In an interview with Angela Yee, Franklin explained that as a faith messenger, he must sometimes meet people where they are rather than expecting them to come to church. He emphasized that believers often carry misconceptions about holiness, noting that sinful people exist everywhere, including inside churches. Franklin argued that true Christian evangelism requires leaving the safety of church walls to spread the gospel to those who don't already believe, stating that meeting people in unconventional spaces like concert backstages isn't compromising faith—it's practicing it.
