“I found myself, sophomore year of college, waking up just broken, just at the end of myself,” Frank said. “Every decision that I made had led me to nothingness.”

Frank continued:

I remember just going to this coffee shop, and I was just sitting there at the end of myself. I was just, man, who am I? I don’t know who I am. I don’t know who my friends are. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do in life. I don’t know what my purpose is.”

Frank then said he heard a thought in his head, which he described as “this gentle kind of a whisper in my head: ‘You should go to church.'”

“And I was like, you know what,” he recounted, “I’ve tried everything. I’ll do it.” So Frank said that he looked up a local church and showed up on a Wednesday night. That night, he shared, was a worshipful environment where he “encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time.”

“That day, I got on my knees and I cried out to Jesus that he would be my Lord and Savior for the rest of my life. And he did,” Frank shared, adding that in that very moment God “made me a new person. Like stuff was happening, I can’t even explain, but I just became a new person. I had new eyes [and] I could see the world differently.”

Eight years later, Frank said that to this day, “all that matters is Jesus.”

“If God told me to delete my Instagram tonight, I would do it. If he told me to leave my Spotify, I would do it,” Frank said. “Nothing’s off the table. All I want is Jesus, and all that matters is Jesus.”

Frank encouraged fans who don’t know Jesus or who have been struggling like he did to give their lives to Christ. He then led them in a prayer of salvation.

“Don’t wait. There is no life anywhere else. There is only life in Jesus,” Frank said. “Only Jesus.”
