Forrest Frank doesn’t just get on a stage and sing; he worships with intention and prays for his fans in the midst of it, giving all glory to God in the process.
“There’s a real fruit that comes form following the Lord,” Frank told FOX & FRIENDS’ Steve Doocy.
When he sings on stage, Frank personally praises God.
“So if I have my eyes closed, it’s because I’m just talking to God. I’m nothing but a messenger. Everything I get is from the Lord, and if you hear anything good from me, it came directly from my time with the Lord or scripture,” he explained.
When he walks around at his concerts and looks at people when he’s singing, he’s says a prayer for them.

His faith wasn’t always active. It wasn’t until his sophomore year of college that he went to church and had an “encounter” with God.
“I can’t describe it. When I walked in, it wasn’t what someone said. It was just the presence of God,” the Grammy nominee explained.
Frank’s recent concert with Megan Morony, Kelly Clarkson, Lainey Wilso,n Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw and Lizzo at The Houston Rodeo sold 70,000 tickets in less than half an hour, Crosswalk reported.
“I go by the name of — it’s not important because there’s only one name above all names that’s important — the one who is, the one who was, the one who is to come. That’s the name of Jesus Christ,” Frank said at the beginning of the show.
His recently deceased grandfather worked as KHOU 11’s chief meteorologist in Houston, and Frank honored him during his concert.
“There’s this thing [in the Bible] about generational blessings,” Frank explained. “And my grandfather had a lot of blessings to give. And he used to speak over me and his grandchildren as a whole.”
“He said, ‘You know, the Bible says that we are allowed to pass down blessings, and so whatever the Lord has given me, I ask that the Lord will pass it to you.’ And so now I’m here at the Houston Rodeo lifting up the name of Jesus, and I like to believe it is because of these blessings,” Frank said.
Frank truly wants God to have the glory for his music. Last year, he stated he wouldn’t attend any award ceremonies for the music he creates.
“As Christians, it’s hard to know where the line in the sand is between being in the world and not of the world,” he said. “Where’s the line in the sand drawn?”
“I’m convicted, personally, that a line that I can draw is that I will not receive a trophy for something that is from Jesus and for Jesus,” he said.
It’s wonderful that Frank is so intentional with his music and concerts. He knows he’s in this industry for one reason alone — God.
