Kanon Tipton, 4, first took the microphone at his family's church when he was just 21 months old. Two years and a few million YouTube hits later, the young preacher has developed quite a reputation. His emotional delivery, dramatic cadence and back-and-forth pacing behind the pulpit are faithful replications of the mannerisms he's seen demonstrated by other preachers.
NBC asked whether he thought Kanon has a true calling for ministry or if he was merely mimicking what he had seen from others, Kanon's father, Pastor Damon Tipton, said, "I think it's a little of both ... I do feel like the hand of God is on him in a special way." Kanon is the third generation of preachers in his family, following in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather.
