DeVon Franklin, an executive with Sony Pictures Entertainment and Seventh-day Adventist minister, was invited to share his faith on Oprah Winfrey‘s “Super Soul Sundays” show.
Franklin, who is also engaged to actress Meagan Good, impressed Winfrey within minutes of meeting her when she decided to invite him on the show, which will air June 17. The Hollywood executive tweeted his gratitude to the media mogul for extending the invitation.
“Thank you Oprah,” Franklin tweeted on Monday. “I’m forever grateful that God would allow us to share this scene in life together.”
On her website, Winfrey spoke about her reasoning for inviting Franklin on her show.
“I met a young man a couple of months ago who’s [sic] faith was so strong and Light was so bright, that after less than 7 minutes with him I said we need to do a show together,” Oprah said of Franklin. “An unlikely candidate to be a spiritual thought leader, (he’s a Hollywood executive) I was so moved by his passion and commitment to faith while functioning in the lion’s den of entertainment I could hardly wait to do a ‘Super Soul Sunday’ and share his insights, clarity and wisdom with you.”
The media maven went on to call Franklin a unique spiritual teacher.
