Kanon Tipton is a third generation Pentecostal preacher. His speeches have been viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube, making him a huge star. Kanon spoke in public for the first time when he was only 21 months old, although he is now 4 years old. In that first moment, he took the microphone from his grandfather and gave a sermon in baby talk that left everyone amazed.Damion Tipton, Kanon’s father, believes his son’s preaching is a “phenomenon.” But Damion is sure that his child has a special touch of God, although he knows that Kanon is imitating the adult speakers.Different people have different responses to Kanon’s preaching. For Paul Bentley of the Daily Mail, Kanon is too adorable to resist, especially when he says, “The Lord is here tonight!” Huffington Post editors are impressed by Kanon’s dramatic and emotional delivery, which they say sounds like a preacher he’s been preaching for a long time.
However, not everyone is sure. Newsday’s Diane Werts still has doubts. She says a National Geographic Channel program about young preachers, including Kanon, suggests her enthusiasm might be because their parents are training them to be “Stars for Jesus.” There are doubts about the authenticity of Kanon’s passion, which makes people want to watch it and form their own opinion.
