Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond Take Verzuz To The Next Level

Gospel Music giants Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond will jointly host the verzuz event Sunday May 31, 2020. Bishop T.D. Jakes will open with a few words of encouragement before the battle begins at 5PM EST.

With all the craziness going on in the world right now surrounding the murders of unarmed black men and women. Hopefully this will bring some uplift even if just for a moment.

Touted as "The Healing" Verzuz, rightfully we know that real "healing begins when change starts happening". One Instagram user commented in regards to the event happening. We are definitely appreciative of Kirk, Fred and Bishop Jakes moving toward the effort.

12 Year Old Keedron Bryant, whose video "I Just Want To Live" has gone viral, was used as the background music for the event.

The broadcast featuring Kirk Franklin, Bishop TD Jakes, and Fred Hammond will take place LIVE on http://verzuztv.com/ and Instagram.

"I Just Want To Live" is a perfect example of rising up and using your voice accordingly! We salute Keedron for using his gifts. Check out "I Just Want To Live" by Keedron Bryant below:
