In this clip, legendary gospel singer/pastor Marvin Sapp talks about being inspired to write "Never Would Have Made It" because his father died, "The Best in Me" because his pastor died, and "My Testimony" because his wife died. He describes writing each song as a "moment," saying they weren't planned, inspiration just hit him. From there, Marvin reflects back on his heyday in the late 2000s, when he performed at the BET Awards and won all 7 Stella Awards that he was nominated for. Marvin explains that although he was riding high in his profession, he did not get to enjoy the success because his wife fell ill with colon cancer shortly after his father died. From there, he talks about fatherhood after his wife passed, his relationship with God, and re-prioritizing his life. Lastly, shares a story with Shawn Prez about backing out of a business engagement with a church so that he could take his kids to the "On the Run Tour" starring Beyonce and Jay-Z.
