showcase their best witch outfits. You can also have a tarot card reader or fortune teller to add a mystical element to the party. Another fun idea is to set up a DIY magic potion station where guests can create their own personalized potions using different liquids, herbs, and glitter. Don't forget the music! Create a bewitching playlist with songs like "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles, and "Black Magic Woman" by Fleetwood Mac. This will set the mood and get everyone in a witchy spirit. And finally, party favors! Send your guests home with some spellbinding goodies like mini cauldrons filled with candy, witch-themed candles, or mini spell books. You can also provide a photo booth with witch-themed props so guests can take home some spooktacular memories. With these bewitching party ideas, your witch-themed event is sure to be a hit. Remember to embrace the magic and have fun with the decorations, food, and activities. So gather your coven and get ready for a night of enchantment!.
Reviews for "Creepy and Cute Witch-themed Party Favors for Guests"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars - This book was a huge disappointment for me. I was looking for fresh and unique party ideas with a witch theme, but unfortunately, this book didn't deliver. The ideas presented were not only predictable but also lacking in creativity. It felt like the author just copied a bunch of ideas from Pinterest and put them in a book without adding anything new or interesting. Additionally, the instructions given were often vague and incomplete, making it difficult to replicate the ideas successfully. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for truly bewitching party ideas.
2. Alex - 2 stars - As someone who loves hosting themed parties, I was really excited to get my hands on this book. However, it left me feeling underwhelmed and frustrated. The party ideas presented were incredibly basic and lacked originality. I had already come across most of them on various party planning blogs and websites. The book also failed to provide any useful tips or suggestions on how to make the party unique or personalized. Moreover, the photos included were low-quality and poorly edited, making it even harder to get inspired. Save your money and find party ideas online instead.
3. Samantha - 1 star - I couldn't be more disappointed with this book. The party ideas it offered were not only bland but also poorly executed. It was evident that the author either didn't put much effort into researching unique witch-themed party concepts or lacked creativity altogether. Many of the ideas felt like generic Halloween party ideas that could be found anywhere. Additionally, the book lacked any sort of guidance or practical tips on how to execute the ideas effectively. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for truly bewitching and memorable party ideas.
