“Who’s saying, ‘Send me, Jesus?'” Contemporary Christian singer Forrest Frank asked the crowd that packed Nashville’s GEODIS Park on Friday (June 19), as he spearheaded a show on his headlining The Jesus Generation Tour. From the first moments of his show, Frank seamlessly blended his own uptempo hits such as “Your Way’s Better” and “Celebration” with classic worship songs and message intended to uplift believers. Frank first came into national prominence as half of the pop duo Surfaces , before becoming one of Christian music’s top artists, blending elements of hip-hop, pop and a promotional plan that places a premium on social media-first strategies. Together, those elements have led Frank to connecting mightily with a young generation of fans. His 2024 album, Child of God , became entrenched at the pinnacle of the Top Christian Albums chart for many weeks, and entered the Billboard 200 chart, while his 2025 project, Child of God II , debuted at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart and reached No. 12 on the all-genre Billboard 200. His Nashville show opened with the tour’s namesake song, “The Jesus Generation,” before Frank sailed right into many of his hits including “Amen,” “Good Day” and “Up!” The crowd seemed to be largely made up of families, youth groups and kids/teens of all ages, all of them singing and dancing along. Many in the crowd also wore wristbands that lit up in various colors throughout the show. In 2025, his sold-out Child of God Tour Part 2, Frank sold out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

In tune with a young generation of listeners, Frank and his music continue to provide a soundtrack for and shape a new wave of CCM fans. For the majority of the show, Frank let the music lead the way, flowing from one hit to another. He also sang “Jesus Is Alive!” a song that recently earned Frank his second Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart No. 1. The song vaulted to the top spot in only two weeks, and marks his 10th top 10 on the Hot Christian Songs chart. During his previous tour, Frank had featured audio of his pastor grandfather preaching. During his GEODIS Park show, he took time to honor his grandfather as well as his grandmother, both of whom passed away recently. “Our grandma was a prayer warrior, and I have this memory of growing up in the same neighborhood as them and getting dropped off like once a month or something,” Frank told the crowd. “My grandmother would be putting her hand over my head and she&
