The Christian artist, whose viral TikTok tracks are as beloved as his radio singles, is encouraging his fans to boldly stand up for Jesus. Forrest Frank has garnered more than 4 million followers across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, driven by his feel-good tracks like Up and Good Day, which are frequently featured as background music in TikTok and other social media videos.

He won Billboard's Top New Christian Artist in 2023 and was nominated for GMA Dove Award New Artist of the Year this year. The Dove Awards will be televised on TBN on Friday, Oct. 4 at 8 Eastern.

Asked what he would tell his tween and teen fans who are hesitant to speak up for Christ, Frank responded, "Start representing Him now."

"You don't know if Jesus is coming back tomorrow. It says He's coming back like a thief in the night," Frank told Crosswalk Headlines. "So don't wait till tomorrow because, in 10 minutes, Jesus could come back."

Too often, he said, Christians delay "shining the light of Jesus until later, and that just means you're stalling."

"Start now," he said.
