Kirk Franklin has spent more than three decades changing the sound of gospel music, connecting with generations of listeners, and making choices that continue to push culture forward. But after 20 GRAMMY wins and a career most artists could only dream of, Kirk says he still approaches every record like he’s a new artist.

In this episode, Crystal sits down with Kirk to talk about where that hunger comes from, knowing the difference between evolving and chasing relevance, and what he’s learned after more than 30 years of creating and leading. They also get into his new album I AM WHAT I AM, working with GloRilla again, writing about hope when life has shown you how hard things can get, and what success can make both easier—and more dangerous.

This is a conversation about hunger, wisdom, and purpose—and what happens when you’ve already made history but still believe there’s more ahead.

Chandler Moore has spent years helping people find language for faith, surrender, and worship. But in this season, he’s using that same voice to tell a much more personal story—one that includes treatment, recovery, and the parts of healing that don’t fit neatly into a testimony.

In this episode, Crystal sits down with Chandler to talk about why he chose to share I Checked Into Rehab, what he thought honesty might cost him, and how getting healthy has reshaped the way he sees strength, surrender, and his relationship with God. 

This is a conversation about truth, healing, and surrender—and what it looks like to choose yourself, trust God, and keep doing the work while the story is still being written.

Two-time GRAMMY Award winner Lucky Daye joins Crystal Renee Hayslett for a conversation about freedom, emotional growth, creativity, and what comes after you’ve already proven that your gift works.

With more than 2 billion global streams and a new album, ALOUD!, Lucky is entering one of his most expressive chapters yet.

He and Crystal also talk about staying focused when comparison is everywhere, resetting when things don’t go as planned, and what still feels exciting after the accolades.

This is a conversation about freedom, self-awareness, vulnerability, and growth.
