After losing 30,000 followers for proclaiming Christ, Christian artist Forrest Frank isn't backing down. Hear his bold call to repentance and why he says the time is short.



Christian music artist Forrest Frank revealed that he lost approximately 30,000 followers after sharing a clip of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week.

"30,000 people unfollowed me because I posted about Charlie Kirk and I said that Jesus Christ is Lord," Frank shared in an Instagram video.

"Good. I don't want you to follow me. I don't want you to track my music. I don't want you to come to my shows," he added. "I don't want you to do any of that if you don't do this one thing, and that is, follow Jesus Christ, the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the one who is, the one who is to come."

Frank then stressed the importance of repentance before the return of Jesus Christ.

"He's coming back real soon," he said. "So if you have not gotten your heart right with Him and dropped down on your knees and repented to him. Today is the day. The hour is at hand.

"I don't know if you can feel it too. There's a heaviness, something shifted, and I don't care. I don't care anymore. I just want you to know that Jesus Christ is here and He loves you.

Kirk, who was the co-founder and executive director of Turning Point USA and TPUSA Faith, was fatally shot in the neck on Sept. 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in front of over 3,000 people, according to The Christian Post. The suspect, Tyler James Robinson, was arrested following a 30-hour manhunt and is booked on suspicion of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, Fox5NY reported.

After the news of Kirk's death, Forrest shared a clip of the late activist commending him for reaching GenZ'ers with his music.

"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."

With tears in his eyes, Frank shared how "pretty much every one of us, if not every one 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."

"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," he stressed. "It's time [to] repent and get your life right, because we don't know if today is our last day."

In his recent video, Frank also apologized for using his platform as "a lukewarm highlight reel."

"But I do care if you follow Jesus," he said. "I have nothing else to share but this one message, and I repent for ways I've allowed my platform to be a lukewarm highlight reel. From here on out, I'm using as much energy as I can to let people know about the only thing that matters."

"Everyone is welcome. I'm saying that it's all a waste, and I have failed if this message isn't clearly stated. Let's make Heaven crowded," he added, referring to comments made by Kirk's wife, Erika, in her tribute to her husband and father of their two children.
