Support from his pastor, his married woman Tammy, whom he matrimonial in early 1996, and the two children they brought to the marriage avail hold Franklin close to his religious core group, and he returned in 1998 with Nu Nation Project. The album topped the Billboard Top 200 charts (peaking at number sevener) and remained on the Billboard Gospel Albums graph for 49 weeks, paving the way for Franklin's third base Grammy (C. H. Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album). All over the track of the following few eld, Franklin worked on the soundtrack of the moving picture Realm Come (conducive the single "Thank You") and released another album, 2002's The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin.
