Je Vaughn Show

JeVaughn sits down with Apostle San Franklin, an icon of gospel music, for a deeply transparent and powerful conversation. San shares her incredible journey, from being born in Memphis and raised on the south side of Chicago in the church of Rev. Dr. Clay Evans, to moving to California to join Bishop Walter L. Hawkins' legendary Love Center Ministries. She reflects on a career that has seen her work with nearly everyone in the industry as a background vocalist and arranger, culminating in a Grammy Award for her production work on the TSU Gospel Roots album.The discussion takes a candid turn as San Franklin calls for a "truth set" in the gospel music industry, expressing her belief that a change is needed to move away from competition and toward integrity. She reveals that if she were in charge of the Stellar Awards, she would institute a dress code and a year-long ethical review to ensure artists are living the life they sing about.Delving into the psychology of ministry, San opens up about her own diagnosis of adult ADHD and discusses Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD), which she describes as a "dangerous need for affection or attention caused by childhood trauma that's never been healed". She issues a powerful call for the church to start dealing with difficult issues like molestation, rape, and abuse, stating that these things must be addressed "in the house".Throughout the interview, San and JeVaughn bond over their shared Chicago heritage, reminiscing about the city's rich gospel history, legendary choirs, and unique culture that taught both ministry and stage presence. Looking to the future, Apostle Franklin shares her goals to write three books, establish more ministry locations to continue the legacy of Walter Hawkins, and ultimately "die empty," having poured out every gift God has given her.

has experienced in a while.

As the son of a preacher and with influences such as Sam Cooke, Joe Ligon, and Marvin Winans, singing has always been part of the equation for Vasser. He joined the church choir at age five and then formed the group

Youth Edition with his older brother and two cousins while only in middle school. With his father as their manager, the group sang around Chicago for years, entering competitions and talent shows. Later, they

released two projects, the second under their new name Kinzmen.

While connected to the group, Kinzmen, Vasser continues to answer the call. After releasing two solo projects, he returns with his 3rd project, “I Believe.” This project is not just new music but introduces a new group and movement - Kevin Vasser and BLVRS (Believers). This lively group of singers is centered and focused on helping others in their area of believing and giving others the push needed to keep believing.

While preparing for this latest project, God instructed Vasser to ask those attending to do one thing: BELIEVE. Vasser's belief and obedience to God opened the door to receiving a kidney transplant. Thirteen years ago, Vasser was diagnosed with kidney failure and underwent kidney dialysis three times a week. Finally, the day before his live recording, he received a call that a match had been found. The next night, he completed the recording and received a miracle!

Vasser’s relationship with God strengthens each day, even in the face of adversity. He has loving support, encouragement, and praise from his wife, Erica, and their two children, Khyra and Kevin Jr. He includes his

family in every facet of his ministry. The extra time spent with them helps him to grow more spiritually.

With everything God has blessed Vasser to do musically, he still stands firm in his original call to preach, teach and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Preaching his first sermon at 12, Vasser is an ordained elder today.

When he is not preaching, recording, or performing, Vasser leads the Worship & Arts Ministry at the legendary Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, shepherded by Pastor Reginald Wayne Sharpe Jr. and served under Pastor Emeritus Charles Jenkins. For the past 21 years, this church has become such an essential staple in his

life. In addition, Vasser has been featured in multiple musical recordings with Fellowship Chicago Choir and has received numerous Stellar Awards.

Because he is a hard-working, professional, undeniably gifted artist, and a faithful believer in God’s glory, whatever it is Vasser chooses to do, he will do so with grace, dignity, and passion. “I am a person of strong

faith. It is important to stay true to who you are and hear the voice and follow the direction of God. I want to be what God wants me to be,” he says. “I don’t want to please man. I want to make sure I please God. And as long as I am connected to Him and in a place where I can hear Him speaking and follow His leadership, I think I’ll be in good standing.”
