The Woodman of the World Church, in red and white faded paint, is where Furtick, the pastor of more than 20,000 worshipers on Sunday at several campuses across the continent, first discovered his calling to become a youth minister. The new friends then passed a KFC, Huddle House and Gilligans before heading to the old church where Furtick felt called to ministry. "Being morally honest means sitting down and actually listening to a person and understanding where they're coming from." "People are listening with the intent to reply and not to truly understand," Charlamagne continued. He also contemplated how many people with racist upbringings have never come to Furtick's revelation. Times best-selling author and media personality then went on to say that only "morally honest" conversations can bring resolution to the racial issues plaguing the nation. Nevertheless, before dying of ALS years later, Furtick's dad also gave his heart to Jesus and learned to love those who were different from him.Ĭharlamagne then admitted that growing up he was also taught by his fellow black peers to "punch a white boy."
He also explained that his father came to that dark place because of his own childhood trauma. However, he confessed his heart changed completely when he converted to Christianity.

"I'm giving out turkeys at the same school I got kicked out of," Charlamagne told Furtick. Their candid conversation commenced as they drove off in a GMC fully stocked with cameras. The video opens up with Furtick and Charlamagne during Thanksgiving of last year, leaving Berkeley High School after a turkey giveaway. The 30-minute interview, titled "Come Out of Corner," shows the two men from the same neighborhood and different backgrounds visiting several locations, including old homes, schools and churches in their hometown, Moncks Corner.įurtick posted the video on his Twitter account which shows the two focusing on their small town upbringing leading up to the establishment of their successful careers - one in mainstream media and the other as a megachurch leader.
"I wondered what would happen if we talked." "I thought, 'We came from the same town and went to the same school and we never even talked to each other,'" Furtick said of the "Breakfast Club" nationally-syndicated host. Steven Furtick, pastor of Elevation Church, and popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, returned to their roots in South Carolina for a very important video discussion on race and religion.
