I want to thank you so much for this interview and to Kirk Franklin for your honesty. I struggled for so long and this past year God has brought me so far!! I used to listen to Let It Go on repeat because it gave me so much hope in my dark hours that maybe one day I'd be able to turn my pain into a powerful testimony. I'm working on that now and I want to thank you for sharing your pain so others wouldn't feel so alone in theirs!

I been through but not yet totally healed, still in the process. Porn is destructive and its easy to get into it but coming out takes years!
Pray for me to be ultimately healed, i fall after a month or weeks

hi kirk, Thanx fo sharing your struggle with porn. it has been a struggle for me for years now. i'm 26 and still give into the temptation. Sometimes i stay victorious for months but then my thoughts drift and i find myself back in the habit again. What hurts most is disappointing my loving heavenly father and walking around in guilt and fear of consequences. I hope i will have total victory like you have. Pray for me. Thanx for your songs "smile again" has been of particular encouragement to me and so have the newer songs like "imagine me"

I just found out that my son is dealing with this. he is only 10 and I went on your website because I respect you. I only know your music and it has helped me praise the Lord in a marvelous way. Kirk this is also a ministry keeping men and women from harm. please pray for us and I will continue to support and pray for you and your family God's riches blessing

Could you write your testimony in a book? It would help and encourage those struggling with addiction and those who live with them! Praise God for His amazing grace and thank you so much for sharing and most of all to your dear wife! What an example of a godly wife!.

I am so glad to hear that porn' can be defeated. I've been in this cycle for a long time and found myself into great bitterness and so feel some unneccessary pressure when I have to pray.
