Christian singer-songwriter Forest Frank announced that he has lost around 30,000 social media followers over the weekend after sharing a video of the murdered Charlie Kirk talking positively about the impact Frank’s music had on Gen Z.
“I posted about Charlie Kirk so 30,000 people didn’t drive me away. I said that Jesus Christ is the Lord,” Frank said in a video posted on his Instagram. “good.”
“I don’t want you to follow me,” he continued. “I don’t want you to track my music. I don’t want you to come to my show. If you don’t do one thing with this, I don’t want you to do it. That is, it follows Jesus Christ, the King of All Kings, the King of All Kings, the Come, the Come, the Come.”
“God is good,” the singer continued, saying that Jesus “will come back soon,” and said, “If you don’t get your heart right with him and fall on your lap and repent, today is the day. Time is at hand.”
Frank said that “something has changed” after Kirk’s murder and told his followers, “I want him to know that Jesus Christ is here and that he loves you.”
Following last week’s assassination of Kirk, Frank has released a video in which Turning Point USA founders respond to comments about the value of the music of famous artists and their impact on younger generations of Americans.
In the clip, Kirk described the “unquestionable surge” of Christian interest taking place in the United States, saying, like Frank, Christian music is the “most popular” genre of Gen Z.
“Forest Frank is very popular and has become more popular,” Kirk said. “Even if you hear the lyrics of Forest Frank, they are actually pretty biblically good, and there’s something happening right now, as if it’s legal and very good to submit to God’s will and his way. And it’s a resurrection that will surprise many experts.”
After seeing Kirk’s clip, Frank praised the 31-year-old’s tenacity in sharing his faith and opinions.
“Charlie was very bold about his message. I’m not careful about using this platform to share music without removing everything.
In a later post, Frank said he was not interested in the number of followers he has on social media. Rather, he wants those who come across his content to know about Jesus.
“I have nothing else to share, but this message and the way I allowed my platform to become a lukewarm highlight reel,” he confessed. “From here, I use as much energy as possible to let people know about the only thing that’s having a problem.”
In the comments, he made it clear on his account that “everyone is welcome” and stated that writing his pursuit was “all in vain” and that he “failed” if the gospel message was “not clearly stated.”
“Let’s make heaven crowded,” he added.
