Christian singer-songwriter Forrest Frank isn’t backing down after losing tens of thousands of social media followers for boldly sharing his faith.
Over the weekend, the “God Is Good” artist revealed in an Instagram video that around 30,000 people unfollowed him after he posted a clip of slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk praising the impact of his music on Gen Z.
“Thirty thousand people unfollowed me because I posted about Charlie Kirk and I said that Jesus Christ is Lord,” Frank said. “Good.”
He continued with conviction: “I don’t want you to follow me. I don’t want you to track my music. I don’t want you to come to my shows. I don’t want you to do any of that if you don’t do this one thing, and that is, follow Jesus Christ, the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the one who is, the one who is to come.”

Frank used the moment not to dwell on numbers but to call his fans to faith. “Jesus is coming back real soon,” he said. “If you have not gotten your heart right with Him and dropped down on your knees and repented to Him, today is the day. The hour is at hand.”
The 28-year-old singer said “something shifted” in the culture after Kirk’s shocking murder last week, pointing to what he sees as an urgent need for revival. “I just want you to know that Jesus Christ is here and He loves you,” Frank shared.
Before his death, Kirk spoke passionately about the growing influence of Christian music among young people. In a clip Frank posted, the 31-year-old conservative leader described an “undeniable surge” of faith in America, noting how artists like Frank are helping spark revival.
“Forrest Frank is incredibly popular and growing in popularity,” Kirk said. “Even if you listen to Forrest Frank’s lyrics, they’re actually pretty biblically good and, like, legit, like very good, like submitting to God’s will and His path. There’s something happening right now, and it’s a revival that is surprising a lot of the experts.”
Inspired by Kirk’s boldness, Frank said he felt convicted to move past surface-level sharing on social media. “Charlie was so bold with his message, and I don’t feel comfortable using this platform to share music without stripping everything away and, like Charlie did, speak my mind to the core,” Frank explained.

In a later post, Frank admitted he had sometimes allowed his platform to become a “lukewarm highlight reel.” But that, he said, is changing: “From here on out, I’m using as much energy as I can to let people know about the only thing that matters.”
He emphasized that it’s not about numbers or followers but about pointing people to Christ. “Everyone is welcome” on his account, Frank clarified, but if the Gospel isn’t clearly shared, then “all [his] pursuits are a waste.”
Ending with a rallying cry that captures his renewed mission, Frank wrote: “Let’s make heaven crowded.”
