1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: All right, so guys, Kirk Franklin is trending. After his

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: recent interview on Cam Newton's podcast, Kirk said Western Christians

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: should stop weaponizing marriage and being single. Take a listen

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: to what he had to say.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Don't be no thirty thirty five year old single black

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: woman and go to the fen reunion. All the older

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: women are gonna do nothing. They're gonna look at you

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: in wonder why you got married.

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Where your man is, where your kids, said like.

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: It's a prerequisite for identity and value. That if you

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: don't have a man, if you don't have kids, that

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: something about you is broken. So you understand how disfunctional

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: these messages are and how we super spiritualize these messages.

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: Paul said the marriage is a necessary distraction.

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Kirk had more to say.

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: They quickly get married thinking that they're fulfilling God's will

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: for their lives, but they are fulfilling Man's dogma. You

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: can be single and be used by God and be

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: single and have purpose. Being married is not a prerequisite

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: for God's hand on your life.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: It is not preach Kurt Man. Kirk, Yes, well, you

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: know something, I agree with that, and I think that's

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: what happens to a lot of women. And I want

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: to say something, Look to a lot of single women

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: out there. You know, Kirk said something, He said, you

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: can have a purpose? You know, has it ever occurred

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: to us? Sometimes sometimes people are on a different path.

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: Just because you picked the path to go down, don't

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: mean that's the path that that person has to go down.

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 3: You can have a purpose in your life and be single.

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's the path you have to go down. There

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: are a lot of really really great single women out

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: there who have incredible lives and an incredible purpose and

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: career and still single. It don't mean that that has

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: not been office for her not to be single. She

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: just didn't want to make that bad choice, you know,

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: just because you know it's a lot of women could

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 3: be off the market, but off the market with who

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: if he ain't the right one? What you going down

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: that alley for? Right? I know that myself, So yeah, exactly,

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, And and God uses single people.

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: God has used prostitutes. God has used murderers. God has

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 3: used adulterous God has used liars, stutterers. Everything He done

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: use all kinds of people and everybody. He used society

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: says something's wrong with him. So he's absolutely right. If

46
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: you go to the U thirty thirty five, you ain't

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: got nobody. Well, you know, you know how many times

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: we've made a mistake with the wrong person in your

49
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: thirties in the I mean miserable people in the family

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: that's over there talking about you ain't got they stuff together?

51
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: Right over I ain't got they stuff together. Yeah, And

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 3: it's sitting under the tree at the family reunion, the

53
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 3: four Kims four baby daddy talking about she ain't got

54
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: no kids, don't nobody want her? Now, maybe she made

55
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 3: some better decisions, you know. But what I found out,

56
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: most people that's pointing got to look at them three fingers,

57
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: that's at that's pointing at them while they sticking their

58
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: index finger out at you, because that's always the case.

59
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: So you know, I say that, but I agree with

60
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: what Kirk saying. You know, it's kind of crazy.

61
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop doing.

62
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: It, because I'm gonna be honest with you. The first

63
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: time I got married, you know, I was going to

64
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: church on the regular and that was a big part

65
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: of it. And one of the messages was it is

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: better to marry than to burn. That was a big

67
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: message at our church, and we were encouraged to marry.

68
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: If we was dating these girls at this church, we

69
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: were encouraged to get married. I can't tell you all

70
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: the marriages is gone. You just want to burn burn me, bruh. Yeah,

71
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 3: I got married and did burn.
