Kirk Franklin’s Losing My Religion album was more than just music but a powerful statement that his protege Christon Gray wants to carry to the next generation.

“His last album, Losing My Religion, I think was a statement and a challenge not only to the Gospel community but to the Christian community as a whole,” Gray, the 30-year-old musician signed to Franklin’s Fo Yo Soul record label, told Parlé Mag. “And he’s the one that could make that statement so I think me being a little bit younger and representing the next generation I can continue to carry that message.”

Franklin, 46, previously told ABC News 13 in Houston, Texas, that he believes his decision to spark the controversial conversation concerning religion was needed.
