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. #KirkFranklin #DenOfKings #GospelMusic #7Sharp #BluAndRoger #GospelControversy #BETAwards #Glorilla #ChristianCulture #MinistryVsEntertainment #ChurchAndCulture #Accountability #BlackChurchVoices #KirkFranklinDebate #FaithUnderFire #GospelPurity #UrbanChristianPodcast #RealTalkFaith https://youtu.be/HVb2n2rJkWI
