Christian singer Forrest Frank got emotional in a reaction video in which he listened to Charlie Kirk praise him for the influence his music is having on Gen Z.
Earlier this week (Sept. 10), Kirk, cofounder and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University.
Following Kirk’s death, in a video that has been viewed by over 658,700 people, Frank shared that his friend sent him a video of Kirk talking about Frank at a previous event.

“There is an undoubtable surge happening of Christian interest in this country,” Kirk said in the video. “The most popular music now for Gen Z is Christian music.”
“Forrest Frank is incredibly popular and growing in popularity. 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,” Kirk continued. “There’s something happening right now, and it’s a revival that is surprising a lot of the experts.”
After watching Kirk’s video, Frank was visibly filled with emotion as he told his 5.1 million Instagram fans, “Pretty much everyone of us, if not everyone of us, yesterday and today are just feeling this heaviness.”
“I think if I could summarize it, whether you know it or not, it is an angst for the return of Jesus—for the return of justice,” Frank explained.
“Charlie was so bold with his message, and I don’t feel comfortable using this platform to share music without stripping everything away,” Frank continued, “and like Charlie did, speak my mind to the core.”

Frank went on to do just that. “The reality is that Jesus Christ is the only way, and he’s coming back soon, and when he does, every single knee will bow,” Frank said with trembling in his voice. “It’s time [to] repent and get your life right, because we don’t know if today is our last day.”
