The post quickly filled with love and congratulations from fans, pastors, and fellow Christian artists. Rapper Hulvey commented, \u201cLove you brother! Child of God 2 fr,\u201d while worship artist Phil Wickham added, \u201cSo awesome. Congrats.\u201d Pastor Jonathan Pokluda also chimed in, saying, \u201cCongrats!!!

In a 2024 interview on the *Youth Nation Podcast*, the \u201cUp!\u201d singer opened up about how becoming a father changed his priorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTouring is fun, but there\u2019s no world where I\u2019d be okay being away from my wife and son for more than three or four days right now,\u201d Frank said. \u201cI know I\u2019m going to be 60 years old one day, looking back, and I\u2019d pay whatever I made on a tour \u2026 for just one more day with my son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that when Bodie is older, he might join him on tour \u2014 but for now, family comes first. \u201cMaybe when my son can talk and says, \u2018Dad, I want to go on the road,\u2019 we\u2019ll figure it out. But until then, I don\u2019t want to miss a single moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank\u2019s success in Christian music has skyrocketed over the past few years. Once the frontman of the mainstream band Surfaces, he\u2019s now one of the most-streamed independent artists in Christian pop. His upbeat, faith-filled sound has produced hits like \u201cGood Day,\u201d \u201cLemonade,\u201d and \u201cGod\u2019s Got My Back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August, his album *Child of God* reached No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top Christian Albums chart, and his collaborations with Elevation Worship, Maverick City Music, Lecrae, and Josiah Queen have made him a household name in modern worship music. At the 2025 GMA Dove Awards, Frank took home three honors \u2014 Artist of the Year, Pop\/Contemporary Album of the Year for *Child of God*, and Pop\/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for \u201cYOUR WAY\u2019S BETTER.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Frank remains humble about his success. \u201cThe fact that anybody would listen to something that I make and say, \u2018that\u2019s good,\u2019 is shocking to me,\u201d he told *The Christian Post*. \u201cAnything beyond that is all just a bonus. I think God wants it that way, so I just give Him all glory for this. He\u2019s orchestrating my path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank has been open about making sure his lyrics honor Jesus above all. \u201cEven little things like that, where I was like, \u2018Can we say He\u2019s resurrected?\u2019 \u2026 just to give that extra nod to Jesus \u2014 we get into these battles. It\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus is my Savior, and I\u2019m alive when I worship Him,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce I started making Christian music and worshiping Him, going back to making pop music is like air. There\u2019s no substance in it for me personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Forrest and Grace prepare to welcome their new baby, fans are celebrating with them \u2014 rejoicing in both their growing family and the message of faith that continues to define Forrest Frank\u2019s music and life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian music artist Forrest Frank and his wife, Grace, have shared some joyful news \u2014 they\u2019re expecting baby number two!
