Retired NFL player and coach Deion Sanders shared a powerful story of how Kirk Franklin's music helped him through a suicidal crisis.

Famed retired football player and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach, Deion Sanders , is opening up about the way music saved his life. During their discussion, Deion revealed how Kirk's music helped him while he was going through a difficult time in his life. 'We need you, though,' Deion told Kirk. 'I needed you. When I first got saved, really, a lot of church folk didn't tell me the truth. I thought everybody was perfect. I thought everybody was unflawed.

When I started listening to your music, I found myself. I was suicidal. I'm driving my car off a highway, to go to commit suicide, and I'm listening to 'Conquerors.' It was like double-mindedness at its finest hour.' He said he failed because 'the Lord kept' him as he ran his car off the highway in Cincinnati, Ohio. He didn't suffer any life-threatening injuries. He admitted to being at a low point in his life, dealing with his first divorce and the possibility of losing his children. Deion went on to praise Kirk for being his authentic self while still being a prominent figure of faith
