His teachings on fasting, faith, and family touched hearts far beyond the walls of his church.
But what exactly caused his sudden collapse? That’s the question now gripping the world. Rumors swirled almost instantly. Some speculated about a hidden illness.

In fact, just days before, he had posted uplifting messages and shared clips of his recent sermons—full of energy, hope, and vision.
Yet behind the scenes, sources close to the family now reveal that Pastor Franklin had been silently battling a serious health condition.
