In this moving episode of Up Close and In Focus, Kerry Douglas welcomes gospel powerhouse Wess Morgan for an unfiltered conversation about redemption, purpose, and divine favor. Wess opens up about his journey through addiction at 14 and multiple arrests before becoming one of gospel music's most respected voices with five albums under his belt. As a pastor's kid who struggled publicly while singing in church, he shares how his family weathered the storm and how he discovered that "people can't tell God on you." The conversation takes a spiritual turn as Wess performs his signature worship anthem "I Choose to Worship," sharing the deeply personal story behind the song that became his lifeline during recovery. He also discusses his latest project "Churchy," blending his jazz-influenced upbringing with traditional gospel roots. This episode showcases how God uses the most unlikely vessels, proving that your past doesn't disqualify you but actually qualifies you for your divine assignment.
