    I'm South African and don't know Terrell. I only got to see him interview Jonathan Mcreynolds and it was via following J that I saw his interview on KevOnStage that I subscribed to KevOnStage. So I saw this interview with Terrell here and thought, "let me just see". Dang! This is one of the most beautiful interviews I've ever watched. Super inspiring and encouraging me to keep the faith in the Lord. He does GREAT things! Terell's testimony is a true work of a miracle-working God that I serve. I don't know about his personal life as a gay man but if Terrell truly loves God, He knows the word. He knows what God wants and doesn't want. May the Lord continue blessing Him and may He LOVE God. This is amazing!!! 😳❤️❤️❤️

    Love...Love...LOVED this interview! I found and fell in love with Terrell last year. I literally had episode after episode play Thanksgiving eve and Thanksgiving day while cooking to the point my BabySis said, "Sister...is there anything else on TV?" And my response was, "NO!" LOL! One thing Terrell said during this interview is that he is authentic. And I find that to be true. Which is what allows his guest, especially the "celebrity" guest, to be so free, open and authentic. Terrell's soul is pure and rooted in righteousness. I've had a love and respect for him already, but after this interview....maaaan, I have even that much more respect for him. And that 1 Milli.....YEP!!! Attained it!!! And the show was EVERYTHANG!! I STILL can't get enough of Kelonte!💞💞 Awesome interview Kev....I loved it and I also love you in this forum.
